With summer just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to begin planning those days out, mini-breaks and – if you’re lucky – holidays. One thing that you may be looking out for is a collection of durable bags to take with you on your travels.

Bag manufactures Gregory think that they have the essential summer accompaniment with their retro-style Sunbird line. Stylish and colourful, the bags are more than just an accessory.

There’s nothing worse than deciding what to leave at home when you can’t fit what you need inside your bag. Your jacket? Speakers? That extra bottle of water? Gregory ensure that their bags are spacious and roomy, whilst also modern and fashionable.

The collection has been designed to be used. Amongst the daypacks are the Kletter Day, the Trailblazer Day, and the Offshore Day: all make sure that utility and performance meets design, ensuring that you have enough storage for an exciting day out.

The Sunbird series features classic materials such as premium quality cotton-polyester blends, steel alligator clips, and U.S. sourced chrome tanned leather for an aesthetic that is distinct in its design.

The result is a bag with a modern, urban flair that harkens back to original Gregory pack designs from a simpler era.
