Bear Design green leather backpack

Bear Design is an established brand originating from the Netherlands, specialized in handcrafted leather goods. Founded in the early 1990s, the company has built a reputation for its distinctive 'raw' and authentic leather look, focusing on durability and timeless style.

While the brand management, design, and distribution are centered in the Netherlands, the actual manufacturing of the products takes place in partner workshops in India. These workshops are often small-scale, focusing on traditional leather processing techniques that give the product its characteristic appearance. The brand remains the property of its original founders and operates as an independent private company without being part of a larger global conglomerate. This structure allows them to maintain strict control over their materials and ethical production standards.
