It keeps a record of every trip

Crazy horse leather is oil-tanned full grain. Every shower and every year on your back darkens and softens it a little more. Small marks rub out with your thumb, and the rest becomes the character of your rucksack.

The waxed canvas does the same: it softens to the shape of your back, and a little canvas wax every few years keeps it shrugging off the rain.

Questions about the ASHEVILLE

How big is the ASHEVILLE?

It measures 17.7" × 13.8" × 5.9" (45 × 35 × 15 cm) and holds 23 liters. That is enough for a weekend, a 15.6" laptop, A4 papers and everything you need for a city break.

Does a laptop fit?

Yes. A padded sleeve takes laptops up to 15.6". It sits against your back, so your laptop stays protected on the commute and on the road.

Is it a men's or a women's rucksack?

Both. The clean retro shape and the three natural colors suit men and women alike.

What is it made of?

The body is waxed cotton canvas, water-repellent and strong. The flap, handle and straps are crazy horse leather, an oiled full-grain leather that gains a patina over time.

Is waxed canvas waterproof?

It is water-repellent and handles a shower without trouble. In heavy, steady rain, keep it covered. Thanks to the wax it does not need a rain cover.

Does it have an anti-theft pocket?

Yes. A hidden zip pocket on the back sits against your body. Your phone, passport and wallet stay safe when it gets busy.

How do I look after the leather?

Wipe it with a dry cloth now and then. Small scuffs are part of this leather's character and usually disappear when you rub them with your thumb.

The quality of my Neil Parker bag is unparalleled. The leather is incredibly soft and the attention to detail is impressive. Whether I'm at the office or out for dinner in Boston, it adds a touch of elegance to my look.

Connor O.

Ordered on a Monday and it was on my doorstep in Columbus by Thursday, beautifully wrapped with a handwritten note from Neil. The leather feels rich and authentic straight out of the packaging, and the design is both practical and stylish. You can tell this was made with care.

Matthew R.

Neil Parker bags perfectly combine style and functionality. The design is sleek and the compartments are well thought out; my laptop and notebooks fit with room to spare. A luxury item, but also practical for everyday use.

Kevin W.

What sets my Neil Parker bag apart is its versatility. Whether it's a business meeting in New York or a weekend away, it adapts to any occasion effortlessly. The leather ages beautifully, making it an investment I'll cherish for years.

Oliver T.

I bought this for my husband's birthday and it arrived in Toronto beautifully wrapped, with a handwritten note from Neil. The leather is gorgeous and the stitching is perfect. A week in, I'm already borrowing it more than he does.
