The best heritage backpacks in the world. Chosen by our specialist team of carry makers, designers and enthusiasts. Find the right one for you!
Bedouin Delireis
We’ve been shouting ‘Bedouin!’ from the rooftops for a while now. And for good reason: they blend beautiful materials and elite craftsmanship and throw in symbols of surrealism, orientalism, fantastical geometry and momento mori into their lining for good measure.
