Carryology x Evergoods Civic Travel Bag 26L Griffin Edition

When it comes to fusing heritage craftsmanship with modern-day functionality, few collaborations do it better than Carryology x Evergoods. Their latest creation, the Civic Travel Bag 26L Griffin Edition ($425), is a limited-edition masterpiece that brings together the best of old and new. If you’re looking for a travel backpack that not only serves its purpose but also exudes style and durability, the Griffin Edition is a must-have.

The Civic Travel Bag 26L Griffin Edition takes Evergoods’ much-loved travel backpack, the CTB26, and elevates it with a custom, limited-edition waxed canvas shell. Inspired by the mythical Griffin, a creature that combines the strength of a lion with the majesty of an eagle, this bag blends two worlds in one: the rugged heritage of Scottish waxed canvas with the sleek, functional design Evergoods is known for. The bag is constructed from P400 Wax C4X, a custom-developed cotton and wax blend crafted in collaboration with Halley Stevensons, the historic Scottish mill. Available in three unique colours, the waxed canvas is stiff, durable, and designed to withstand the rigours of travel while looking effortlessly stylish.

The exterior of the Griffin Edition is packed with features that make it both practical and versatile. It includes an oversized front stash pocket, a side-access pocket with a key leash, a zipper pocket, and two EDC drop-in pockets for all your essentials. The gusseted side pockets are equipped with hidden magnets, allowing them to expand for a 1L water bottle or retract for a sleeker profile when not in use. The top yoke external 3D pocket provides easy access to smaller items, and the luggage pass-through sleeve makes it a perfect companion for airport travel. The internal padded laptop sleeve is fully suspended, keeping devices up to 17 inches safe and secure.

The interior of the bag is just as thoughtfully designed as the exterior. With an opaque security pocket, a mesh zipper pocket, and a stretch pocket for books or folders, there’s a place for everything, making organization effortless. The lining, made from hot orange 420d HT nylon, adds a vibrant contrast to the waxed canvas exterior, making it easy to spot your belongings. Small details like the bias-cut panels for improved abrasion resistance and the differentially cut shoulder straps for a natural fit show the level of thought that went into every aspect of the bag’s construction.

The Griffin Edition’s hardware is equally impressive. It features YKK zippers with an antique brass finish, leather zipper pulls sourced from 100-year-old supplier Berger Co., and an aluminium side stay for sturdy side carry. The leather accents are crafted from high-quality, full-grain, chrome-tanned leather, adding an extra touch of luxury to the bag’s rugged aesthetic. With its combination of form, function, and heritage, the Carryology x Evergoods Civic Travel Bag 26L Griffin Edition is more than just a travel bag—it’s a statement piece for the modern adventurer.

Whether you’re heading out on a weekend getaway, tackling a daily commute, or simply need a bag that can do it all, the Griffin Edition has you covered. It embodies the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of quality that both Carryology and Evergoods stand for. With only a limited number of these bags available, it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece that blends heritage craftsmanship with cutting-edge design in perfect harmony.
