Little and lightweight version of a KAVU classic
Good things come in small packages. The Mini Rope Sack from KAVU has all the features of their bestselling Rope Sack, but it’s slightly more compact and is constructed in a 5oz nylon fabric that’s a lot lighter than their standard heavy cotton canvas. With two roomy zip pockets and a couple of external pockets for smaller items like phones or wallets, this casual-looking sling bag is the perfect companion for a day out where you just need a bit more stuff than you can fit in your pockets. The bound rope strap is comfortable over your shoulder, and the lightweight nylon is also water-resistant – so it’s not the end of the world if the heavens open.

Now here’s an origin story for you. Back in the early nineties, fishing boat skipper Barry Barr was fed up with wearing cheap trucker caps that got snatched off his head in storms, never to be seen again. He decided to make a super-durable cap that wouldn’t blow off whatever the weather, and he did it by stitching the webbing material from a Teva sandal all the way around the crown. Turned out his ‘Strapcap’ was a hit, and KAVU was born.
From humble beginnings flogging Strapcaps out of the boot of his car in Seattle, Barry’s since expanded to produce a whole array of durable outdoor kit with a laid-back, van-lifer vibe. The KAVU range takes in everything from sling bags to swim shorts, and while they’re serious about producing great gear that’s made to last, they’re also not afraid to have a laugh. Their prints are bold, playful, and in some cases so loud that they’ll take some considerable chutzpah to carry off – but that’s what makes them so much fun.
