Introducing the Hinterland Collection
The word Hinterland comes from German, meaning “the land behind.” It refers to remote, less-explored areas that lie beyond towns and valleys - landscapes shaped by natural textures, earthy tones, and a calm, rugged simplicity.
This idea is at the heart of our new Hinterland Collection. Inspired by untamed places, it captures the feeling of stepping off the beaten path and into quieter, more grounding spaces. Places where the air feels clearer, colours feel deeper, and time moves differently.
The Difference Between Hinterland & Our Core Range
At Alpine Paws, our core range is designed to be versatile - timeless, everyday pieces you can rely on wherever you go. Clean, functional, and practical, they’re built to move seamlessly from morning walks in the park to afternoons in the city and everything in between.
The Hinterland Collection takes a different path. It leans into the textures and tones of the outdoors, with designs that feel rooted in wild landscapes. This range is about capturing the rugged beauty of nature and translating it into purposeful gear that reflects that environment - built for those who feel at home exploring trails, woods, and open spaces.
The First Piece: The Altitude Lead
The debut release from the collection is the Altitude Lead - a piece that balances practical performance with thoughtful details:
Reflective weave for visibility on dark autumn mornings, evening walks, or low-light hikes
Secure locking carabiner for peace of mind on any terrain
Leather strap with popper closures to keep the lead neat when stored
A considered 1m length that avoids dragging through mud and keeps walks comfortable
The Altitude Lead is available in four colours inspired by the natural world:
Timber – a deep, grounding brown
Ember – a bold orange reminiscent of firelight
Spruce – a rich green drawn from evergreen forests
Dune – a soft yellow-cream echoing sand and light stone
What’s Ahead
The Altitude Lead is only the beginning. The Hinterland Collection will grow with more pieces shaped by the outdoors - each one designed with the same care and function as our core range, but carrying its own distinct character drawn from natural textures and tones.
