EIKEN's Philosophy

But nature, and more precisely the French Alps, is our true home. We therefore aim at providing robust & trendy travel equipment made with noble materials and designed to last.

who are we?
A Passionated Team of Adventurers

We are like you, nature & adventure lovers. Having grown up in the heart of the French Alps, from a very young age we have been passionate about the beautiful landscapes that surround us.

Travellers in our spare time, we decided to go on a road trip altogether in 2014. Not very well equipped, we were looking for a good e-commerce site that offers travel products combining quality, style and reasonable prices.

We didn't find much we liked that would fit our needs. Since 2015 we have therefore decided to launch EIKEN to offer you a curated selection of travel accessories that will be useful, timeless and of premium quality

Noble & Sturdy Materials

Brass hardware that withstand the test of time

Premium Cowhide Leather

Weatherproof Waxed Canvas

A Curated Selection of Vintage, Robust & Reliable Travel Bags

Eiken stays committed towards making sure you travel with the best travel equipment crafted with the most noble and robust materials available.

Dedicated towards creating classic pieces that offer no compromise on quality, we handpick the best materials from all around the world. Our products are made of woven cotton canvas and crazy horse leather, a oil immersed full grain leather with a unique touch that beautifully gets patinated with age.

Whether it is a short day-trip to nearby vicinity, your daily commute to the workplace, we features a variety of timeless bags catering to your custom needs. As a team of globetrotters in love with the wilderness, we took inspiration from nature itself. Creating unmatched travel bags that reflected the rustic charm of the wild and class of the urbane was our main goal. With the ability to transition from workday to weekend, Eiken travel bags blend convenience with style!

The magic lies behind choosing a bag that lets you focus on creating memories and looking ahead; not worrying about the weight you carry on your shoulders.

I've been looking for the perfect canvas backpack for ages is feels like and I think I've finally found it! It's roomy (fits my 15,6 inch laptop along with packing for a weekend away), it's sturdy, it's comfortable to carry and it's absolutely gorgeous and will look great with almost any outfit. All in all I'm super happy with my new bag and judging by the look and feel of its quality it'll go on adventures with me for many years to come!

The Reykjavik model is a really pretty bag, with a nice shape and look.

I use it as a school and travel bag, it has a lot of room in it and can fit even more when you don't lock the 2 straps. I can fit my 15.6" computer in the dedicated pocket. I like the zipped pocket in the back and the huge front pocket, they are really useful. I'm very satisfied whith my purchase !

Big and strong backpack perfect for adventures (I've brought it to the mountains) but also for school or university. Pc fits in. A reusable water bottle and a small umbrella fit on the sides. Pockets are comfortable too. Highly recommended!

This Reykjavik bag is very stylish and useful. We took two Reykjaviks on a trip to Asia and we were really happy with our bags. The bags were practical and firm. I love all the pockets and the beautiful design.
