Bags for Every Journey
Hey there 👋 Welcome to Eiken Shop. If you're here, you're probably looking for a bag that does more than just carry your stuff. Good news: that’s exactly what we’re about.
Based in France, we’ve made it our mission to handpick a curated selection of backpacks and bags that check all the boxes: style, functionality, durability, and yep, sustainability too. From vintage-inspired classics to modern minimalist bags, from recycled fabrics to vegan-friendly designs, we’ve got something for every kind of explorer.
Whether you’re off to the mountains, wandering city streets, or chasing sunsets with a camera in hand, we’re here to help you pack with purpose, and peace of mind.
Our Mission: Inspire Exploration
We believe the best stories start when you step outside your comfort zone. That’s why we’re here: to inspire you to get out there, push boundaries, and explore the world in your own way.
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's Philosophy
Nature as a Providing Ground
EIKEN was born from a love affair with nature: wild, raw, and endlessly inspiring. From the lush valleys to the rugged peaks, it's the great outdoors that truly feel like home.
Our philosophy is simple: choose gear that respects the places it helps you explore. That means handpicking travel essentials that are not only stylish and durable but also made with organic or recycled materials, built to last, and built to tread lightly.
who are we?
A Passionated Team of Adventurers
We’re adventurers, just like you.
Born and raised in the heart of the Alps, we've always been drawn to wild landscapes, quiet trails, and the thrill of discovering new places. In 2014, we hit the road together on a group road trip, and quickly realized how hard it was to find gear that looked good, held up over time, and didn’t cost a fortune.
The options felt either too flimsy, too flashy, or way overpriced. So in 2018, we decided to build what we couldn’t find ourselves: a curated shop for travel accessories that blend quality, function, and timeless style.
Since then, Eiken Shop has been our way of sharing the gear we genuinely love, the kind of stuff we use ourselves on hikes, road trips, and everyday adventures.

The Values That Shape Our Journey
Exploration & Discovery
We believe the best memories start outside your comfort zone. Whether you’re wandering through a new city or tackling a mountain trail, our gear is made to move with you. Every bag we carry is selected for its adventure-readiness — tough, functional, and built for wherever the road takes you.
Sustainability & Responsibility
We care about the planet as much as we care about great design. That’s why many of our products are made from recycled fabrics, vegan leather, or responsibly sourced materials. We also prioritize long-lasting craftsmanship, so you buy once — and buy better.
Quality & Craftsmanship
We’re obsessed with good materials. From crazy horse leather to waxed canvas and innovative eco-friendly textiles, we choose pieces that balance durability, design, and detail. It’s gear that looks good and lasts.
Inclusivity & Versatility
Everyone’s journey is different — so our collection reflects that. Whether you're a traveler, a photographer, a student, or a city commuter, you'll find a bag that fits your lifestyle. We offer vintage designs, modern minimalism, and eco-conscious options to help you carry what matters, your way.
Connection & Community
EIKEN isn’t just a store — it's a crew of outdoor lovers, storytellers, and curious minds. Through our blog and social channels, we share inspiration, celebrate your adventures, and invite you to be part of a growing community of explorers.
Embracing the Challenge
Trying something new? Heading somewhere unknown? That’s where growth happens. We’re here to support your leap into the wild with bags that are as resilient and reliable as you need them to be — with a side of timeless style, of course.

★★★★★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!
Marianna![customer review of the Göteborg dark grey vintage laptop rucksack]()
★★★★★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.
