Carry Awards X Winner - Best Everyday Bag - Alpha One Niner WHITLEY

The Slim, Lightweight Commuter

You don't need a bigger bag. You need a smarter one.

A compact, lightweight everyday backpack made for how most days really go - laptop, notebook, phone, charger, the small stuff you reach for all day. Everything has a place.

The lightest pack we make, with the details that matter:

  • Built-in organiser with a padded pocket that fits the latest iPhone Pro Max
  • Suspended laptop sleeve fits the biggest 16" MacBook Pro
  • Slot for your iPad in front of the laptop
  • Slips onto your luggage handle for travel days
  • Travel-ready hand-carry size - fits cabin baggage on most airlines
  • Removable leather patch on the front

Slim enough to disappear in a meeting. Organised enough to run your day from. A work bag, EDC backpack, and laptop bag in one.

Upgrade your carry: pair with our Fidlock V-Buckle sternum strap for one-handed buckling on the go.

Travelling light? Pack our AMBIT Dopp Kit inside for hotel-bathroom-ready essentials.
