Most roll-top backpacks turn into a tunnel: everything goes in, nothing can be found. So the Alex opens from the back as well — flat on the bed, like a suitcase — and the roll-top’s capacity stops costing you the organisation.Monday to Friday it’s a 20-litre commuter with a padded 16″ laptop compartment you reach from the back panel — at your desk, or at airport security, without unpacking. For the weekend it expands from the top; when it’s full, a jacket still goes under the roll.It fits under the airline seat — EasyJet and Ryanair count it as free hand luggage, so a trolley plus the Alex is the whole trip.The fabric looks and feels like cotton. It’s actually waterproof recycled polyester, made from PET bottles, with full-grain vegetable-tanned leather and brass details. On the back: a luggage pass-through and a hidden pocket for valuables. In front: quick access for keys and wallet, and a pocket for a half-litre water bottle.Your name goes on the ID tag — embossed, backed by our worldwide Lost&Found service. Lifetime warranty, like everything we make. Buy less, buy better.
