Made by hand in the UK, this pleasing and practical daypack has been created exclusively for the V&A. Crafted from cotton canvas accented with sustainably produced Italian vegetable-tanned leather, the backpack has adjustable straps designed to sit comfortably over the shoulders.
Be prepared for the day ahead; pack a change of clothes, a small laptop or tablet, a wash bag, work papers or a good book and set off in style. The opening flap is held closed with a metallic golden swivel hook, secure and easy to use.
The bag’s leather base and closing strap are debossed with a repeated oak leaf pattern adapted from a design for silk created by J. D. Cornuaud in around 1860 and held in the V&A archive.
Based in East London, Natthakur has been making handcrafted leather bags in the UK for over 20 years, uniting timeless, understated and utilitarian aesthetics with classic British design. This range draws on an autumn colour palette, with an embossed oak leaf design on the leather folds and straps creating a moment of connection with the V&A collection.
