Crumpler is one of Australia's most recognised bag brands — born in Melbourne in 1995 and built on a simple idea: make bags that last. From Crumpler luggage and travel backpacks to laptop sleeves and shoulder bags, every product is designed with function-first thinking and materials chosen for durability over appearance.
Travel Gear stocks a curated range of Crumpler bags and luggage, shipping from our Charlestown NSW warehouse with fast delivery across Australia.
Crumpler Luggage
Crumpler's luggage range brings the same durability and thoughtful design to checked and carry-on travel. Smooth-rolling wheels, TSA-compatible combination locks, and interiors designed to keep your gear organised across long trips. Hardshell construction in polycarbonate or ABS — both protect contents from impact and compression in baggage holds. Carry-on models are sized to meet Australian airline limits (56 x 36 x 23cm for Qantas, Virgin, and Jetstar).
Crumpler Backpacks
From lightweight daypacks to full-featured travel backpacks, Crumpler's backpack range covers every use case. The Proud Stash is a favourite for minimalist travellers — slim profile, padded laptop sleeve, and a clean aesthetic that works in both city and business settings. The LLA Action Day Pack suits those who need more capacity for day trips and adventures. All feature ergonomic padded straps and weather-resistant materials.
Crumpler Laptop Bags & Shoulder Bags
Crumpler's laptop bags and shoulder bags are a staple for Australian commuters and business travellers. The Pinnacle of Horror laptop shoulder bag provides padded protection for laptops up to 15", with enough room for daily essentials. Slim, professional, and built to handle daily commuting without showing wear.
