Those plain-speaking Swedes, eh? There's none of this naming your products after meteorological phenomena or obscure peaks in the Cascades. Call a spade a spade – or in this case, an Everyday Rucksack. Engineered for daily use, but certainly not bog-standard in terms of design or quality, this streamlined daypack from Sandqvist has a 17.5-litre capacity that's perfect for your work essentials – complete with a laptop compartment, an inner zip pocket and two outer zip pockets. They've gone for the classic drawstring and snap-flap closure, and the fabric is a rugged, 100% recycled polyester weave that's durable and water-resistant
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.
