the Arden
Intensive design and discovery process.
The Arden backpack has undergone a 9-month intensive design and prototyping process with our principal designer to carefully select the right materials and purposefully build every component. We are incredibly proud of the finished product, and we think you will too.
Best-in-class materials.
We've chosen only the best British materials available to us - from the waxed cotton canvas to the zips. We did this because we want you to have the best experience when you use the Arden every day.
British Waxed
Cotton Canvas
By British Millerain
British Millerain is the global leader and original manufacturer of waxed cotton, founded in 1880 in Yorkshire, UK. These fabrics and their manufacturing processes have been fine-tuned for over six generations. Their 18oz waxed cotton canvas makes up the Arden’s integral structure.
Custom-milled
G hook
By Makefast Limited
Makefast is the UK's leading manufacturer of marine and safety products based in beautiful Mid Wales. Our G hook is custom-milled by Makefast's precision engineering team with marine-grade 316 stainless steel and then barrelled for 18 hours to smooth and polish.
Water Repellent
Reverse Zips
By YKK
YKK needs no introduction. The 1934 Japanese brand (Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikigaisha) is the global leader in zipper technology and manufacturing. It became clear to us during the design process that we wanted to partner with YKK to use their zips on the Arden.
