Wilderness ready backpack yearns for character building

Our Trapper range of waxed canvas bags is built for durability and adaptability, with a design inspired by the iconic frame packs of 19th-century fur trappers. The heart of this canvas backpack is a U-shaped frame made from 16oz beeswaxed cotton canvas, renowned for its water-repellent properties and toughness. Leather accents reinforce high-wear areas and help maintain the bag’s structure.

The Trapper backpack offers modularity, allowing for the addition of pouches and straps to enhance its carrying capacity. The inner bag, or Trap Sack, is removable and replaceable, so you can switch between different configurations for daily commuting or weekend getaways. It holds up to 16 liters for the backpack, or 12 liters for the sling version, providing ample storage for all your essentials. Cinch straps ensure it stays secure, compressing flat when not in use.

With multiple pockets, MOLLE webbing for attachments, and leather lash tabs for added carrying capacity, this Australian canvas bag is built to last a lifetime. Plus, it’s biodegradable and environmentally friendly, crafted with solid brass hardware and vegetable-tanned leather. This rugged bag is not just a canvas rucksack, it’s an heirloom piece designed to age beautifully while offering timeless functionality.

Old-School Materials Make The Difference

Water Repellent
but Breathable.

Traditional cotton twill that has been wax treated to repel water. Unlike manmade fibres such as nylon and polyester, waxed cotton breathes and ages with a leather-like patina.

Traditional Brass.
Old-school Patina.

Genuine solid brass hardware is rarely used because it's expensive. We say- hang the expense! Real brass is heavier than the fake alternatives and develops an authentic patina.

Genuine Leather.
Eco Clean.

Otherwise known as Vegetable Tanned Leather. It's genuine cow leather that is processed using traditional methods. It's more expensive and requires more time but it lasts up to 4 times longer.
