The ARB is a versatile roll top tote bag with expandable volume, designed for both travel and everyday carry or commuting.
Convenient for both EDC and travel, this is a roomy, expandable bag for the modern office, the night out, the weekend escape, the grocery trip or the day at the beach or park. Plus, with a pass through that makes it rolling luggage compatibile, it is a perfect companion to a bigger bag when traveling.
Use it for a laptop and daily essentials on the way to work, carry groceries on the way home, bring it along for a weekend away, slide it over a rolling suitcase handle for longer trips or use it around town when you want something lighter and easier to access than a backpack.
A small evolution of an old ATD idea
The ARB comes from a simple roll top tote bag we originally designed for a shop in Milan. After the first version was sold, friends and customers kept asking for it to come back.
The current ARB started from a simple idea: make a tote for people who do not necessarily think of themselves as tote users. Something clean and understated enough for everyday use, but with enough flexibility, protection and organization to become useful when the day gets less predictable.
Make it yours
The roll top can fold inside the bag when you want a lower profile and faster access, roll and close down when you want more protection, or stand up when you need additional volume, giving the bag a useful degree of flexibility without turning it into complicated travel equipment.
The padded, adjustable handles are designed to work comfortably in the hand or over the shoulder. For cross-body carry, the ARB is compatible with our optional straps.
Designed to work in an office, on public transport, at the airport, at the market or outside the city without looking out of place, the bag is made to be used and keeps the understated look of the ATD family with its minimalist exterior and discreet branding
