Crumpler's ‘Made in Melbourne’ collection is locally made in our 'Bag House' workshop, located in the heart of Melbourne. Our small but mighty team of skilled bag makers has relocated from our beloved Fitzroy workshop to Globe Alley in the city centre.

Each bag showcases the fun of Crumpler design and the impeccable cut and sewn process, carefully carried out by our expert team. With a focus on small-batch production, we ensure every bag stands the test of time. Each one is complete with an original ‘Made in Melbourne’ badge, sewn inside and marked with a unique number in chronological order, along with its date of birth.
Our quest for Bag Glory continues.

From the start our dream was to return to Melbourne’s city centre and manufacture bags in a space reminiscent of our Flinders Lane beginnings.

After a year-long search, we found the perfect spot on Swanston Street – a beautiful heritage building with raw surfaces, high ceilings and concrete finishes. Simon O'Brien from Six Degrees Architects embraced the building’s history, including 1920s re-work, adding practicalities to the space. The result is a vibrant workshop where we’re inspired to create bags in Melbourne again.

An elevated crepe weave with a refined tactile surface, inspired by the natural textures of stone, shell and sand. Designed by Instyle and woven in Geelong by LoomTex, a local mill with over a century of textile heritage, it's made from Australian wool sourced from non-mulesed sheep. It was originally developed for heavy-duty commercial upholstery and is abrasion tested to 46,000 Martindale rubs, so it holds up to everyday carry. Wool is also naturally stain and soil resistant.

There are no topical chemical finishes. It's OEKO-TEX® certified, low VOC and free from hazardous substances and Red List chemicals. The mill uses energy-saving and waste-reduction measures and at least 30% rain-fed or recycled water, and the fabric has its own product-specific Environmental Product Declaration. Made in Australia.

A tightly woven nylon fabric with a ripstop weave. This material has a unique texture and soft hand-feel. Although lightweight this material is extremely durable. Made from 100% pre-consumer nylon waste.

This fabric has a hydrostatic head rating of 600mm, meaning it can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 60cm column of water before moisture begins to penetrate, as measured by hydrostatic head testing.
