Judah joined the cool kids club when he became the proud owner of this Mini Rider Canvas Backpack from Chapel. It’s a classic, stylish bag that is just the right size if your kid is as independent as mine and wants to carry their own water bottle, a snack and a toy on their next adventure with you.

Here’s what Chapel have to say about their brand:

CHAPEL is the name in bag-making. Since 2009 we have been designing beautiful genuine leather and canvas bags at our studio in Woodstock, Cape Town. We design and manufacture every item in house so you can be sure our quality is of the highest standard. We use locally sourced 100% cotton canvas and genuine antelope leather. Our styles are current and classic. Much of what we design is informed by personal needs and we only sell what we are passionate about. Shop online for men’s and ladies bags or visit one of our four stores in Cape Town (Kloof Street, Watershed, Woodstock Exchange and Biscuit Mill).  PS. Feel free to swing past Woodstock Exchange and take a look in at our studio to see your bag being made.
