Kasperi Originals are the first and sometimes the only items of their kind. They are items with a meaningful history. They are items with a certain significance.
We dream of a world where all types of items are used for life and cherished. A world where memories and stories connect to the things we own and use. A world where those stories get passed on together with the things. A world where things are valued for the memories they create. Kasperi Originals is an ode to that world.
Sometimes they are the first pieces of a classic batch, used and tested hard. Sometimes they are untouched experiments. Sometimes they've been around and seen the world. Sometimes they are the markers of a milestone.
Kasperi Originals are pieces, made to be used, cherished, and passed on for generations.
We got a hide of vegetable-tanned bovine leather from Conceria Puccini and Conceria Dingo to make this two-of-a-kind piece. The rusty supple leather from Puccini and reddish-brown frame from Conceria Dingo make for a combination that could have been featured in a Sergio Leone western. We can almost hear the loping stallions and steaming locomotives. Worn by the protagonists of course. Both Conceria Puccini and Conceria Dingo are from Pisa, in Tuscany located just 5km from each other, a region especially known for its Vegetable-tanned leather in Italy. The looks are as rugged as the pack, this one is for life.
The pack is made exclusively from dense, strong surface grain of bovine leather that is hard as armor. No wonder this stuff has been used for over a century as protective clothing by racers and motorcyclists. And as body armor since at least the beginning of recorded human history.
The Fold Top is our most popular product and it turns heads wherever we go. As a product that lasts a lifetime, it is an investment that only gets better, more sustainable, and affordable with time. Stylish for city use. Sturdy for forest hiking. Easily big enough for a weekend trip. Compact to carry on as cabin luggage. Its ergonomics are designed to keep it comfortable even after full days of carrying heavier loads. It might just be the last backpack you’ll ever need.
A detachable computer sleeve is included. The sleeve attaches only at the top to let the bag conform to the shape of your back. It also works as padding when the bag is packed full. The bag has six external attachment points for external gear like camera tripods, fishing rods, or camping gear.
One outer pocket for smaller items.
