Tech Leather Backpack - Black/Gold

At HIDES, we craft premium leather goods using full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather, sourced as a byproduct of the meat industry. Unlike chrome tanning, vegetable tanning is a natural, eco-friendly process that leaves no harmful waste. We proudly partner with expert artisans from Canada to Pakistan, ensuring top-quality craftsmanship.

From bags to jackets to accessories, our leather is designed to be used, abused, and last a lifetime. Plus, nothing is made in China—every product is built with care and integrity.

With 30 years of family expertise in leather, HIDES launched in 2015 to offer heirloom-quality, personalizable pieces that last a lifetime. Our products are crafted in limited batches, ensuring exclusivity and attention to detail. Featuring extensive interior organization, hidden pockets, and expandable travel-friendly designs, HIDES stands out for its rugged yet classic style. With 5,000+ 5-star reviews, our commitment to quality speaks for itself.

Yes, we believe in making a positive impact. We’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every product sold, helping to offset our carbon footprint. We’re committed to giving back and making a difference with every item sold.

Our leather is designed to be treated rough—used and abused—its true beauty comes out as it ages and develops a rich patina. Don’t worry about tossing your bag in the trunk or on the floor; it only gets better with use.

If you'd like to be proactive in the aging process, use leather lotion and protectors. Clean your leather with a soft, damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep it in top condition.

Our leather is naturally water-resistant, but it is not fully waterproof. While it can withstand light moisture or rain, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water. If your leather gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally and apply a leather conditioner to restore its natural oils.
