We are a young company and are very focused on sustainable growth. In order to guarantee top class quality, we currently only produce small numbers of our backpacks. Therefore, it might be possible that your “favourite” of our products is sold out. If you write us at service@fitzandhuxley.com, we can let you know when it is back in stock.

Leather is a high quality natural product. Irregularities in colour and structure are part of the natural state of leather and are a typical sign of quality and authenticity. Your backpack is therefore genuinely unique! For this reason, your backpack may differ slightly from the product photos on our website. However, as part of our quality assurance process, we ensure that these deviations are only minimal.

We offer our bags in different sizes, so everyone can find the perfect fit. To make it easier to compare the sizes, we have created a size guide to help you in your decision to find the right bag for you.

Fitz & Huxley only uses naturally produced leather materials. Your backpack is therefore a natural product that will continue to develop its appeal over the course of its life-time.You find all information on how to take  care of your products best here.

We work with a growing network of retailers where you can find our products. Check our Store Locator to find a store near you. Of course you can also just order your favourite model online and send it back within 14 days (right of cancellation) without any issues, in case you don’t like something about it.

Since our foundation, our products have been an alternative to "fast fashion". With our bags and backpacks we strive for the perfect balance of style, functionality and sustainability. In addition, we always make sure that our company processes from production to marketing are as efficient as possible, do not cause any unnecessary costs, and enables us therefore to offer you good value for money. That's why we haven't increased our prices since our foundation in 2015 - but unfortunately there was no other choice now. And we hope you will understand.

Covid was a turning point for all of us and caused transport costs in particular to explode. To transport our products from India to Germany, we pay three to four times more than before the pandemic. Transports are delayed because ships cannot load or unload on schedule, making the high demand – especially for the new OCEAN line made from recycled ocean bound plastic – even more of a challenge for us.

In addition, there are increased material and labor costs: the costs for the materials that we buy to manufacture our products have increased continuously over the past five years and have increased significantly again in 2022. So that we now pay about 25% more for these raw materials. Furthermore, our Fitz & Huxley team in India and Germany is also struggling with rising food and energy prices, which is why we increased their salaries in the course of this development. As a relatively small company, we could no longer bear these additional costs without adjusting our prices.

After a two-week announcement period during which you could still buy at the old prices, we have increased prices by a moderate 8% on average. We hope you understand.
