Some designs earn their place through years of loyal use. They become trusted companions on daily commutes, weekend escapes, and journeys across the world. The Hillary Backpack is one of those designs.
For years, our canvas Hillary Backpack has been a favourite among the Sandstorm community. Appreciated for its practicality, comfort, and timeless silhouette, it has accompanied thousands of adventures while becoming one of our most recognizable pieces.
Today, we're proud to introduce the next chapter in its story.
Meet the Leather Hillary Backpack
Crafted from premium full-grain leather, the Leather Hillary Backpack takes everything you love about the original and elevates it with a refined, enduring finish. It is designed for those who appreciate the warmth, character, and longevity that only genuine leather can offer.
Every detail has been thoughtfully considered—from the structured silhouette and carefully finished edges to the premium hardware and expertly handcrafted construction. The result is a backpack that feels equally at home in the office, at the airport, or exploring a new city.
Designed to Last a Lifetime
Unlike materials that wear out with time, full-grain leather develops a rich patina, becoming more distinctive with every journey. Every crease, mark, and subtle change in tone tells the story of where you've been and reflects a life well travelled.
At Sandstorm, we believe the best products are not replaced—they are lived in, cared for, and passed on. The Leather Hillary Backpack was created with that philosophy in mind.
Function Meets Timeless Style
The Leather Hillary Backpack offers the same practical functionality that made the original so popular, now wrapped in a sophisticated leather exterior. With thoughtfully designed compartments, comfortable shoulder straps, and ample space for your daily essentials, it seamlessly blends style with purpose.
Whether you're commuting to work, travelling for business, heading to campus, or setting off for a weekend adventure, it's designed to move effortlessly with you.
Handcrafted in Kenya
Every Leather Hillary Backpack is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Kenya using carefully selected full-grain leather. Behind every stitch is a commitment to quality craftsmanship, ethical production, and the preservation of traditional leatherworking skills.
When you choose the Leather Hillary Backpack, you're investing in more than a backpack—you're investing in craftsmanship, heritage, and a product made to accompany you for years to come.
The Evolution of a Classic
The Hillary Backpack has always embodied simplicity, durability, and thoughtful design. Its evolution into leather is a natural progression—one that honours the original while offering a new level of elegance and longevity.
The canvas version remains a trusted favourite for everyday versatility, while the Leather Hillary Backpack offers a premium interpretation for those seeking timeless sophistication.
Two materials. One iconic design. Countless journeys ahead.
