YKRA (pronounced eek-rah) is a brand that was founded in 2011 by designer Balázs Lakatos with the goal of creating vintage-style hiking backpacks for everyday use. Inspired by mountaineering gear from the '70s, YKRA backpacks are handcrafted in Hungary using premium natural materials. The brand uses a thick and durable cotton canvas originally made for tents, giving their products a look and feel of a bygone era.

YKRA is committed to sustainability, using natural materials that decompose at the end of their life cycle without harming the planet. They source high-quality leather from Italy, cotton canvas from the Czech Republic, and their metal accessories and webbing are made in Hungary. Their products are made using traditional manufacturing methods, ensuring long-lasting quality.

YKRA is known for its unique limited edition collections and has collaborated with renowned fashion designers and popular brands. Today, the brand is led by CEO Eszter Lebó and operates from Budapest, where they design their products and manage day-to-day operations.
