Over 90 years ago in a small town in Holland, a leather craftman embarked on a path that would make him design one of the world’s most emblematic satchel.
Handcrafted using techniques pioneered by Jacob de Ruiter, this satchel is cut from robust vegetable-tanned oiled leather.
Only the interaction of the hide with mimosa, quebracho and chestnut barks delivers the deep natural colour of our vintage leather.
Rich in character, it will develop an exceptional patina over time.
To honor this leather, we combine a strong stitch with an incredibly durable thread. A technique developed in-house, exclusively for your Ruitertassen.
Open the flap with the heavy-duty push locks hidden behind the pair of adjustable buckles.
Beneath, you will find an unlined generous dual-compartment interior and large front pockets to organise your essentials.
Store confidential documents in the divider zippered pocket.
You can carry this satchel three ways: over the shoulder, by the handle or as a backpack for hands-free commuting.
This timeless piece embodies the rich character of our heritage.
You can personalise your leather satchel with your name, personal motto or a logo to make it completely unique.
