Db is the Scandi travel label you need to know about
The pieces expertly combine style and function
Whether you’re into surfing, snowing, hiking or city breaking - be ready for anything with travel extraordinaire Db.
Born out of the belief that a sense of adventure should go hand in hand with a sensitivity to the environment, the label specialises in quality products and impeccable craftsmanship, but always in harmony with the planet.
Db creates its backpacks, carry bags, luggage, and accessories from durable recycled materials that will stand the test of time.
Supporting your life on the move
The Oslo-born brand combines performance-level functionality with style and sophistication – chic Scandi minimalism runs throughout the collections. This doubles down on the sustainability aspect, ensuring that these timeless designs transcend the notion of ‘trend’ and will have you covered whether you’re climbing Mount Kilimanjaro or attempting an Ollie off-piste.
Versatility is something the brand pays close attention to, and as such, each and every piece is created to make it easier to transport your possessions from A to B. The packing process is stressful enough so you’ll find innovative design solutions like space-saving constructions, the Hook-Up System so you can clip bags together, and the padded Rib Cage exterior to make sure that everything arrives safe and sound with as little hassle as possible.
