Most roll-top backpacks turn into a tunnel: everything goes in, nothing can be found. So the Toby — like its brother Alex — also opens from the back: flat on the bed, like a suitcase. Roll the top when you need room for an extra jacket; open the back door when you need your things.

Open it a little and the essentials are right there: your laptop in the padded flap sleeve (fits a 16″ MacBook Pro) and a zip for phone and wallet. Open it fully and you pack it like a little suitcase — packing-cube fans, this is your bag. At 20 litres it slides under the seat on EasyJet and Ryanair as free hand luggage.

Our frequent travellers keep reporting two things: it fits more than you think — the structure keeps everything where it should be — and because the main zipper sits against your back, nothing walks off in a crowded metro.

The Toby is the Alex’s modern twin: fully vegan (no leather details) with a metal buckle our customers keep calling sexy — we just say functional. A closed front pocket with a 3D opening your hand actually fits into, a secret pocket in the bottle compartment, a luggage pass-through for your trolley, padded straps and a chest strap.

About the light stripes in the fabric: that’s not damage — it’s the wax. The fabric (100% recycled PET bottles) has a wax finish that develops a patina, more visible on some colours than others; warm it up and it evens out.

It’s our absolute bestseller. Your name goes on the ID tag — and if it ever gets lost, our worldwide Lost&Found service brings it home.
