FAQs

What is reclaimed leather?

Reclaimed leather is leather given a second life. It comes from a variety of sources, such as unused vintage furniture hides, offcuts from larger leather productions, or even old garments. These hides are then meticulously cleaned, conditioned, and sometimes even re-dyed to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind materials.

Another great purchase from a great company

I’ve been a Kovered fan since their early days, have several bags from them myself and have also bought several as presents. My work pattern has recently changed and I needed to swap out my trusty messenger for a backpack. This Tay is just the right size for me and has Kovered’s usual retro chic rugged style. It’s also very comfortable and of course hard wearing. My Kovered bags only get better with age, wear and patina, and over the years the product quality has stayed at its original very high standard. I’m really loving the Tay and I’m sure it will be making many memories with me and visiting many places as my messenger has.
I ordered it about 6 a.m. and it had been dispatched about two hours later! Thanks to Kovered for maintaining their great standards of product and service over the years.

Great quality - good packaging

Great bag - I particularly appreciate the attention to detail on the buckles and a zipper closing at the top of the roll-top to ensure it is totally secure.

Will return to make another purchase.

Quietly Thrilled

Finally I bought a Kovered product for myself . This is a beautifully crafted small rucksack for day walks and swimming trips . It is a rugged , yet elegant, product . Finished with simple robust clips and straps.
A design so well balanced I can hardly feel the weight of it when it’s on my back . A roomy interior and neat exterior with pockets for easy access to maps,water , phone and snacks .A treasure .

Great bag!

Love this bag! Spacious but not too large. Has few convenient pockets. My previous choice of bag wasn’t great, so I’m glad I gave it another go. Very happy with this model.

The Perfect Backpack

Just superb. Nothing else like this on the market. This is clearly a great quality bag that has been built to last. Looks fantastic, is made from natural materials - canvas and reclaimed leather - and includes a bottle holder (an essential in my opinion) I truly love it!

Good quality

It’s a really well made bag with durable materials. Just wish the side pockets (bottle holders) were a bit bigger.

Tay - Backpack

One of the best backpacks I’ve ever bought. Super quality materials and very well made. First use was on our recent trip to Kefalonia, and it more than measured up to beach, pool, town and touring use. My only thought about the design is that it would be useful for the laptop section could be removed to give one big container. Trying to find contents quickly when they may have dropped into what becomes two sections can be irritating. That being said, I find the inner pockets and the outer zip pockets really useful and handy. Kovered will certainly be my first stop for my next backpack.

Excellent Materials, excellent bag.

I am very pleased with my backpack, I wanted to buy something with zero plastic, and made from real traditional materials. The bags available on this website are all very stylish, but also practical and made from great materials. I highly rated this product and I am going to buy a bigger bag from here soon.

Excellent bag

The quality of the work and materials is astonishing, particularly for the price. It is also a very practical design, and the fittings are top notch. Combined with the fact that it is sustainably produced I have not found any similar product which can compete.

Excellent

This is my second kovered backpack. It is absolutely excellent, plenty of space inside (I can easily put inside laptop, books, chargers, pochette) and still have space. Furthermore, the materials are stunning. Highly recommended!

Almost Perfect

Never had to think so hard about buying a backpack before but after what felt like way too long trying to decide I went with the Tay to take with me on a 3 week trip to New Zealand. PROS are as follows: the build quality is 10/10 and it looks really nice. Served me well in many rainy, natural gas, foggy, snowy settings, everything inside stayed dry. I could fit both my MacBook and iPad, plus a headphones case and a book very easily. The storage is a huge plus. The straps are surprisingly comfortable every time I put it on. Critiques: in hindsight, there are a couple of things I wished it could do. 1. Be able to fit a drink bottle on the outside side compartments (which don’t stretch), it’ll fit a small one but I drink a lot of water, having to constantly fill up a bottle when you’re out all day isn’t ideal. I used the side compartments for a power bank and glasses case, which worked well for me but I was missing my drink bottle. 2. I wished the clips were adjustable in length, I knew they weren’t when I bought the bag but didn’t realise I’d miss that option. Not a huge let down though. 3. As much as I love the colour scheme, having the inner lining of the backpack being a lighter colour would be a huge plus, I was very often trying to find things inside that I couldn’t see because of the dark brown. Ultimately, it’s a very nice backpack and if those three things were changed then I’d buy another one and recommending it in a flash!
