The Odyssey of a Companion

Some objects are more than just accessories; they become the silent witnesses of our lives, the guardians of our most intense memories. Alex's story is living proof of this.

A few years ago, by chance in a second-hand shop in Odessa, on the shores of the Black Sea, Alex locked eyes with a backpack. It was love at first sight, marking the beginning of an extraordinary epic. In November 2021, this bag became his only luggage for a journey that, in the end, never stopped.

From Georgia to snow-capped peaks, from streets traveled by surfskate to Scandinavian shores beyond the Arctic Circle, this bag has seen it all. It has crossed Ukraine, Crimea, Moldova, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Spain...

He lived with it for 4 years in Norway, weathered storms, climbed mountains, and shared silences facing horizons that few people are lucky enough to behold. For Alex, it became much more than a container: it is a mobile home, an unwavering accomplice.

Today, after five years of loyal service, the bag proudly wears the scars of its adventures. Its tired zippers tell the story of every kilometer covered, every challenge overcome. But for Alex, this is not an end, but a rebirth. Eager to pay tribute to this faithful friend, he chose to bring it back to where it all began: into our hands, in our workshop.

It is this intensity, this absolute trust in the robustness and poetry of our creations, that touches us deeply.

Alex’s journey reminds us that our bags are designed to last, to travel, and above all, to write stories that transcend us.

During his journey around the world, Alex, our steadfast globe-trotter, stopped by our Saint-Raphaël offices to share his incredible story and thank us for creating such enduring products.
