Made for the Details of Everyday Life

Heritage character without the technical look. Leather cross straps, waxed canvas and understated hardware give the Harlington its distinctive heritage-inspired profile, making it a considered alternative to conventional work and commuter backpacks.

Designed around the things you actually carry, its considered storage keeps laptops, work essentials and smaller everyday items organised and easy to reach.

Work & Commute

A smarter alternative to a technical work backpack. Carry your laptop, documents and daily essentials in a backpack that feels at home in a professional setting without looking overly corporate or technical.

Ready for days on the move. Durable waxed canvas, comfortable straps and thoughtfully placed storage make the Harlington a natural companion for travel, days out and exploring somewhere new.

Everyday Carry

Thoughtful storage, inside and out. Exterior and interior zip pockets keep smaller items organised and easy to reach, while the main compartment and laptop sleeve give you dedicated space for the things you carry every day.

Design Story

Heritage Character. Contemporary Function.

The Harlington takes inspiration from heritage canvas rucksacks and gives the idea a cleaner, more contemporary expression.

Its waxed canvas construction, leather cross straps and roll-top opening retain a sense of heritage character, while considered storage and a protected laptop sleeve make it suited to modern everyday life.

The result is a functional backpack that doesn’t look like a technical backpack.

Thoughtful Storage

Everything you need, organised and easy to reach, with a combination of an 18 litre main compartment, internal and exterior zip pockets, and a protected 15″ laptop sleeve.

Signature Leather Cross Straps

The detail that sets it apart. The Harlington’s leather cross straps give the backpack its distinctive character while helping secure the rolled opening.

A Distinctive Roll-Top Design

The fold-over opening gives the Harlington its recognisable silhouette while providing straightforward access to the main compartment. This works naturally with the front cross straps, forming one of the defining details of the backpack.

Built for Everyday Use

Durable materials that age with character. Densely woven waxed cotton canvas provides weather-resistant protection for everyday use, while natural creasing and changes in tone give the material more character over time.

Durable By Nature

A Backpack With Character That Grows With Time

The Harlington is made from densely woven waxed cotton canvas and leather. Materials chosen for their durability, weather resistance and natural character.

Waxed canvas isn’t intended to stay pristine. With regular use, the surface naturally softens and develops changes in tone, creasing and subtle marks that become part of the backpack’s character.

This is a bag that becomes more personal to you, the longer you carry it.

Materially Different

Why We Chose Waxed Canvas

The Harlington uses densely woven waxed cotton canvas for its combination of durability, weather resistance and distinctive character.

The wax treatment helps protect the canvas from light rain and everyday moisture, while allowing the material to develop a natural patina through use.

First used by 16th-century Scottish mariners, waxed canvas has a long history in the outdoors. Its time-tested durability made it a natural fit for our design philosophy.

Naturally water-resistant

Durable, hard-wearing and long lasting

Develops a unique patina through wear

Easy to maintain and re-wax
