Just like Kasperi’s philosophy, it’s always by my side.
It moves through life with me, and seeing the passage of time leave its marks on it feels deeply moving.
I will always be cheering for Kasperi, and I look forward to continuing this journey together.
With love and support from beautiful Korea.
The backpack is as beautiful and sturdy as it appears on the website. I managed to accidentally drop some olive oil on it the very first day, it just gave it a special leopard look, no real harm done ! It will take some time to "break it in" but it is definitely a keeper ! Kiitos.
Osasin odottaa, että reppu on laadukas, mutta silti huippulaatu ja tyylikkyys yllätti enemmän kuin positiivisesti. Reppu on kaikilta osiltaan erittäin laadukas ja hienoa käsityötä! Viikon reissulla Norjan vuoristossa ja kaupungeisssa reppu kulki mukavasti mukana, istuu hyvin selkään ja on hyvä kantaa. Vahva suositus!
After about two years of use, the originally beautiful olive green color has faded, becoming almost the color of leather...
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry that the way the olive leather has patinated did not meet your expectations.
The change in colour is part of the patina of the leather. The leather we use is vegetable-tanned and aniline-dyed and does not have the pigment coating found on most leather, so it patinates more strongly over time. This is a choice we've made as we want to show the leather in a more natural state and believe strong beautiful patina is what makes leather the most special material. Over time, the colours turn towards warmer and earthier tones.
We, and many of the people we’ve met who use these bags, feel that the leather becomes more beautiful and personal with time. However, we completely understand that this may not be what everyone expects. We have tried to show examples of the olive leather’s patina on our website and ads, but we will work on communicating this even more clearly.
Kind regards,
Michael and the Kasperi team
First the backpack felt quite stiff. But after a while it breaks in and it feels amazing. The buckles are easy in use and the maintenance isn't that difficult. I'm considering buying the smaller version for my work. I would recommend this backpack to anyone. It's reliable, and I've used it in all weather conditions!
