Travel Bags & Backpacks

Travel bags for short trips, weekend getaways, daily commuting, and carry-on travel. The range includes backpacks that open like suitcases, weekender bags with trolley sleeves, totes with anti-theft features, and a trolley backpack that rolls or carries. All made from water-repellent materials with recycled internal linings, designed in Melbourne.

The right travel bag depends on the trip. A weekender bag handles overnight and short breaks with a padded laptop section and enough room for a few days of clothing. A travel backpack works for carry-on only trips where you want to skip checked luggage entirely. A tote gives you a larger open compartment for flexible packing. A trolley backpack lets you roll when the bag is heavy and carry when the terrain gets rough. Several bags in this collection include anti-theft features like RFID-blocking pockets, lockable zippers, and hidden compartments. For hands-free carry in a smaller format, check out crossbody bags

Choosing the right travel bag for how you move

Backpack vs weekender vs tote


A travel backpack distributes weight across both shoulders with padded straps and often a hip belt, making it the most comfortable option for long walking days, airport transfers, and carry-on only travel. The clamshell-opening backpacks in the range open flat like a suitcase, so you pack in layers rather than stuffing items down from the top. A weekender bag is the lighter, simpler option for short trips. It carries fewer items but weighs less, sits on top of a wheeled suitcase via a trolley sleeve, and works as a personal item on flights. A tote gives you the most open, accessible interior, good for travel days where you need to pull things in and out frequently. Each style works well with packing cubes to keep the interior organised.


When wheels make sense on a bag


A trolley backpack gives you the option to roll on flat surfaces and carry on rough ground, stairs, or cobblestones. The trade-off is weight. Wheels, a handle mechanism, and the reinforced base add to the bag itself, which means less weight allowance for what you pack. If your travel involves mostly airports and flat terrain, wheels save your shoulders. If you're moving across mixed surfaces, through train stations, or up and down stairs, a standard backpack is the lighter and more manoeuvrable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which travel bag works as carry-on luggage?
Most bags in this collection fit within standard airline carry-on limits (56 x 36 x 23cm, 115cm linear). The travel backpacks are sized for overhead bins. The weekender bags and totes typically qualify as a personal item that fits under the seat. Check the dimensions on each product page against your airline's specific limits before flying.
What is the best travel bag for a weekend trip?
A weekender bag is purpose-built for one to three night trips. It holds a few days of clothing, toiletries, and a laptop without being oversized. A trolley sleeve lets it sit on top of a wheeled suitcase if you're combining it with checked luggage. For a weekend trip where you want more structure and organisation, a travel backpack with a clamshell opening gives you suitcase-style packing in a bag you carry.
Do any of these travel bags have anti-theft features?
Yes. Several bags in this collection include RFID-blocking pockets, lockable zippers, and hidden compartments. The full range of [anti-theft bags] with slash-proof lining and steel cable straps is in the dedicated anti-theft collection. If security is your primary concern, start there.
Are these travel bags water-repellent?
Yes. The outer material on all bags in this collection is water-repellent, which handles rain showers and light splashes. The bags are not fully waterproof. In sustained heavy rain, water could seep through zippers and seams. For most travel conditions, the water-repellent treatment provides adequate protection.
