Description
History nerds, design lovers, and street-art geeks — gather ’round. This backpack isn’t just cool, it’s historic. The bold print comes from a manhole cover found in the old town of Budva, Montenegro — a relic from the Yugoslav era, proudly stamped with the name of the Serbian factory Leskovac.
Back when Montenegro and Serbia were one country (Yugoslavia), this sturdy cast-iron lid was just doing its job. Decades later, it’s been turned into wearable art. We used real paint and pressed fabric directly onto the original cover to capture all its rough texture and industrial charm.
It’s unique. It’s handmade. It’s probably the only backpack in your city with a sewer-related backstory — and that’s a win.
