Hardware & Zippers

We take immense pride in the durability and quality of every single piece of gear we produce. We know that when you invest in a backpack, bag, or any other item, you expect it to last. That's why we go above and beyond to ensure that each product is constructed with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.

 

Let's start with the hardware. We use high-grade steel hardware that's not only strong but also beautifully finished with a matte black finish. This gives our gear a sleek, modern look while ensuring long-lasting durability. The steel we use varies depending on the specific needs of the product, but we currently work with stainless steel, solid brass, and copper—all known for their strength and resistance to wear.

 

When it comes to the leather details on our products, we don’t cut corners. We attach these details in a traditional, time-honored way that involves hand-setting solid copper rivets and burrs. This method creates a strong, permanent attachment that ensures your leather details won’t budge, no matter what you put your gear through. We believe in making products that stand the test of time, and this level of detail is just one example of that commitment.

 

One of the most critical components of any bag or backpack is the zipper. We all know how frustrating it can be when a zipper fails, effectively rendering the entire product useless. To prevent this, we only use Japanese brass zippers from YKK, a brand that's renowned globally for its superior quality. These zippers are not only smooth to operate, but they also boast impressive abrasion resistance and strength. With our gear, you can trust that your zipper will function flawlessly, time and time again, even after years of heavy use.

 

In every product we create, our goal is to combine timeless design with materials and craftsmanship that ensure you won’t have to replace your gear anytime soon. Whether you’re using one of our bags for daily commutes, outdoor adventures, or just as an everyday carry, you can trust that it’s been built to last. So, when you choose our gear, you're not just buying a product—you're investing in something that will serve you reliably for years to come.
