Bergen Backpack – Clean Lines, Smart Design, Everyday Freedom
Meet the Bergen Backpack by Kapten & Son - where German precision meets Scandinavian minimalism. Built for daily life, creative work, and spontaneous escapes, this compact 12L backpack blends timeless design with practical performance. With a padded 13" laptop compartment and an eco-conscious construction in recycled PET, it moves as seamlessly as you do - from office hours to golden-hour adventures.
Designed for smooth mobility, the Bergen keeps your essentials neatly organized with a quick-access front pocket, side storage, and an internal zip compartment for valuables. Whether you’re cycling through the city, hopping on a train, or flying light, it’s compact, resilient, and ready for every day in motion.
Who is it for?
Urban explorers, students, and professionals who appreciate simplicity with purpose. The Bergen Backpack is made for those who value smart organization, understated aesthetics, and sustainable design - a piece that fits anywhere without shouting for attention.
Why It Stands Out
- ✔️ Compact yet capable – 12L volume fits your daily gear with ease
- ✔️ Tech-ready – padded 13" laptop sleeve (31 x 24.5 x 3 cm)
- ✔️ Smart organization – front & internal zip pockets + side storage
- ✔️ Eco-conscious & water-repellent – made from recycled PET & vegan materials
- ✔️ Timeless minimalism – clean lines and neutral tones that complement any look
Why You’ll Love It

- Durable, recycled materials for long-term use
- Looks sharp in both casual and professional settings
The Kapten & Son Bergen Backpack embodies modern simplicity - lightweight, practical, and sustainably made. Its slim 12L profile fits perfectly under airplane seats, making it just as handy for carry-on travel as for daily commutes. One of those rare bags that feels as good to carry as it looks.
