Description

This Backpack Tsonga Toffee Leather made from a 100% South African Cow Leather with a multi colour tribal design cotton weave fabric on the front. Our Diesel Leather is buffed, coated in oil and then burned through an ironing press to achieve the effect. Once in use, the oil disperses into the hide, softening the leather from the inside out. This creates the two tone distress appearance as well as a soft velvet touch.

The Backpacks interior lined with a locally made fabric called Shweshwe. Shweshwe fabric is strong, durable and looks great inside. Our Backpack Tsonga Toffee Leather designed to minimise theft from pick pocketing. The Backpack also has a leather belt with antique brass buckle for extra closure. This Backpack also fitted with metal zips from YKK to protect belongings from falling out. As well as a hidden zip pocket on the back for your valuable items, like phone, wallet, keys etc. Not just another Backpack but a Backpack with a purpose. All NAVA Apparel bags are handmade by local South African craftswomen.
