TURA

Even if it’s just a trip to the office, the TURA deer leather backpack cuts a fine figure wherever it goes. It fits a laptop and binders as well as binoculars and a swimming trunks and towel or the contents from a long and exhausting shopping trip.

TURA is made of 100% vegetable-tanned Swiss red deer leather. This most natural of all leathers is tanned in the canton of Bern without heavy metals or synthetic chemicals. From this, a puristic, stylish quality backpack is created in a small Allgäu leather manufactory. Well thought-out and tried-and-tested functionality with a laptop compartment on the back, a small outer side pocket for the phone, a discreet magnetic closure on the flap and adjustable shoulder straps. Naturally padded with Swiss sheep’s wool for high wearing comfort.

A durable companion for business, travel and all other tours through life.

TURA lives through its wildness. For wild red deer defy wind and weather, fight with rivals and scratch themselves on thorns. Their skin therefore has scuffs, scratches and abrasions. These stand out in the leather and give each Tura a unique look. A daypack for people with style and the courage to make a conscious statement
