Hunter Rucksack Brown

One of Bill Amberg’s enduring classic designs, the Hunter Rucksack is a ruggedly beautiful showcase of both the aesthetic and functional properties of leather. Crafted in the Bill Amberg workshops using hand-making techniques that have been practised for centuries, the bag is made from thick, vegetable-tanned drummed shoulder leather, making it both extremely durable and full of character. The natural oils in the hide itself help make it robust and water-resistant – this is a bag that will only look better the more you use it.

Closed with a leather drawstring and a brass press-fastener in the outer flap, the interior of the bag is lined with sturdy brown cotton drill. On the outside, two unlined open pockets under the flap provide a place to stash phones, stationery and other essential, easy-access items, and two buckle-adjusted straps can be used to hold a compact umbrella, pullover or picnic blanket. Fixings are in rust-resistant cast brass and all straps are fashioned from English bridle leather.
