Bags for Every Journey
Hey there 👋 and welcome to Eiken Shop, your go-to destination for quality bags that go beyond just carrying your gear.
Born in France and shaped by years of travel and outdoor exploration, Eiken was built on a simple mission: to bring together timeless design, rugged durability, and conscious craftsmanship in one curated shop.
We've tested backpacks on winding mountain trails, rainy city streets, and endless road trips, and we know what works. Every product we carry is handpicked for its style, functionality, and long-term value. From vintage-inspired canvas to eco-friendly, vegan alternatives, we source gear for every kind of explorer.
Whether you're hiking remote peaks, biking to work, or capturing sunsets on the go, we’re here to help you pack with purpose, and peace of mind.
Our Mission: Inspire Exploration
We believe the most meaningful stories begin the moment you step beyond your comfort zone. At Eiken, our mission is to encourage that leap, by equipping you with gear that empowers exploration, sparks curiosity, and supports your every adventure.
From solo city wanderings to remote mountain escapes, we’ve lived the thrill of discovery, and built our shop around helping others experience it too. Wherever you go, we’ve got your back — literally.
STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
Add a Timeless Style to your Outfit
The rugged canvas material and classic leather accents create a unique look that will never go out of style. The backpacks' neutral color options and sleek designs make it a versatile accessory that complements any outfit.
EIKEN was born from a deep connection with nature, wild, raw, and endlessly inspiring. From alpine valleys to forest trails, the outdoors have always felt like home to us. It’s where we test gear, reset our minds, and find new ideas.
Our philosophy is simple: respect the places you explore, and choose gear that does the same. That’s why we handpick travel essentials made to last, crafted from organic or recycled materials, designed with intention, and built to tread lightly on the planet.


We’re not just retailers, we’re explorers at heart.
Born and raised in the heart of the Alps, we’ve always been drawn to wild landscapes, quiet trails, and the kind of journeys that leave a mark. In 2014, a group road trip sparked an unexpected realization: finding gear that was durable, stylish, and fairly priced wasn’t easy. Everything felt either too flashy, too flimsy, or way out of budget.
So in 2018, we decided to build what we couldn’t find: a curated shop run by adventurers, for adventurers. Eiken Shop is our way of sharing gear we genuinely believe in, the kind we test ourselves on hikes, road trips, and everyday life outdoors.
Since then, we’ve helped thousands of like-minded travelers find bags that reflect their values: quality, timeless design, and a deep respect for nature.
Eiken isn’t run by algorithms or big logistics warehouses — it’s shaped by real people who hike, ride, get lost, and come back with stories. Here’s the small but mighty team behind your favorite gear.

The Values That Shape Our Journey
Exploration & Discovery
The best memories rarely come from staying comfortable. We believe in the kind of exploration that leaves you changed, whether it's a solo hike through misty pines or getting lost in an unfamiliar city. Every product we select is tested for real-world use: durable, adaptable, and made to follow wherever your story unfolds.
Sustainability & Responsibility
Nature isn’t a backdrop, it’s our beginning. That’s why we choose materials that tread lightly: recycled fabrics, vegan leather, and responsibly sourced components. We work with makers who share our ethics, and we design for longevity — because buying better is part of traveling better.
Quality & Craftsmanship
We’re detail obsessives. From rugged waxed canvas to crazy horse leather, we choose materials that age with grace and hold their ground in all weather. Our gear is functional by design, tested, refined, and built to accompany you for years, not seasons.
Inclusivity & Versatility
Adventure doesn’t have one shape. Whether you're a student on a bike, a photographer in the field, or a commuter crossing the city, we want you to carry something that feels like you. That’s why we offer timeless, practical bags, built for all walks of life, and all kinds of journeys.
Connection & Community
Eiken is more than a shop, it’s a gathering point. Through our blog, stories, and shared journeys, we aim to build a community of people who chase meaning, not just miles. We celebrate the quiet moments, the big leaps, and everything in between.
Embracing the Challenge
We believe that discomfort is a compass. Every unfamiliar road, every step into the unknown, that’s where something shifts. We’re here to support that edge of adventure, with gear that’s as resilient as you are. And always, with a touch of timeless style.
Our Collections
Our product range is built for those who move with intention: explorers, creatives, commuters, and wanderers. Each collection reflects our values: durability, timeless design, and respect for the planet.
We know it’s not always easy to trust an online store, especially when you're buying something built to follow you on big adventures. That’s why we do everything we can to be transparent, responsive, and available.
