In 2014 I was living in Stockholm and was pregnant with my first child. I was working at an IT development company creating solutions for the banking industry. I have always loved bags but they just didn't seem to work with me. I carried my dad's old Fjällräven backpack on my bike to work, had a nice leather laptop case in the backpack which I stuffed down when walking into my meetings and I had a third handbag for the after-work- activities. This often ended up in a mess and I was always searching the bags for my essentials, and I had a close relationship with my locksmith. My friend Joanna is an architect, she mostly carried a canvas tote but she had the same problem.

We decided that bags must be able to do better.
