Cleave Backpack - 30L

Rooted Ocean

£165

The Cleave is our best selling bag to date! Timelessly styed two-tone exterior, and practicalities like external bottle pockets, internal laptop and document pockets all with a clean roll-top opening, fastened by a heavy duty metal buckle, the Cleave Backpack is built to last. Made from heavyweight dry waxed cotton canvas, to allow for a superior water repellent finish but odour free and dry to touch unlike a traditional waxed canvas. Doubled up with a thinner but also dry waxed cotton liner, it is equally as repellent as the exterior and sure to keep all your gear dry whatever the occasion. T

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ROOTED OCEAN LTD, number 13789681. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
