FEATURES + FUNCTIONS
MATERIALAND CRAFTSMANSHIP
The tradition of the finest leather craftsmanship for a camera bag with a timeless design that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the photo/video content
Fair, responsible production with an appropriate ecological footprint is essential for compagnon. The raw hides for the famous leather come from pastures in southern Germany, sometimes even directly from the home country. Complete stabling is not supported, so there are individual pores and certain irregularities in the leather that reflect the free life of the animals
All compagnon leathers are tanned by a small German manufactory according to family tradition, in a purely natural way, without the addition of chemicals for color or texture. The secret lies in craftsmanship and care
the natural tanning process works natural oils and waxes into the pores of the leather. These ensure that the leather provides this compagnon with reliable weather protection.
FEATURES OUTSIDE
compagnon fans not only love the amazing look and feel of the leather products, the protection for your equipment is also first class. The leather is weatherproof, robust, fully lined with shock-absorbing padding and, with a little care, will be your reliable companion for many, many years
The compagnon weekender models look timeless and classic, while modern and functional details are present but well concealed. The main flap can be closed in seconds thanks to magnets embedded in the leather. The flap automatically falls into the correct position and the premium YKK Duo Zipper slides easily and securely into position
The useful front pockets of the compagnon weekender models are protected from the elements by an integrated leather lip
The generous zipper pocket on the back of this compagnon extends across almost the entire width of the bag, so it not only offers plenty of storage space, but also practical, easy access
there is also a trolley holder on the back of the weekender + little weekender, which allows you to easily and securely attach your compagnon to your trolley case when traveling
The base of your weekender has solid metal feet which, in combination with the internally reinforced base plate, ensure that it stands securely at all times
The removable wide shoulder strap is lined with a high-strength and extremely durable military nylon fabric and a removable leather shoulder pad is included for your maximum comfort, which you can position as you wish
Even the most robust shoulder strap will not offer any security if the rings, carabiners or eyelets are not of high quality. The solid metal parts are not only extremely strong, but also offer additional surface protection, durability and a special look thanks to their gunmetal anodization
The zippers are also designed for many years of use, they come from YKK, the premium world market leader for sophisticated fasteners
A compagnon always offers 'passive theft protection', as it is not recognizable as a camera bag but always appears like an ordinary travel bag
FEATURES INSIDE
All-round padded main storage compartment for the safe, flexible transportation of your equipment
With 4 large padded dividers and 8 medium-sized dividers, supplemented by 8 Velcro leather straps for fastening, you can adapt the versatile storage space to any item you are carrying
The interior is always made of first-class Velcro velour from Germany. This creates an extremely strong bond with all Velcro parts and ensures an incomparably strong hold. In addition, far more detachments are possible than with conventional Velcro materials
The layout of the storage space also allows you to ideally segment just one part for photo equipment and use the remaining space for luggage
Additional padded laptop and tablet compartment up to 15" device size (from MBP 2019 also 16") with leather strap securing system
LEATHER + MATERIALS GEN III
NEW MODEL GENERATION III
The Gen III compagnons breaks new ground while retaining the beloved features of its predecessors. To combine enjoyment and genuine environmental awareness even more, compagnon is breaking new ground with the Generation III model. Compagnon has remained true to a purely natural tanning process, but the new compagnon leather is now traditionally barrel-tanned not far from the headquarters in southern Germany and extensively processed and finished by hand. The German rawhide now has more character right from the start and shows the natural surface of the leather more clearly, even when new. To achieve this, the 'pull-up' effect of the patina formation has been reduced. This means that your compagnon does not need a longer period of use to develop a color and structure full of character. This adjustment also makes the bag even more durable and resistant. To achieve these qualities of the new compagnon leather, no chemicals or harmful additives such as chrome are needed, just more manual work, more time and more passion. From now on, compagnon also offers better color stability so that the look of different compagnons of Generation III match each other as perfectly as possible. The feel of the compagnon leather has also been improved, resulting in a smoother yet very high-quality feel when worn and used.
The compagnon leather of Generation III is therefore not only a true, environmentally conscious companion in the first step, the production by hand using regional and traditional methods and raw materials, but also in the second step, thanks to its many years of durability.
In the final production of the new model generation, compagnon has also spared no effort to scrutinize the models and features that are appreciated worldwide and make them even better. For example, in order to prevent the fibers on the underside of some of the natural cowhides, the lid of the Generation III messenger models is now double-lined with leather, while the weekender models feature Velcro velour for additional practical applications. Solid metal parts with a vintage gunmetal anodized finish continue to be used, which can match the robustness of Generation III. The dimensions and divisions in the interior correspond to those of the predecessors, so it is still possible to add to all model generations and your equipment will fit into the latest models as usual.
The inconspicuous front fastener will continue to come from the German extreme sports innovation manufacturer Fidlock. It snaps into place magnetically and keeps the bag closed. A gentle pull downwards releases the latch silently and the bag can be opened without any additional effort. The laptop/tablet compartment still does not have a press stud solution. The Velcro strap also reduces the risk of fine scratches on your equipment and still keeps it reliably in place.
LEATHER, MANUFACTURING + ACCESSORIES
NATURAL COMPAGNON LEATHER
Natural manufacturing processes with tradition and regional partners have been an absolute must at compagnon for years. For summer 2022, compagnon is going a few steps further in terms of quality with its exclusive compagnon bull leather. A local, strictly natural tanning process is used to create a robust yet supple material for the bags and backpacks in the Heritage Line from selected German cowhides. Each hide, and therefore each bag, has an individual pore and structure that reflects the life of the animal. Absolute uniformity at the price of pure stable husbandry is not supported. A species-appropriate and natural life of the animals is at the center of a beautiful and equally natural raw material.
Compagnon leather is free from toxic and harmful additives and is therefore harmless to health, even when used intensively. No chemicals or harmful additives such as chrome are used. Thanks to the traditional handwork of the family tannery, compagnon achieves good color stability even without these additives, so that deviations in color tone between different raw hides are minimal and color nuances are very uniform. In Generation III, compagnon leather is an even more local, regional product that combines the know-how of small, medium-sized and family-run businesses from the region.
