BANANA BOWL- The photo bag for the bag!
We have seen it all; from underpants through to wash cloths. Every photographer has his own solution to stowing his camera away inside his/hers everyday backpack or sling bag. Packaging your 2000€ DSLR in your favourite y-fronts was probably a good idea when you did not want to take your big photo bag to that bbq with friends but there is a time when you probably should start respecting your snappy chappy and house him in something fit for a king; the Banana Bowl.
The Banana Bowl is a great solution for the bag in a bag. Put all your camera gear in the bowl (camera, lens, cable etc) then put the Banana Bowl in any bag that you are travelling with- your suitcase, your hand bag and even your messenger bag. It is padded and lined so your camera is safe and even has a handle; so it easy to grab. See……. simple and 0h-so-handy.
Online and available now, so go check it out!
THE NEW PRIME CUT BACKPACK!
The All New Prime Cut Backpack
The Prime Cut Collection is the perfect choice for indecisive iPad, laptop and netbook owners. At first look, they are a collection of slim, stylish bags. But with closer inspection, they are more than meets the eye.
So what happens if you want to carry a water melon AND your laptop or iPad? No problem. Just shove ‘em in. Sandwiches? Shove ‘em in. That Charlene Harris novel? Shove it in. The neoprene front bloats out to hold pretty much anything at all. And when you take it all out, hello again! slim and stylish. And best of all: no stretch marks.
The Prime Cut Backpack Colour Flash Ed. has a laptop holder for 15″W laptops and room for a lot of love. It also comes in seven stupendous colours – one for every day of the week, much like your underpants. Unless you don’t wear underpants. Our Social Media Manager doesn’t wear underpants, actually…he says he wear “nonedies”
The NEW Light Delight Collection
We are ecstatic to announce the new Light Delight Collection. It is long awaited character to join the Crumpler family. We love structure, we love choice and we idolise innovation. The Light Delight Collection is the first series of structured, featherweight bags – designed specifically for laptops, cycling, and travel – that weigh less than a meatball sandwich and can carry more than a dump truck. The range is an elegant marriage of Herculean strength and ravishing aesthetics. They fold down to the size of your hand, and expand to the size of your ego….. so it just depends how big your ego is…..
Among the 11 bags, in four eye-catching colours, each one serves a distinct purpose for the urban adventurer.
The smaller bags make you more organised than the German train system; the travel bag is ideal for your passport, your tickets, and your love letters. The Organiser does what it says: stores anything from your cables through to your electric shaver and lavender bath balls. The bum bag…the fanny pack…The Hipster! Summer is coming and you need your hands free so you can find a lady/man friend to hang off your shoulder, so go find them.
The Shopper is a special bonus in the collection, perfect for throwing in a bigger bag and pulling out when you need it most, or when you popping to the supermarket (or somewhere slightly more glamorous sounding).
If you are looking for the ideal carry-on, the Weekender is your lady. It is made to the EXACT dimensions for carry-on luggage. This means you don’t have to deal with those gate garrisons at the airport anymore. Just toss your laptop in the mesh pocket inside, and bring whatever other crap you want to bring for your weekend getaway.
If you are searching for a easy to grab solution for transporting your laptop or iPad there is a large selection to chose from; the Sling, Messenger, Backpack or Boarder. Heck! Even the Weekender and Duffels have places for laptops and iPads… and all your shoes, knitted jumpers, kegs of beers and what else you may be carrying around.
The Duffels are an ideal solution for travel… with more than three different ways to carry them. The XL is literally X-L, we didn’t just slap the name on to make our egos bigger. Our intern can fit inside… and because these bags are so strong… we picked up the bag and carried him off to the pub…

Crumpler Has A New Shop: Berlin – ALEXA
We are thrilled to announce the opening of our newest shop, in ALEXA in Berlin. It is a brand new concept for us that we believe really reflects the colour and beauty of our bags. Needless to say, we are pumped. We’d be thrilled to hear your thoughts as well!
Here are a few pictures of the shop!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CRUMPLER BAG OF ALL TIME?
We’ve been having some heated discussions here at Crumpler HQ Berlin lately about which of our bags is best of all time. Of course, everyone has their individual preferences – some are fans of the classics, while some live for the newest additions – so coming to an agreement on this is like asking an Aussie and a Kiwi to, well, agree on anything!
We decided that the best way to get our graphic designer, Blake, to shut up and stop talking about how much he loves the Jackpack would be to ask the very people that use our bags every day: you!
Head over to our Facebook wall and add your vote to our poll to help us settle this vigorous dispute! Right now, the Cheesy Chick is enjoying it up on top!
Let the games begin :)
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUESDAY – SANDY BITCH
Happy TOO GOOD TO BE TRUESDAY everyone! This time, we are taking a look overseas at our friends in Australia, who are heading into summer, while we are getting firmly smacked by the cold hand of Mother Nature here in Europe.
If you want to win one of our awesome SANDY BITCH messenger bags, all you have to do is go out and draw our logo in the sand. Yes, that’s right, the sand. Pretend you are somewhere warm, go outside in the cold, grab a stick, and draw our logo in the little crushed up pieces of rock, otherwise known as sand. Or, if you are one of those unfortunate souls that live far from water, draw in the dirt or something :) Just be sure to post your work to our Facebook wall.
THE PERSON WITH THE MOST “LIKES” ON THEIR POST, WINS THE BAG. SO BE SURE TO GET YOUR FRIENDS INVOLVED! The competition will run until next Monday at 12:00.
And as always, this is only for contestants in Europe. The prize is not exchangeable.
MINI FOTOMARATHON IN BERLIN
Marathons are interesting concepts. We once saw some advertising for a marathon that summed it up really well: “Just keep running, and try not to shit your pants.”
Well, the folks over at Fotomarathon have come up with a much more humane and artistic version of the marathon, and they are hosting a mini event in preparation for the big kahuna in June 2012.
On November 19th, 30 contestants will enter our shop in Berlin-Mitte and will set out on a quest to snap photos that fit a certain set of guidelines. During that time, the contestants will be running around the city with their cameras, trying to get the perfect shots to fit the various themes. Oh, did we mention that this is a competition as well?! Well, yeah, it is!
We love the idea, and are excited to be a part of the day’s festivities. Registration is still open, but spots are limited, so act fast if this sounds like something for you! Head over to the Fotomarathon site for more information!
The FREEWHEELER Video!
Allriiiiight! Introducing the AWESOME new video for our FREEWHEELER Collection! Toss yer eyeballs at it, and let us know what you think!
Also, be sure to spread this video like glitter in a kindergarten art class! That means, let your friends know about it online :)
THE ALL NEW DINKY DI
We are bursting at the seams to introduce a new twist to one of our most classic bags, the Dinky Di! Like any classic, we wanted to keep the original feeling, but we were sure to add a bit more quality, and a bunch more sexy to this new model.
The Dinky Di has been with us since way back when. It is our most colourful bag and, rightly so, it boasts an attitude that has been known to humble self righteous divas. This beauty has long been a staple in our messenger bag range, exhibiting both personality with the quintessential Crumpler stripes, and functionality that makes MacGyver sweat.
Needless to say, this is a bag that will be with us until the day we die…and with our 30 year Guarantee, it is a pretty sure bet that it will be with you until the day you kick the bucket as well!
Head to our Online Shop to check out the full range of bags!
Introducing, The Freewheeler Collection
Crumpler was born of one great idea in Australia back in 1995: to create unbreakable and individual bags. Welllllll, not a lot has changed since then.
We recently released the Freewheeler Collection into the wild, and not only are they more attractive than that foxy vixen at the ice cream shop downtown, they are also as robust as a rhino’s ass. No, seriously, they are. We even have internal battles going around the office about who will order which bag…because no one likes to show up to the dance with the same dress. You know?
This lightweight and extremely durable collection has it all: messenger bags, a backpack, a photo bag, and slings. If you don’t find what you want here, you probably just don’t know what you want.
We’d suggest you finally do something with your lives and grab your Freewheeler before your friends do :)
THE 2012 LONDON STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FESTIVAL – INTERNATIONAL AWARDS
Are you the type of person that shoots from the hip? Do you stroll amiably down streets, whip out yer camera, and freeze moments in time? Well, if so, you may just be a voyeur. OR, you may be super into street photography!
On that note, we wanted to announce that we are among the Prize Sponsors for the 2012 London Street Photography Festival – International Awards.
Photographers anywhere in the world are invited to submit images that capture, explore or question contemporary society and the relationships between individuals and their surroundings. Kind of like these:
