Topo Designs Block Bag

Some days the whole kit is a phone, a wallet, keys and a paperback. The Block Bag is cut for exactly that day — a flat, rectangular crossbody in recycled ripstop that lies close to the body, disappears under a jacket and never announces itself on the walk to the train.

It is the errand bag, the museum bag, the one that rides folded inside a duffel until the hotel room is unpacked. Topo Designs builds it in four colorways whose panelled, colour-blocked faces are where the name comes from — graphic enough to wear as the only thing you are carrying.
