Some days call for a backpack, others demand a tote – and yet there are only so many bags you can reasonably own (in our case that is A LOT, but still…). The Ground 2-Way Bag from Sandqvist solves this modern dilemma by seamlessly switching between both modes. The clean, minimalist design looks equally at home in professional settings as it does on weekend errands, while the concealed shoulder straps mean you can go from boardroom-appropriate tote to hands-free backpack in seconds. At 17 litres, it's perfectly sized for daily essentials without becoming unwieldy. The dedicated laptop pocket fits devices up to 16 inches and keeps your tech safely separated from everything else, while the outer zip pocket gives you quick access to the items you need most. Built from water-resistant recycled polyester, it handles unpredictable weather and urban life's inevitable knocks with typical Scandinavian practicality.
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.
