Use & Leather Care

How long is the break-in period of the leather backpack?

We believe that leather is the best material for backpacks because it conforms to our bodies over time and can last for decades while remaining in good condition.

Like all high-quality leather goods, Kasperi backpacks also have a break-in period. It will take a couple of weeks of active use for the shoulder straps to start forming to your body. If you experience any pressure points, squeeze the straps lightly with your hands from the pressure points to help it form faster.

Closing and opening the G-buckles is also stiff at first but as the leather loops softens and form over time it will become fluid.

With proper care and use, these packs develop a unique patina and become more personal by the day.

How should I care for my leather backpack?

You can start using your backpack straight out of the box. Leather works well even in bad weather conditions, and getting wet is fine as long as it is properly cared for. Of course the harder use, the faster patina, but that only ads character to the pack. 

Treat with wax every 4-6 months or when the leather feels like it's drying, treat lightly with wax. Wipe the leather to clean it. With a cloth spread a thin layer of wax on the leather. Allow the wax to permeate overnight and then polish the remainders off with a cotton or wool cloth. The scent of tar will fade away in a couple of days, if a lot of wax is applied, this will take longer. 

We recommend using natural products like bees wax based products or natural oils. Synthetic leather protection can block the pores of the leather. This will reduce the leather's ability to absorb wax and oils - ultimately reducing the lifespan of the backpack.

What about repairs or service?

We believe in the “right to repair”. Every aspect from structures to material thicknesses considered for repairability. Because our bags are designed to last for decades, they will require servicing at some point.

The hardest-wearing parts (i.e. shoulder straps) are made from 3mm leather for longevity and the whole structure is designed with serviceability in mind.

We offer a repair service for our bags and backpacks.

Svart ryggsäck i läder

Vilket hantverk! Snygg, skön på ryggen. Lite mer rymligare än väntat, vilket är bra. Baksidans ficka hade jag velat ha lite djupare, men inget stort problem. Osar kvalitet, helt galet. Känns som att den kommer att hålla längre än jag kommer att orka bära den på ryggen

Grail Bag

What can I say? The bag is fantastic and beyond expectations. Not many (any?) seen in the wild here in Ottawa, Canada yet so it gets lots of compliments. My only regret is now that it’s here after the long wait I not longer have the excitement of anticipation. Well done Kasperi team.

Sous le charme

J'ai ce sac depuis depuis 15 jours, et il me suis partout, boulot, vélo, balade, voyage en avion. Son look est unique, et la qualité de fabrication est inégalable. Il est confortable sur le dos et se pose debout sur le sol. La petite rallonge de cuir est très pratique pour le fermer quand il est vraiment plein. Les sangles sous le sac me permette de transporter mon hamac, et celle sur les côtés pour mes chaussons d'escalade.
J'ai hâte de pouvoir l'emporter en randonnée quelques jours cet hiver.
Je ne regrette pas du tout mon investissement, il est fait pour durer et c'est exactement ce que je cherchais, un sac qui vivra avec moi.

Sac fold top

Je possède ce sac depuis un an, rien à redire. Qualité de fabrication parfaite, patine incroyablement bien avec temps. Le prix n’est pas négligeable mais c’est un très bon investissement dans le temps !
Le cuir est souple et solide, il s’adapte à la morphologie de son porteur.
Je l’ai amené en haute montagne, en ski et en randonnée, il a toujours été fidèle !
