Mix-n-match straps

All bags have modular straps so they can be personalised and allow your bag to be worn as a shoulderbag and backpack.

Every detail counts

The Smol will fit tablets up to 25cm x 18cm (accounting for the lining and such) such as the 11" iPad Pro.

Apart from these devices it will fit your everyday necessities including phone, sunglasses, small notebook and passport etc.

Every bag now comes with a unique serial number and QR code digitally printed on a label inside the front pocket.

This allows you to view details about your bag such as the date it was made, a constantly updating cost-per-day and photos of your bag being made.

It also means if your bag is ever misplaced it is as easy as possible for someone to organise it's return through a form on the bags archive page.

Your bag is made to last - and a big part of this durability comes from using the highest quality zips.

The main zipper is a dual YKK #8 coil zipper, while all pockets use a slightly lighter weight YKK #5 zipper (shown)

As these are used in most quality bags this also means the sliders are easy to source anywhere in the world should they ever need to be replaced.

The space is perfect and everything has it's own place within easy access.

Really easy to follow and quick to use ordering process, great pictures of the bags and the fabric choices.

I like everything about my bag! It's the most perfect bag I've ever owned.

Also, the zips are so easy to use one-handed and slide effortlessly while being really strong.

Lifetime Guarantee

This is the distillation of my approach to design, materials and making developed over more than twenty years of sewing and selling bags.

Each and every bag is personally sewn in my studio with quality materials, components and construction techniques selected for durability, repairability and sustainability.

Quite simply I guarantee your bag is made for many many years of everyday use.

If in the unlikely event that any stitching or hardware should fail they'll be repaired free for life.

I respectfully acknowledge the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri peoples of Melbourne, the traditional custodians of this beautiful land on which I am lucky enough to live, work and create.
