We Build Bags to Be Used for Decades
We don’t follow trends. We choose materials that age beautifully, hardware that survives millions of cycles, and construction methods proven by mountaineers and military. The result is a bag you’ll hand down, not throw away.

Pack & Go
Where the Bags Are Born
Not a giant factory. A small workshop with 38 people who have been sewing our bags for the last seven years. Many of them sign the inside label of the bag they made.
Pattern & Cutting
Every piece is laser-cut to 0.1 mm accuracy. No shortcuts, no bulk cutting.
One Person, One Bag
The same seamstress builds your bag from start to finish and signs the label inside.
Checked Three Times
Three different people inspect every single bag before it’s allowed to leave. If something isn’t perfect — it doesn’t ship.
By the Numbers
zipper cycles tested
minimum water column
warranty on all bags
recycled or bio-based materials
A Bag Should Outlive
Your Passport
We don’t make fashion. We make tools that let you keep exploring long after others have replaced their bag twice.
