YKRA

The brand YKRA, pronounced 'eek-rah',  was founded by Balàzs Lakatos in the basement of a surf bar and Gallery in Budapest in 2011. With an admiration for nostalgia and the vintage apparel of the 70’s, YKRA began creating backpacks with a fresh vibe and colourful aesthetic. Using quality Cotton Canvas, each bag is handmade using traditional methods, by craftspeople in Hungary.

Since 2011 their backpacks have gained a cult status, many of their backpacks have travelled around the world on awesome adventures with their happy owners! YKRA really love what they do, and take great pride in their work. This is what makes their products unique and very special.

To care for your YKRA product, it is suggested that you wipe it clean only, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not wash.

YKRA products should be spot cleaned with a clean damp cloth when needed. These items should not be submersed in water as it may mark the canvas or the leather. The cotton canvas used is not waterproof and intense rain may damage your backpack, or contents. Therefore YKRA strongly suggest that you waterproof the canvas if you will be using this product in rainfall or damp environments. This can be done by using their Magic Beeswax, impregnating wax. The Leather details should be avoided when using wax. Please note, that we do not recommend to use the beeswax for white or natural color canvas as the natural yellowish color of the beeswax might discolour the product.
