About
Crumpler began in 1995 in Melbourne and began in direct response to the need for very
durable (and visible) bags for bicycle couriers, who really give their equipment a good
thrashing. They were soon available in a wide range of styles, colour combinations and
sizes. This was also the answer to the hundreds of poor quality, anonymously designed
black bags that were boring the hell out of the market at the time. Crumpler branched
out into IT, photo bags and accessories, and the products became popular in Australia
and internationally.
The famous logo came from a scribble-like stick figure, a branding iron which Stuart
burnt onto his furniture pieces. This ‘brand’ was burnt into a polystyrene box (just
for fun) – it looked great, and subsequently was scanned and patented!
Crumpler’s spirit is rooted in iconoclasm, wackiness and irreverence (or is that total
irrelevance?). The notoriety of our products continues to grow in response to their
legendary durability, great style, and the wide choice of sizes, colours and functions.
Crumpler hasn’t lost sight of its origins - the fundamental factor is fun!







Melbourne bag maker Crumpler has successfully defended its designs yet again
forcing a local copycat producer to recall the fake product, surrender stock &
pay a substantial cash amount. The offending fashion company also based in
Melbourne copied one of Crumpler's most popular bag designs which they then
sold nation-wide.
