At Casström Sweden, we believe that the best outdoor gear connects us to tradition — to timeless materials, skilled craftsmanship, and the generations of explorers and herders who came before us. Two of our most-loved leather items — the Lapland Bag and the Possibles Pouch — each carry a rich story of utility, sustainability, and craftsmanship.

The Sámi Tradition: Reindeer Leather Coffee Bag
In the far north of Scandinavia, the Sámi people have long relied on reindeer leather for its strength, softness, and ability to withstand harsh northern climates. Traditionally, small coffee bags made from reindeer leather were used to carry essentials like coffee, salt, or tinder, whether packed into a sled or hung by the campfire. Our Casström Lapland Bag continues this tradition of practical design and sustainable craftsmanship.
Each bag is made from ethically sourced reindeer leather, a by-product of the Sámi herding cull, ensuring that no material goes to waste. The leather is supple yet durable, designed to age beautifully and develop a natural patina with use. It’s ideal for storing coffee, dry tinder, spices, or other small bushcraft essentials — a perfect blend of heritage and modern outdoor functionality.

From the Frontier: The Leather Possibles Pouch
Across the Atlantic, during the age of exploration, frontiersmen and trappers carried a small leather bag known as a “possibles pouch” — so named because it held anything a person might possibly need on the trail. From flint and steel, musket balls, to tobacco and salt boxes and sewing kits, this versatile pouch was an essential part of frontier life.
Our Casström Leather Possibles Pouch draws inspiration from that time. Made from vegetable-tanned cowhide — sustainable leathergoods crafted from hides that are a by-product of the European meat and dairy industries. The leather is tanned at one of Europe’s oldest tanneries using plant-based tanning methods, which are better for the environment and for the skilled artisans who work the leather.
Compact and durable, the Possibles Pouch is the perfect size for a 2oz tobacco tin, an Altoids tin, batteries, snack bars, or firelighting tools, to name a few examples. Designed for outdoor adventurers, bushcrafters, and anyone who appreciates functional, handcrafted leather goods.
Sustainable Craftsmanship, Inspired by Tradition
Both the Lapland Bag and the Possibles Pouch are crafted with care and purpose — connecting heritage materials with modern outdoor life. They embody Casström’s commitment to sustainable leather, robust craftsmanship, and the timeless spirit of adventure.
Whether you’re brewing camp coffee in the wild or packing essentials for a woodland trek, these small yet purposeful accessories are built to last a lifetime — and to tell a story of where you’ve been.
