PACKBAGS are tools for storage. As a firm believer in the endless opportunities of limitations, Our founder Alei Verspoor created a brutally simple design system. We offer 100 modules. No more. These modules are either made in our atelier in Amsterdam or close-by by skilled craftspeople. With our 100 modules you can design anything you need to pack everything you want. If something wears off , you simply replace it with another module. Design as you like or choose a preset configuration.
