The Story
Parktown Leather Backpack
Parktown was one of Johannesburg’s first suburbs, established during the gold rush era. It is famous for its grand, historic mansions built by the Randlords—the city's early mining magnates. Today, while a modern and vibrant area, Parktown retains its deep connection to this elegant past. This backpack is inspired by that legacy, blending a rich sense of tradition with a forward-looking, contemporary design.
