Cogimade cogimadeDare to do it your way.

Why I made it

I first made it for myself and later started offering it in my shop. It's named after the little backpack from my childhood that I took on walks in the woods with my grandad. In Czech, that's simply going on a 'vandr'.

What I learned

I learned how to shape the lining properly so it doesn't hang loose and baggy inside.
