Design Statement
Winner of the iF Design Award 2025
The Hybrid Briefcase Backpack, designed by Colombian designer Juan Andrés Quiñones, addresses the multifaceted needs of the contemporary urban professional.
The 3-in-1 design integrates backpack ergonomics for comfortable commutes, briefcase formality for professional settings, and messenger accessibility for urban navigation, all within a refined and subdued aesthetic.
Cleverly concealed elements facilitate seamless transitions between carrying modes, a key differentiator.
Each piece is made to order and handcrafted by skilled artisans in the heart of the Andes, using locally sourced, full-grain leather.
