Everything important. Thoughtfully carried.

Ithaga is the Kikuyu word for a food storehouse: a place where families kept what mattered. Our travel bag carries that idea forward, keeping your essentials discreetly organised and close at hand.

A place for every essential.

A garment compartment sits apart from the main cavity. Two dedicated shoe compartments keep footwear away from your belongings, with a space-conscious design that preserves room for the rest of your journey.

Character that travels with you.

Mahogany aniline leather develops a beautiful patina with use, revealing natural character and a richness that becomes your own. Also offered in wax pull-up leather.

Made to complement you.

Considered proportions, elegant lines and distinctive detail bring practicality and visual interest together. A companion that grows more personal with every journey.
