Two brothers, one frustration, one bag.
We are Joep and Kamiel, twins from The Hague who can’t sit still. Legpack didn’t start in an office, but on a dusty road in Vietnam with a backpack that was too heavy.
Don't choose. Just take it with you.
Backpacks are heavy and sweaty. Suitcases get stuck on dirt roads and stairs. We didn't want to compromise, so we made a bag that rolls when you want it to, and sits on your back when it has to.
Everything we design comes from real travel experiences: from how to safely leave a bag in a hostel to how to keep it dry during the monsoon. Each version is better than the last because our customers tell us what still isn't quite right.
The idea is rolling in
Autumn 2022, Vietnam. Joep is walking through the city in 30-degree heat and realizes: this could be done smarter. Too heavy, too sweaty, and setting it down is a nightmare. A suitcase? Not an option on dirt roads and stairs. That is how the idea for a backpack that rolls when you want it to was born.
From frustration to prototype
Endless sketching, testing, and starting over. Then there it was: a sturdy backpack with wheels. The reactions from friends and fellow travelers gave us the confidence that this could become something bigger than an attic project.
The first Legpack has been born
We launched the very first Legpack. Travelers called it the middle ground between a backpack and a suitcase: compact, robust, and flexible. Exactly how we ourselves would have wanted to take it to Vietnam.
Smarter, stronger, more secure
Inventory flew out the door and feedback came pouring in. We released version two: stronger wheels, TSA lock, better material, and higher-quality zippers. Legpacks are now traveling to Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond.
Launch Legpack Cabin, Carry-on luggage
We noticed an increasing demand from our customers for a Legpack that can be taken on board as carry-on luggage. This required us to go back to the drawing board: How can we make the Legpack smaller while retaining all the benefits of a wheeled backpack?
For the modern traveler
Legpack has grown into a brand for smart travelers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Customer-centric, comfort, and continuous improvement. One thing never changes: we design based on real travel experiences, so you only have to enjoy the journey.
