At Walter Leather, our passion for design is deeply rooted in the legacy of motorsport — the era when driving was an art, and every detail carried meaning. The Carrera Classic was born from this spirit. More than just a travel bag, it is a carefully crafted companion designed to honor the golden age of automotive style while serving the needs of modern-day enthusiasts.
The Inspiration Behind the Name
The name Carrera Classic draws from one of the most revered names in motorsport history — “Carrera,” meaning "race" in Spanish, and famously associated with the legendary Porsche Carrera models. These vehicles embodied performance, elegance, and endurance — values we wanted to translate into a travel piece. Just like the cars that inspired it, the Carrera Classic is built for movement, presence, and timeless appeal.
About the Pepita (Houndstooth) Pattern
The houndstooth pattern, also known as “Pepita,” dates back to the Scottish Lowlands in the 1800s, where it was originally woven in wool. It became iconic in the automotive world during the 1960s when Porsche introduced it as an interior fabric in models like the 911 and 356 — blending bold visual character with refined motorsport elegance.
A Modern Essential, Built for the Journey
The Carrera Classic was designed with versatility in mind. Whether you're carrying a laptop and coffee mug to work, packing for a weekend drive up the coast, or attending a concours event, this bag is equally at home. It’s compact enough for daily use yet spacious enough for travel — a true weekender with purpose.
Each bag features a 100% cowhide leather exterior in refined hues like Café Oscura (dark brown) and Negra Oscura (deep black), paired with an interior built for functionality: two zippered pockets and an open leather pocket for organizing your essentials.
Limited Production – Unlimited Style
True to our philosophy, the Carrera Classic is produced in limited numbers. Each piece is handcrafted one by one, ensuring not just quality, but individuality. We believe in preserving exclusivity — just like the cars that inspired us, not everyone will have one, and that’s the point.
We’re committed to keeping the Carrera Classic as a lasting tribute — a timeless essential that blends heritage with function, design with story.
