This 19oz tan cotton canvas was developed especially for us by legendary mill Halley Stevenson. The fabric is based on a vintage Swiss army Haversack. We were able to make 5 of these roll top backpacks
All Atelier de l’Armée bags are individually numbered and constructed from carefully selected materials. The distinct look of our materials can only be achieved by years of usage, therefore our bags may have stains, small repairs, erros, stamps or other natural wear. This is all part of our philosophy, it is what makes them special. Our bags are made by hand with great care for detail in our small workshop in Amsterdam. They are build to last and strong enough to hold all your belongings
When we found this deadstock roll of 1960’s original Swiss Army we couldn’t wait to create the most unique designs we could imagine. The Swiss Army is one of the nicest we have seen. It is so densely woven that this is completely water repellent. To create a more exclusive look we have chosen the Monogram-embossed PVC and finish the bag with the yellow details.

When Nigel Cabourn met the Atelier de l’Armée team back in 2013, Nigel was carrying his vintage Swiss army rucksack. With a shared passion for this amazing piece of equipment and the salt & pepper fabric it is built out of, we started talking about remaking this rucksack. After discussing we decided that we would only collaborate if we could source the original fabric to make it as close to the original as possible. Anything less wouldn’t be a tribute to the rucksack.Since it is highly unlikely to find a dead-stock roll of this 1960’s fabric we never thought the collab would actually happen. But after a year long search we were able to find a complete roll of selvage original Swiss army salt & pepper fabric and the collaboration was born: Nigel Cabourn x Atelier de l’Armée.
The Salt & Pepper fabric had a cotton base when it was developed by Swiss army during the late 1930’s, but as cotton became rare during the years of war, nettle fibre was combined with cotton. This mix created a very rugged, waterrepellent and durable fabric.
The backpack is made from deadstock vegetable natural tanned leather combined with the original 1930’s Salt & Pepper fabric. The lining is a water-repellen nylon. It’s fully lined and has 3 small inner pockets and a 15″ laptop pocket.
We were able to just make 5 unique items.
Handmade in The Netherlands.
