The Origami Sling

 
 

Featherweight, weatherproof daypack.

You know the days when you are travelling and find yourself in need of some additional storage. You know a backpack would be too much, but carrying it by hand is not convenient either. The Origami Sling is a featherweight storage solution that blends with every outfit and expands from flat up to 1.5 litres.

A large expandable main compartment is sealed with dual-size 3 YYK reversed coil zipper pulls with Alcantara finishing. The back pocket sits flat between the lining and perfectly holds a smartphone.

The outside fabric is made from recycled Cordura 2L waterproof 80den nylon, whilst the inside is made from upcycled hot-air ballon nylon ripstop.

 Inspired by shopping bags and folding paper.

The Origami Sling’s shape takes major inspiration from the plastic shopping bags most of us use every day. Folded flat, it takes up virtually any space, yet can expand to fit a lot of groceries. The shape principle holds true for the Origami Sling as it folds flat against the body, yet expands to a capacity of 1.5 litres when needed. Because of its fold lines, the bag will also shape itself to the items inside, keeping bulk to a minimum.

 

Minimalistic at heart, refined with the best materials.

Made from only 6 fabric pattern pieces and 18 total parts, the Origami Sling is the pinnacle of refining an idea. Constructed with extremely durable waterproof recycled Cordura and upcycled hot-air balloon nylon ripstop, for only 48 grams, it is the lightest bag possible for its size and high durability.

 

No bulk really means no bulk.

During the manufacturing setup, we created construction methods that combine into a textile product that only has one perceivable seam, which is located away from use areas. Both zippers are bonded instead of stitched, reinforced with bartacks and the back pocket cleverly utilises the space between the lining without exposing any seams.
