Finally! A bag for today’s global traveller: A versatile companion to carry all of your essentials, and keep you happy and productive.
We’ve designed SOLO to meet the demands of today’s global traveler: this bag is a versatile travel system that will carry all of your business and personal essentials, allowing you to breeze through airports, and effortlessly transition between work and leisure time.
Whether you’re riding a Vespa along the Champs-Élysées, or walking into a client’s boardroom, you need a versatile travel system that adapts to any situation that can keep you moving, productive, and happy.
We wanted to help travellers save time and money. How many times have you had that awful feeling of dread when learning your airline lost or delayed your bags. Or perhaps fumbling to remove that laptop at the busy security gate. Or feeling infuriated after being charged that “extra handling” fee for checked bags.
As perennial travellers, we understand the challenges of navigating airports, hotels, and trains. The solution? We sought out to design a speedy and reliable travel system that will keep you moving at the top of your game.
A carry-on with convenient carry options, and the ability into a backpack, SOLO can take you anywhere —and you’ll look great while getting there too.
Packed with user-friendly features such as lie-flat packing, multiple organizational pockets, concealable backpack straps, separate and padded laptop pocket, side and top handles, SOLO is a versatile carry-all solution to give you full confidence in all situations.

Why we need your support
We’re a small startup with big ambitions. Over the past year, through countless sleepless nights we’ve iterated through 4 prototypes, and begged a lot of favours from our family and friends. We’ve partnered with a proven and experienced manufacturing partner who can deliver this bag. To date, we’ve invested $5000 of our own savings in design and development. SOLO has been tested under the toughest real-world scenarios and refined over and over to get it to where it is today.
All along the journey, we’ve received amazing feedback from real travel pros who’ve said again and again, “I want this bag!” Bottom line: We know SOLO can succeed; we just need a little help… To launch, a minimum order of $25,000 needs to be placed with our manufacturing partner.
With your help, we can reach our goal to deliver this product. Best of all, the success of SOLO will be the springboard for us to continue creating new and innovative products.
