For globetrotters, urban explorers, outdoor adventurers, and anyone who demands versatility and efficiency from their gear, the KONVAL AIR Series Packable Bags are poised to become your ultimate travel companions. Launched on Kickstarter by KONVAL, this innovative collection of bags promises to revolutionize how you pack, offering a trio of ultra-compact, durable, and stylish solutions that effortlessly adapt to any journey or daily need.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: KONVAL AIR Series: Packable Bags by KONVAL
What It Is: A meticulously designed series of lightweight, highly packable bags crafted from eco-friendly, durable materials. The collection typically includes a versatile Garment Bag, a practical Backpack, and a convenient Tote Bag, all engineered to fold down into their own integrated pouches, providing extra carrying capacity precisely when needed for travel, daily errands, or unexpected purchases.
Key Features
Ultimate Packability: The defining characteristic of the KONVAL Air Series is its extreme packability. Each bag is designed to effortlessly fold and tuck into its own built-in pocket or pouch. This allows them to be stored virtually anywhere – a carry-on, a glove compartment, or even a larger everyday bag – making them ready to deploy for extra luggage, shopping, or spontaneous adventures.
Versatile "Perfect Trio": The series typically features three distinct bags, each optimized for different uses:
Garment Bag (e.g., 43L): A spacious duffel that integrates a garment sleeve to keep suits, dresses, or delicate clothing wrinkle-free during travel. It transforms from a flat garment bag into a full-sized duffel.
Backpack (e.g., 20L): A sleek and minimalist design ideal for city wanderers, daily commutes, or day trips. It's lightweight, yet spacious enough for essentials, a laptop (often up to 16-inch), and valuables.
Tote Bag (e.g., 32L): A versatile and eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags, perfect for shopping, gym essentials, or as an extra carry-on. It's lightweight, durable, and highly portable.
Durable & Eco-Friendly Materials: The bags are crafted from 100% Recycled Ripstop Nylon, which is both PRUECO® Certified (meaning it uses recycled materials to keep waste out of oceans and landfills) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified (free from harmful substances). The Ripstop weave provides exceptional tear and rip resistance, ensuring longevity.
Water-Resistant & Stain-Resistant: The material features a water-resistant coating to protect contents from light rain and spills. It also boasts a stain-resistant finish, making it easy to keep clean and looking fresh for urban or outdoor use.
SILVADUR™ 930 FLEX Antimicrobial Finish: This advanced treatment prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, keeping your bags fresh and hygienic, especially important for travel and active use.
Premium Components: The KONVAL AIR Series uses renowned Japanese YKK zippers for smooth, reliable, and long-lasting closure mechanisms. Neodymium magnetic holding points are often integrated into the garment bag for versatile carrying options.
Privacy & Security Features: Bags may include thoughtful features like an RFID Blocking Pocket to protect personal data and a thicker anti-translucent design to keep belongings discreetly out of sight.
Thoughtful Travel Features: The Garment Bag and Tote Bag often include a luggage sleeve, allowing them to easily slide over luggage handles for consolidated transport through airports.
Rewards
KONVAL AIR Trio: A bundle including all three KONVAL AIR bags (Garment Bag, Backpack, and Tote Bag) at the most substantial discount, offering the complete versatile system starting at $94
What's generally included with each trio sets:

The Idea
Concept: To redefine modern travel and daily carry by offering a highly versatile, ultra-packable, and sustainably-made bag system that provides adaptable capacity without compromising on style, durability, or convenience, allowing users to pack smart and be prepared for any unexpected need.
Inspiration: KONVAL recognized the evolving needs of travelers and urban dwellers who seek efficiency and flexibility in their gear. Tired of bulky luggage or flimsy disposable bags, they envisioned a system that could expand or disappear as needed. The KONVAL AIR Series is born from a commitment to blend modern aesthetics with advanced materials and thoughtful functionality, offering a comprehensive solution for those who prioritize lightweight travel, environmental consciousness, and preparedness, ensuring every adventure is unburdened and stylish.
