Built for the summit, the street, and everywhere in between. The Aravalli Backpack is a tribute to the ancient, rugged mountain range that defines the geography of Rajasthan. Inspired by the classic rucksacks of early mountaineers and explorers, this bag is a masterful blend of vintage utility and enduring craftsmanship.

Three exterior pockets keep quick-reach items close at hand, while the buckled top flap and drawstring closure guard a spacious, canvas-lined interior sized for your laptop, books and a day's provisions. Wide, padded shoulder straps carry the load with ease — on a mountain trail or the morning commute.

Certified Real Leather, tested by the Hohenstein Institute, Germany. Hand-finished by our artisan Pradeep — paid in full, upfront, before this piece ever found its way to you.

How your bag is made

Step 1 of 5
Tanning & washing
0:30

The hides are tanned with babul bark, then worked and laid out to cure by hand. It is the slow way, and the reason the leather softens with age instead of cracking.
