Taking inspiration from vintage military and climbing rucksacks of the 30s & 40s, Vasco has produced the VS-204L Type II a paired back simplified version of its predecessor. Priding themselves on sourcing the best leather from all over the world, Vasco have chosen a superbly characterful, full-grain leather from the Japanese tanning capital of Himeji which upholds traditional methods of tanning.
Fully veg-tanned, the leather is finished in by hand in a technique known as 'hill-dyeing' producing a rich depth of colour and highlighting the natural beauty and characteristics of the hide. Canvas lined with one internal pouch, the rucksack features a unique zip entry from the back, making quick access easy.
The top is secured with a leather drawstring as well as two buckles and front features a small buckle pouch and leather shoulder straps are back with soft felt for added padding and comfort. This bag is as sturdy as they come and with use will gain more and more character building up a well-loved, broken-in patina.
