Named – we assume – after the famous 17th-century English poet, the Milton is Sandqvist's take on the weekender duffel. This Stockholm-based brand specialises in stylish, pared-back design, and the Milton is no exception. Crafted in water-resistant 100% recycled polyester with leather details, it's all about clean lines and streamlined good looks. The 30-litre capacity is perfect for overnighters or weekends away, and is compact enough to work as cabin baggage. You've got convenient zip and slip pockets both inside and outside for keeping your travel essentials within easy reach, while side compression straps will make sure everything's trimmed in for space-saving storage. You can carry it using the adjustable shoulder strap or the webbing grab handles. Designed for style and versatility, built to last
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.
