The Iso-Kraaseli backpack is made of vegetable-tanned leather, giving a classic design a stunning look! Under the flap is a zipper to secure the main compartment. Inside, there's a zippered side pocket and open pockets. There's also a zippered pocket on the back of the backpack, perfect for keys or other small items. The shoulder straps are infinitely adjustable. The backpack is unlined, but the material is very sturdy. Therefore, the Iso-Kraaseli is also an excellent work bag.
Iso-Kraaseli is an island in the Raahe archipelago. The island features an old lighthouse built in 1852, as well as a pilot's house. The Iso-Kraaseli backpack was inspired by the idea of pilot crews who, with their provisions in their backpacks, would travel from the mainland to the island to guide ships from Raahe to the world's oceans and back to their home port. Considering the needs of today's pilot, the backpack also fits a small laptop. This is the black Iso-Kraaseli.backpackSuitable in style for both men and women!
Bio-leather, or leather tanned with biodegradable vegetable oils, is a natural and ecological alternative. Vegetable tanning is a method of leather production that has been practiced for thousands of years. Today, leather is tanned with water-soluble vegetable oils and tannins derived from trees. A color paste made from biodegradable vegetable oils and tannins is rubbed by hand onto the leather hide, making each hide unique. This also makes each bag unique.
The surface of the leather develops a beautiful patina, showing the marks and lines of life that come with the years. Scratches and lines that appear with use can be smoothed out slightly by rubbing them with your fingertips. The natural oils from your skin act as a smoothing agent.
Bio-leather is initially a little stiff, but it softens with use to become comfortable. Bio-leather is generally more expensive than chrome-tanned leather because the vegetable tanning process is largely handcrafted and takes about two months. Vegetable-tanned leather is a more ecological, durable and higher quality option, and it only gets better with use. Due to its durability, it offers good value for money and is a classic that never goes out of style.
