Originals: Fold Top – Dune Wayfinder
As part of the 2024 Christmas Calendar, we present the Dune Wayfinder Set — a one-of-a-kind combination created for true adventurers. Three packs of this kind are made, and only one set like this exists. Secure yours while you still can!
We've made just three in this beautiful leather we call the dune. It is a pack that will surely turn some heads. The frame is made from Virgilio's sturdy leather and the folding part from SOHREs beautiful soft and supple leather.
Imagine being at ease on your journeys. The satisfaction of owning a piece that is built to last, a true companion for all your adventures. The joy that comes from knowing your backpack was hand-crafted with passion – in Finland. Made out of high-quality European vegetable-tanned full-grain leather – this backpack is made to stand the test of time, by your side for a lifetime.
The unique design of the saddle leather back frame distributes weight evenly for comfortable carrying of heavier loads. The wide leather straps conform to the contours of your shoulders for an exceptionally comfortable fit.

Care
How to Care for Your Leather Backpack
Start using your backpack right out of the box. Leather works well even in adverse weather. If it gets wet, dry it properly afterward. Apply leather wax every 4-6 months or when the leather feels dry. Use a cloth to spread a thin layer of wax, let it absorb overnight, and then polish with a cotton or wool cloth. Avoid synthetic sprays that can clog the leather’s pores.
Break-in Period
Like all premium leather goods, Kasperi backpacks have a break-in period. Use the bag actively for a few weeks to allow the leather to shape and soften. If pressure points form, squeeze the straps lightly to ease the process.

We stand by the right to repair. Our bags are designed for serviceability and built to last for decades. If repairs are ever needed, visit our Repair Service Page.

Duties & Import Fees
Customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees. Customers ordering from EU member states are exempt from duties or import fees.
The United States
The United States has a de minimis threshold of $800 USD. This means that orders valued under $800 typically do not incur import duties or taxes.
For orders above $800, U.S. Customs may apply duties based on the product type, i.e. Leather goods (bags, backpacks, accessories): 8% duty. In almost all cases this means that ordering everything all at once will still be more reasonable and convenient than paying for two shipments.
Please check for the most up-to-date information through relevant sources.
FedEx or UPS will handle customs clearance and may charge a small processing fee.
Worldwide
Many countries benefit from EU Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) or De minimis rules reducing or eliminating import duties:
- 0% Duties: UK, Norway, Switzerland, South Korea, Canada, Singapore
- Reduced Duties: Japan (3.8%), Mexico, Chile, and others
- De minimis: Australia has a high de-minimis that exempts import duty for most of our products.
Your local VAT or GST may apply depending on local regulations. FedEx or UPS handles customs clearance where applicable.
Please check for the most up-to-date information through relevant sources.
