Materials

The GreyFox Backpack is created from Scottish Tweed from the Lovat Mill in Hawick, Roxburghshire, a town that lies on the Teviot River, a tributary of the Tweed, and which is world-famous for its mills producing fine knitwear and fabrics. This cloth is very tough and yet unexpectedly soft, with a close grain that easily shrugs off abrasion. We’ve teamed the tweed with our iconic Aztec Crazyhorse leather – a perfect match in both colour and resilience.


The bag is lined in velvety-soft “Guard’s Red” Alcantara microsuede to lend both cheer and textural contrast to the tough exterior. Built to last, this rucksack will soften and mellow as it accompanies you on your travels.

Delivery:

We aim to dispatch all orders swiftly and in-stock items will usually be dispatched within one business day. However, please bear in mind that we handcraft all our products here at Tusting HQ and intentionally hold low volumes of finished stock.

If there will be a delay of more a week before dispatch, we'll be in touch to ask if this may be a problem for you. Please allow for extra time if you have asked for your item to be personalised.

We ship everything by express service. Orders sent within the UK should arrive on the day after dispatch, except for outlying areas, and orders sent overseas will usually arrive within a week of dispatch – often much faster.

FROM THE FOX

As a lover of everything British-made, it’s a real privilege to have worked with Tusting on this backpack. It started some time ago when I visited their factory and spotted a gorgeous heavy tweed in their archive. Made by Lovat Mill of Scotland it was designed as an extremely robust tweed whose high twist yarn construction provides natural water resistance, making it perfect for its original intended use for outdoor and country activities.

After some discussion, and a couple of sample iterations, a final prototype backpack was made, and I have used it extensively for over two years to ensure that every detail of practicality, construction, comfort and robustness was just right. Packed with useful pockets and compartments, this is a well-tried and comfortable backpack which I’ve deployed for everything from business trips to country dog walks and which has stood up perfectly to everything.

BESPOKE & PERSONALISATION

All Tusting bags are hand-crafted in our Lavendon workshop. By special order, we can make your bag even more unique by personalising it, or we can create a bespoke colourway from our set of leathers. So whether it is a personalised message inside the bag, embossed initials or a special colour combination, don’t hesitate to contact us.
