Fun-size version of Sandqvist's popular daypack
The Ilon is a trimmed-down version of Sandqvist's flagship Bernt daypack – with all the same features but in a more compact 18-litre package. Chief among those features, of course, are the versatile roll-top closure and fantastic minimalist good looks. This is a pack that transitions seamlessly between the commute and the weekend – smart enough to wear with your work clothes and casual enough to take for a hike or a bike ride. And it doesn't skimp on features either. You've got a laptop compartment neatly concealed in the back panel, with direct access so you don't have to tip all your stuff out to get at your devices. Inside, the main compartment has a handy mesh pocket for your odds and ends, while the outside packs a large zip pocket. Constructed in durable recycled polyester, it's water resistant and comfortable to wear, with on-point details like leather accents and metal hardware

- Ethically Sourced Materials: Sandqvist is aggressively reducing the environmental impact of their products. This includes a commitment to only using organic cotton and synthetic materials containing recycled fibres. For leather, only hides treated in tanneries rated Gold or Silver by the Leather Working Group for their environmental status can be used. Also, only leather that is a by-product from the meat and dairy industry can be used.
Fusing the style and creative energy of the Stockholm archipelago with the hard-bitten adventure of the Scandinavian mountains, Sandqvist's beautiful packs are as Swedish as cinnamon buns and that funny cod roe in squeezy tubes.
Founded in 2004 by three childhood mates living in Stockholm, the idea was to create bags that weren't tied to a single environment. Razor-sharp minimalist design to look stylish in the city, teamed with technical features and fabrics to perform in the backcountry. We could all do with less stuff in our lives, and Sandqvist's versatile packs will take you from fika in Södermalm to a red-painted summer cabin in the forest – all while looking just about as Grammable as it gets.
These are bags designed to do more with less – and that carries through into the materials and manufacture too. The durable polyester and nylon fabrics are 100% recycled from post-consumer or industrial waste, and supply chains are regularly audited for working conditions and environmental impact. The leather is a by-product of high-welfare Scandinavian meat and dairy herds, processed by independently certified tanneries – and in some cases they also produce vegan versions of their packs.
Speaking as inveterate Scandophiles, we reckon Sandqvist’s packs are everything gear should be. Sustainable, functional, versatile, and seriously good-looking.
