A Rugged Waxed Canvas Backpack, Built for Modern Explorers
Inspired by traditional trapper packs and reimagined for everyday life, the Uppsala canvas hiking backpack blends old-school character with modern practicality. Crafted from waxed cotton canvas and finished with crazy horse full-grain leather, it’s designed to age beautifully while standing up to daily use.
Durable, functional, and quietly distinctive, this canvas backpack works just as well on a day hike as it does on a commute or a weekend away. Its muted, nature-inspired color palette allows it to transition effortlessly from the city to the outdoors - without ever feeling out of place.


Built to Handle Everyday Wear - and Then Some
The Uppsala is made for real life. Its reinforced shoulder straps, secured with metal rivets at stress points, provide long-term durability and comfortable load distribution. The leather top handle, backed with canvas mesh, offers a solid and reliable grip when carrying the bag by hand.
Key seams - including those around the zipper and high-tension areas - are doubled for added strength. The main compartment closes with a drawstring system protected by a waxed canvas flap, helping shield your gear from light rain and can be re-waxed over time to maintain its water resistance while keeping contents discreetly out of sight.
In daily use, the drawstring-and-flap closure strikes a good balance between weather protection and easy access, while the padded shoulder straps remain comfortable even when the backpack is fully loaded for a full day on the move.
The result is a backpack that feels reassuringly solid: not overbuilt, not fragile - just ready to be used day after day.
Vintage Character, Designed for Modern Carry & Organisation
While its look nods to heritage design, the Uppsala is organized for contemporary needs. With a total capacity of 18 liters, it offers ample room for daily essentials without feeling bulky.
Waxed canvas is chosen here for its durability, natural water resistance, and longevity, unlike many synthetic fabrics, it can be re-treated over time and develops a distinctive patina with use.
On the outside, four thoughtfully placed pockets make organization easy: three flap-closure pockets for quick-access items, and a discreet zippered pocket at the back - ideal for valuables like your phone, wallet, or passport when navigating public transport.
Inside, the lined main compartment features a padded laptop sleeve (up to 15”), along with additional slip and zip pockets to keep smaller items neatly separated. Whether you’re packing for work, travel, or a full day out, everything stays organized and easy to reach.


A Reliable Companion, Wherever the Day Takes You
The Uppsala isn’t built for extremes — it’s built for everyday reliability. From daily commutes to spontaneous hikes and weekend escapes, it offers a comfortable, practical carry that adapts naturally to your pace and surroundings.
Designed for people who value durability and versatility over technical excess, it’s a backpack you can rely on day after day — in the city, on the trail, and everywhere in between.
