In reply to Rombout. Ahhh, that was Sneaker Freaker that launched in 2002. For us, a quick timeline looks more like freelance design through early 2000's, Rip Curl from 2004 to 2008, then mad company building from mid 2008, which included Carryology and Bellroy. Thanks for showing the curiosity!

In reply to Sebastian Schwartze. We've covered a few pieces, but the rest of the carry world has picked up so much energy since then that we've struggled to find the designs that can break through that on-rush of other awesomeness.

Nice read guys! Just found your site this week, I think I saw it before quite a while back. Super nice seeing all these magnificent bags in one spot with great articles along.

Nice story!
It’s interesting to read about Crumpler being quite common in the carry-world back in 2009. However, I haven’t seen a review for any Crumpler product on this site. Is there a specific reason for that?
I know that a lot of things have changed about that brand but I still believe that some of their bags are quite awsome.

This is heartening to read; I don’t recall the first article I ever clicked onto Carryology for, but I remember the feeling as I spread out from that and through the site. It was a rare and exciting sense of fitting in, but also seeing how I had to explore.

For me, discovering Carryology for the first time was a kind of shining light moment, in that I found I wasn’t alone in my nerdyness about bags.

Forza Carryology!

Great to see the story laid out like this—what an amazing 10 years! Super-enjoyed my trip to the Concept Store a couple years back, too. Onwards & upwards Andy, Mike, and crew!
