Roll-Top Commuter Backpack — OEM manufacturing overview
Designed for commuters and city travellers who want a bag that works on the bike path and in the boardroom. The roll-top closure adds 5–8 L of expandable volume, while the dedicated laptop compartment (fits up to 15") keeps gear accessible. We build these OEM to any spec: alter the fabric, change the hardware finish, add USB routing, or adjust the strap system. MOQ 200 pcs per colourway. Available in Slate Navy 600D Oxford and Olive Waxed Cotton Canvas with antiqued brass fittings.
Materials & construction
600D Oxford (Slate Navy)
High-denier weave with a PU backing for water resistance. Retains structure under load and is easy to spot-clean — the everyday choice for commuter and travel builds.
Waxed Cotton Canvas (Olive)
Tightly woven cotton canvas with a paraffin wax finish that beads water and develops a natural patina with use. Pairs with antiqued brass hardware and dark-brown leather trims for a heritage aesthetic popular with US and European lifestyle buyers.
Customization options
Common requests: padded 15"–17" laptop sleeves, USB-charging port routing, adjustable sternum strap, roll-top height (standard vs. deep roll), and choice of hardware finish (matte black, gunmetal, antique brass).

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Slate Navy and Olive Waxed Canvas colourways?
The Slate Navy version uses 600D Oxford polyester with a PU water-resistant backing — lighter and easy to clean, great for everyday commuting. The Olive Waxed Canvas is heavier cotton canvas treated with paraffin wax; it develops a patina over time and suits heritage or outdoor lifestyle positioning.
Can you build a custom colourway beyond the two standards?
Yes. The 600D Oxford is available in most solid colours at the same MOQ. Custom waxed canvas colours require a fabric minimum (usually 500m) and a 4–6 week lead time for the waxing process.
Does the laptop compartment fit a 15" MacBook Pro?
The standard sleeve is sized for 15". We can adjust the pattern to accommodate 16" or 17" laptops — just specify when requesting a sample.
What is the minimum order quantity?
1 piece for sampling and design approval; 200 pieces per style/colourway for bulk production.
