Trakke Waxed Canvas Bags and Accessories
Made in Britain, built for life. Every Trakke bag is handmade from weatherproof waxed canvas - a fabric that shrugs off the rain, softens with age, and tells the story of every journey you take. These are bags designed to be carried every day and cherished for years.
The Craft of Carry
From rugged backpacks to messenger bags and versatile slings, each piece is packed with practical details to keep you organised on the move. Padded laptop sleeves, stash pockets, quick-access compartments - all finished with premium hardware that’s made to last.
Sustainability isn’t a slogan here. Waxed canvas can be reproofed again and again, extending the life of your bag, while our no-fuss lifetime guarantee means we’ll repair it if anything goes wrong. Fewer throwaway bags. More trusted companions for work, travel, and adventure.
Why waxed canvas?
Waxed Canvas is exceptionally durable, capable of withstanding the elements and the test of time. Its water-resistant properties make it ideal for outdoor adventures or urban commutes. Waxed Canvas develops a unique, attractive patina over time, blending classic aesthetics with modern style.
But it's not just about looks; it's about utility. With ample storage, our well-organised compartments, and comfortable wear, a waxed canvas backpack is the epitome of a functional, versatile, and stylish everyday carry.
Handmade in Britain
Take a look at our range of Water Resistant, Waxed Canvas Backpacks and accessories. All using our high quality Scottish Wax Coated Canvas in our special Dry-Finish. Our range of Backpacks and Messenger Bags feature everything you'll need for daily life: comfortable shoulder straps, space for your laptop and more.
Guaranteed for life
Our no-fuss lifetime guarantee ensures that any defects in workmanship or materials will be repaired for free. We are proud of the products we’ve built, and even prouder of keeping them in service as long as possible. When you purchase a Trakke bag you are investing into a travelling companion.
Our repairs program is one of the ways that we attempt to lower our impact on the environment. The vast majority of the carbon footprint of a bag is created by us, right here, at the manufacturing stage - so it’s our responsibility to make sure that the carbon investment we make in each bag is worthwhile. We have to build things to last - and crucially, we have to look after them throughout their lifetime.
