Our Story:

It started in November 2025, on a family holiday in Spain.

I was using a roll-top backpack and was surprised by how practical it was. It felt like a reminder that backpacks don’t have to be bulky or unstylish, even on everyday family trips.

But I kept thinking there was room to improve it.

I don’t come from a design background and I didn’t really know much about backpacks. I just had a clear idea of what I wanted from one.

Around that time, my partner Lauren mentioned the idea of having a built-in rain cover. That idea stuck with me.

Not a separate cover you have to remember, but something built into the bag itself — there if you need it, but not affecting how it looks or works day to day.

Living in England, that made a lot of sense. You can leave the house in good weather and still get caught in the rain without much warning.

After we got back from Spain, I started working on turning that idea into something real.

Over the next eight months, alongside a full-time job and raising two children, I worked closely with our manufacturer, going through a lot of trial and error to get it right. Lauren helped a lot throughout the process, giving feedback and shaping the idea as it developed.

This is our first product. We’re hoping to build on it over time.
