One Backpack.
Multiple Customisable Zones.
Endless Possibilities.
Choosing a style that fits your way of life and style is essential.
Our vision is straightforward: a single backpack with many personalities and possibilities. We achieve this through a unique level of modularity, setting us apart from the rest.
Pack Face
We knew this had to be something that befits different occasions, so we have created a swappable face system, which we would like to call Pack Face — an interchangeable front piece of the backpack. This smart piece creates the freedom to shift, change and explore as you swap between occasions, seamlessly adapting to your mood, personality, or lifestyle.
Our flagship collection – the Monochrome Series comprises four purpose-built Pack Faces. Minimalistic yet functional, our classy Pack Faces will have no problem keeping up with your day.
Casual Face
Great for daily commute, leisure and urban downtime. Compact features for on-the-go, perfect for the weekend and simple pleasures.

Work Face
Sleek with thoughtful organisation. Clean aesthetics with business in mind, perfect for the everyday hustle.
- #MonochromeSeries
Active Face
Dedicated “air zone” for sports gears, employ the extension straps to the exterior for additional items.
- #MonochromeSeries
Travel Face
Simple portable features that make exploring easy and efficient with an additional three litres of volume for a comfortable journey.

Custom Zone #2
Shoulder Strap
The swappable faces are also complemented by a swappable Shoulder Strap system. This means you’re not limited to just the appearance of the backpack; you can also tailor the comfort and functionality according to your preferences. Whether you need a shoulder strap that’s more padded for heavier loads or one that complements a sleek and stylish look, our swappable Shoulder Strap system offers you even more personalisation options, ensuring that every aspect of your backpack suits your unique lifestyle.
The Monochrome Series offers you a choice between 2 Shoulder Strap options, and we have exciting plans to bring even more options in the future.
Chic Shoulder
Clean and sleek. Perfect for those seeking a more stylish and sophisticated appearance.

Utility Shoulder
Durable and functional, featuring MOLLE-compliant attachment points. Ample padding provides optimal comfort, even for heavier loads.

Custom Zone #3
Quality + Custom Hardware
In addition to renowned hardware, our product takes a bold leap by integrating 3D printing technologies. This fusion offers a host of advantages. It grants enormous design flexibility, facilitating rapid iterations. This innovative approach concurrently promotes sustainability by minimising waste and offering enhanced customisation possibilities.
What Pack is put together using quality and leather-free materials. To accommodate our distinctive Pack Face feature, we have also employed a custom-made, water-repellent zipper.
Quality Hardware
In regions of the backpack that experience the highest levels of stress, we utilise premium and top-quality hardware to ensure utmost durability. Our backpacks are designed to effectively manage your arsenal of urban equipment, providing the reliability and sturdiness you need for your daily endeavours.

Features
Subtle but thoughtful.
Our design may be minimalistic, but it doesn’t mean we have to compromise.
IDentify your backpack
Not just a pretty face, we have also added a quirky element to What Pack called What ID. All original What Pack comes with a passive serialised NFC identification chip. Using an NFC-enabled smart device, you will be able to check product authenticity, retrieve product information, updates, as well as care instructions.
The images displayed are nearly identical to the final product, with only minor improvements made throughout the development process. This concept originated in 2017 and has been evolving ever since. We are working closely with our partners to bring this vision to fruition, and we are now approaching the final stages of prototyping. If you resonate with the notion of having a uniquely curated backpack as a staple, we invite you to stay tuned as we take the final steps to bring this concept to life.
3D Printing Technology: Our primary equipment comes from Prusa Research, complemented by quality filaments produced by Prusa Research, Fillamentum, and other reputable suppliers. Our parts are printed using PETG and CPE HG100 materials, ensuring suitability for everyday urban activities. While sturdy, please be aware that these components are not intended for harsh or demanding conditions.
