Mero Mero · Mini Smögen Travel Bag
A travel bag that carries like a backpack.
Proper shoulder straps stow away in no time, three handles do the rest, and the roll-top sets the volume from 30 to 45 litres. One compartment keeps wet things, another the dirty laundry.

Two bags in one
A backpack with proper shoulder straps, a travel bag when you stow them.
The ergonomic shoulder straps stow away in no time; the bag then becomes a duffle carried by its handles.


Volume
30 litres rolled, 45 unrolled.
The roll-top closes in three ways, including a large zip closure.


The details

Mero Mero
Mero Mero, from Annecy to Vietnam.
Born in Annecy
Mero Mero is a French brand, born between lake and mountains. Its first bag, a messenger bag, was inspired by two children, Clémence and Léon. The brand is a member of 1% for the Planet and gives 1% of its turnover to environmental organisations.
Sewn in Vietnam
Since late 2018, manufacturing has been in Vietnam, with a partner specialised in technical stitching: paragliding canopies, harnesses, backpacks. The factory is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and passes the WRAP audit every year.
Repaired in France
The brand plans for repair from the design stage and works with workshops in France, in Annecy and Lyon.
Eiken's take
- Why we chose it
- A travel bag that carries like a backpack: proper shoulder straps, three handles, one compartment for wet things and another for dirty laundry.
- Worth knowing
- Closed, at 50 cm, it goes as carry-on; unrolled, at 72 cm, it does not.
- Who it's for
- For those who leave for a weekend or a micro-adventure with a single bag, clothes to pack and laundry to keep apart.

Questions
Can you carry it like a backpack?
Yes: proper ergonomic 3D mesh shoulder straps and a removable sternum strap. It has no hip belt, which limits it to weekend loads.
Is the Mini Smögen waterproof?
No. The fabric is PU-coated (1000 mm) and water-repellent, PFC-free: a shower will not get through, but anything that must stay dry travels better in a pouch.
What is the dirty laundry compartment for?
It is an independent, adjustable compartment, reached through a wide side opening: dirty laundry stays separate from the rest of the bag.
What does the guarantee cover?
The 2-year legal guarantee goes through Eiken. Beyond that, up to 10 years against manufacturing defects and abnormal wear, you contact Mero Mero directly. Zips are covered for 2 years.
