If you haven't come across Bellroy before, their BIG THING is making bags that straddle the divide between work and play. The kind of smart, streamlined packs that look professional in the office, paired with comfort and functionality that'll perform for adventure travel and the outdoors. This 28-litre Transit backpack is one of their roomier offerings, and it's particularly well-suited for travel – whether that's for business, pleasure or both. They've thought about all those tedious airport checks, so you've got a quick-access 16" laptop compartment and external zip pockets for your passport, wallet and water bottle. And what's really cool is that for shorter trips, the Transit could be the only luggage you need. It opens right up like a clamshell for easy lay-flat packability, with internal compression straps to squash down bulkier items like clothes. A contoured back panel, padded shoulder straps and sternum strap mean that you can carry it in comfort even when it's fully loaded.
A slim, sophisticated profile, exceptional materials and an intelligent and considered design — if you were designing a wallet, we reckon those three criteria would be pretty high in your priorities. It’s also the exact same thought process that a collective of designers and craftsmen had in the early 00’s in Bells Beach, a small coastal town along Australia’s Great Ocean Road. After a few years of tinkering and perfecting their design — and a move to Melbourne’s trendy Fitzroy district — Bellroy was born; their impact on the everyday carry industry has been seismic.
Now a respected brand with a dedicated global following, Bellroy have expanded their range to include backpacks, passport holders, pouches and a whole slew of wallets, from zip-up coin pouches to premium leather models. Despite that growth, these Aussies are keeping their feet on the ground - Bellroy is a certified B Corp, striving to reduce their impact on the environment as much as possible. From travel folios and wash bags to everyday backpacks and wallets, Bellroy exists to provide the very best carry items - invariably, their fusion of considered design and premium materials means that their products are exactly that. The best.
