About Knack

Finally, say goodbye to the hassle of juggling multiple bags! Knack sprang from a simple observation that too many people were carrying too many bags at the same time, leading to an epidemic of overloaded shoulders and cluttered lives.

We pulled together a passionate group of frequent travelers and bag enthusiasts (from Tumi, Coach, North Face, Samsonite, and eBags) and created a revolutionary expandable backpack that transitions as easily from work to working out as it does from a client meeting to a weekend with friends. We called this backpack a Knack Pack and it was the first everyday bag that’s clever enough to replace two.

While Knack today is more than just backpacks, each of our products’ innovative designs and thoughtful features continues to help you effortlessly carry everything you need, while keeping you organized and hands-free at the same time. Experience the difference that Knack makes in every journey.

Testimonials

I’ve been using this backpack for over a year. I use it as my daily work bag with laptop, notebooks, etc. It has fantastic storage, is very sturdy and still looks great after heavy daily use. It expands to be a roomy weekend bag and also a great carry-on overflow bag for longer trips. I’ve tried a number of high-end backpacks and briefcases, and this is by far the best. Highly recommend!

Richard F.

I was looking for a travel backpack that could be well organized and not embarrassing to use for work when I reached my destination. For years I have been traveling with an additional nicer-looking tote to use while at meetings, but this takes up space in my luggage and I wanted to consolidate these functions. This backpack does the trick! Very well organized, light, and not ugly/utilitarian looking while at meetings ... I'm glad I purchased this bag!

Nadine C.

From working as a traveling MA, to taking weekend trips across the country, to traveling overseas, to now medical school, this backpack has consistently been amazing. I have so many positive things to say. For anyone who can stomach the cost and finds themselves relatively on-the-go, I highly recommend giving this bag a try. I'm really glad I did.
