One Backpack, From City to Country
The Kingston was designed for people who don’t want to choose between a smart city backpack and something capable of heading further afield.
Its traditional proportions, durable materials and considered storage make it equally at home on the commute, travelling between cities or spending a day in the countryside.
City & Commuting
Smart enough for the daily commute, with practical storage for your laptop and everyday work essentials.
Travel
A dependable everyday backpack for journeys, overnight trips and exploring somewhere new, without the feel of a technical travel pack.
Countryside
Substantial waxed canvas and leather construction make the Kingston equally suited to weekends and days outdoors.
Design Story
A Modern Take on the Traditional British Rucksack
The Kingston draws inspiration from the character and proportions of traditional British rucksacks, reinterpreted for modern everyday life.
The result is a backpack that feels familiar without being old-fashioned.
A timeless silhouette combined with practical storage, space for a laptop, a drawstring cinch closure, and the durability expected from a daily carry.
18oz Waxed Canvas
Substantial, hard-wearing canvas that develops a rich patina through use.
Leather Detailing
Durable leather detailing adds strength and character in all the right places.
Secure Drawstring Closure
An easy access drawstring closure beneath the lid, keeps your gear secure and protected from the elements.
Practical Storage
A generous 17L capacity with smart pockets easily fits a laptop, daily work essentials, and travel gear.
Protected Laptop Sleeve
A dedicated 15″ sleeve protects your laptop with plenty of room left for all your gear.
All-Day Comfort
Padded shoulder straps and a soft back panel deliver a lightweight, all-day carrying comfort.
Durable By Nature
A Backpack That Gets Better With Use
The Kingston isn’t designed to remain pristine forever.
Waxed canvas naturally changes as it’s carried, developing creases, marks and a unique patina. The leather will also develop its own natural character.
Exposure to weather, movement and everyday use gradually changes each surface, where colour and texture change gradually, creating wear patterns.
Rather than treating these changes as wear to be hidden, we consider them part of the character of a well-used canvas backpack.
Materially Different
Why We Chose Waxed Canvas
The Kingston is built with our signature cotton canvas, densely woven and treated with wax, alongside durable leather detailing.
The result is a strong, weather-resistant fabric that develops character with age.
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 us.

“Great quality and very fast delivery. Oldfield is a very friendly and helpful seller of this great shop full of tasteful handcrafted goods. The size of the backpack is perfect and I am very happy that I found it. I searched for a touch of smaller backpack for dog-walks into the forest. But I also wanted an outdoor-look with tough and artless materials. So this is why that backpack is a perfect match. Thanx. That was not my last purchase at your shop.”

For Work & Weekend
“This is a really nice well made duffle bag. The zippers are nice too. I needed a bag that would fit my work stuff, plus my purse. It also needed to look decent enough to be seen in an office setting. I also needed one that is tough incase the crap hit the fan and I had to go. This bag was perfect for all of that!”
Alice
Backpack Built To Last
“This backpack is beautifully made, the leather details works so well and shouts quality. I bought this backpack for me after a very very long search for somethings a little different and fortunately I came across your site on Etsy. I will have great pleasure in using this for many many years to come and it should get better with age.”
