Bob Foldable Backpack | 16L
“Big enough to fit all my essentials for the day, and small enough to pack into another backpack. It still feels like a full-size backpack!” — Ilya K. ★★★★★
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Bob lives in your luggage. It folds into its own pouch, weighs next to nothing, and unfolds into a full 16-litre backpack the moment you land — for the beach, the city, the day trip.
The pouch doesn’t retire when the bag comes out: it has a little wristband and becomes a travel pouch on its own — for cables and chargers, or the things you want at your airplane seat.
The fabric is rainproof, woven from recycled PET bottles, with a wax finish — the light stripes you see are the wax developing its patina, not damage. Front zip pocket, a secret pocket on the back, a bottle compartment, padded shoulder straps. And despite the folding trick, it holds its shape in use — “it still feels like a full-size backpack,” as our reviews keep putting it.
One honest note: the back panel is not padded — that’s the price of foldability. For carrying heavy loads every day you’ll feel it; for travel it’s exactly right. Simple, light, honestly priced — and your name goes on the ID tag, worldwide Lost&Found service included.

THE FOLDABLES — A DIFFERENT ANIMAL
Ultralight and packable with an unpadded back — the spare bag in your luggage, not a full-size backpack. For a padded everyday pack, see the Alex or Toby.
PRODUCTION
Where are the bags made?
We design all our products in our studio in Amsterdam. Our fabrics are custom made by a leading fabric mill in Taiwan. The production is done by two smaller, family run factories in Vietnam. All our factories are certified and we visit them at least once per year.

For all Property Of... items we give life-time warranty on all production mistakes. Wear&Tear is not covered by the warranty.
Are the bags sustainable?
