AOC: Iconic Australian bag brand Crumpler has been announced as the Official Supplier of luggage to the 2016 Australian Olympic Team.
The design process is currently underway with customised versions of Crumpler’s award winning Vis-à-Vis trunk due to be unveiled with the official uniform in mid 2016.
Peter Stockdale, CEO of Crumpler said, "Crumpler is thrilled to be supporting the whole Australian Olympic Team on their journey to compete in Rio and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate our 20th birthday than designing a bag worthy of our Olympians.”
The announcement comes as Crumpler is preparing to kick off their 20th anniversary celebrations. Founded in Melbourne in 1995 by Dave Roper and Will Miller, and sculptor / furniture maker / bike courier Stuart Crumpler, they have now expanded across the globe. Their approach is simple - make bags, make them good looking, make them useful and make them great.
Each of Crumpler’s products is purpose designed, constructed with quality materials and have a lifetime warranty. Known for great looking and indestructible laptop and camera bags, Crumpler also now produces luggage that has met an equally thrilled audience. The award winning Vis-à-vis trunk is so distinctive customers have reported being stalked in airports by other travellers to find out where they can get one.
Stockdale says the Crumpler and Australian Olympic Team partnership is an extremely natural one.
“The originality in our product design is one of necessity, where we find a need, we design a solution – it's almost that simple. We don't take chances with quality. All our zips, toggles, textiles, threads, clips, wheels, webbing and raw materials are trialled meticulously, then pieced together by expert hands. The result is a bag that does what it's meant to, and holds true to the sum of its parts.
“Our Olympians have worked their whole lives on the small details to ensure they can deliver on the day. I’m pretty sure our Olympians will be enjoying their Rio Olympics Vis-a Vis trunk long after their athletic retirement.”
