The way you travel designs your bag more than you think...

Every journey we make on a daily basis influences more than just our mood or energy levels: it shapes the way our bags are designed.

Whether on the subway or during a long flight abroad, the mode of transportation has a direct impact on our luggage needs.

1. Urban transport: compact and practical

In large cities, where the subway, bus, or bicycle are the main means of transport, bags must be practical and lightweight. Designers prioritize:

• Compactness, to squeeze into trains or between cars.

• Accessibility, with easy-to-reach pockets for quickly taking out your phone or transit card.

• Comfort, with padded shoulder straps and balanced weight for long walks or standing journeys.

In the city, the TORINO II backpack (140424) combines a slim design with a large 15L capacity, while the YOSEMITE ECO (400702) provides quick access to essentials thanks to its large front zippered pocket.

2. Train or long-distance travel: organization above all else

For longer journeys, such as train or intercity bus travel, the bag's design focuses on capacity and organization:

• Separate compartments for documents, electronic devices, and clothing.

• Quick access to essentials to avoid emptying the entire bag in the aisle.

• Durable materials, as the bag will be handled, set down, or sometimes stacked.

Here, the PRO MONTREAL backpack (170401) offers smart organization and a 24 L capacity, while the strong and lightweight ECO COURCHEVEL (160510) protects your laptop throughout your trip: the ideal combination of comfort and efficiency.

3. Air travel: safety and lightness at the heart of the design

Air travel imposes specific constraints: regulated dimensions, safety, and comfort for long hours of sitting. Designers therefore incorporate:

• Dedicated compartments for electronic devices, meeting security checks.

• Optimized weight, because every gram counts when traveling light.

• Ergonomics and mobility, with wheels and telescopic handles that are easy to maneuver in airports.

When traveling by plane, the CHICAGO EVO Trolley & Backpack (170231) complies with IATA regulations and fits easily into the cabin, while the ECO CHICAGO EVO EXPANDABLE (400511) allows you to adjust the capacity from 6 to 14 liters, ideal for saving space on your return trip.

4. Green modes of transport: cycling, scooters, and walking

Eco-friendly or active journeys such as cycling or electric scooters require very different bags:

• Water and wind resistance to cope with bad weather.

• Secure fastenings to keep the bag stable while on the move.

• Aerodynamic and lightweight designs so as not to hinder movement.

For cycling or walking, the BE VISIBL universal rain cover (180113), equipped with LEDs and designed for vulnerable users, enhances your visibility and safety, while the ECO PORTLAND II backpack (105350) combines compactness and robustness for intensive daily use.

Whether you're a busy city dweller, a globetrotter, or a fan of sustainable transport, the bag you choose always reflects how you get around.

At PORT Designs, we design each model with your specific needs in mind: ergonomics, organization, and style, so that your bag is your best companion, whatever mode of transport you use.
