The young company—founded in 2017 by two friends who were struggling to find a lightweight bag that was stylish yet functional—seeks to bridge the gap in the market that leave many of us with the same dilemma.

The capsule ’17 and S/S ’18 collection is made up of five styles: the K1 Backpack, Kangaroo Tote, Circle 3-Way Backpack, Dino Carryall, and Everywhere Duffle.

Exuding a casual and free aesthetic without losing the all-important notion of luxury, these Instagrammable pieces fit your fast-paced, urban lifestyle to perfection.
Designed for everyday use, the K1 is versatile with individual compartments designed for going to work, traveling, and hitting the gym, whilst the half circle design on the lower pocket is an iconic motif for the brand.
