In 1992, a young man sits hunched over his grandmother’s old sewing machine in a shed in Ballarat, Australia.

He tried to sew through a truck tarp to make a bag strong enough to carry a slab of beer home on his bike. Since then, Crumpler is born.

The principles behind Crumpler bags have remained the same – simplicity, a willingness to experiment, original design, and a determination to make the best bag possible for people who know how to live.
