With a steady focus on product research, development and attention to detail, Gravis bags and luggage are built to take you around the world and back.
Describing themselves as “a family of creative individuals who seek out adventure and discovery via global exploration”, Gravis is best described as an action lifestyle brand, rooted in four elements: skate, snow, surf, and art. Basically, they build strong, design focused bags for the people that need them most.
We have seen Gravis really mature over the last 3-4 seasons by tightening the screws on some strong core designs, while also stirring up a flurry of attention with some progressive collaborations with pro skater Dylan Rieder (he’s so hot right now!) and graphic artists Thomas Campbell & Dan Funderburgh.
Utilising a strong product development team, Gravis blend clean design lines with a variety of quality materials like canvas, wax coated canvas, rip-stop nylons, brushed cordura and ballistic nylons. Their seasonal colour palette often uses muted tones, earth tones, and shades of grey and black with the occasional splash of intense colour to keep things exciting but never OTT.
The branding is usually quite minimal which we love, however the function, design and overall aesthetic of the range tend to give the bags their own personality anyway.
At Rushfaster, what we love most about Gravis is their small but strong travel collection. Comprised of two pieces of rolling luggage with the carry on sized 52l Jetway (we LOVE this bag!), the 90l Trekker (for those longer trips), and their most recent addition, a laptop friendly travel duffle.
The new Travel Duffle (pictured above) is perfect for a 2-4 day road trip, and a blessing for anyone who likes to travel light with a laptop. This killer bag features side pockets for a 15″ laptop, pens, cords and sketchbooks. The inside main pocket is big and roomy for your clothing and on the end is a pocket that keeps dirty shoes or clothing away from your clean stuff… awesome huh?
It is seemingly simple stuff, but it would seem that Gravis are leading by example in this exciting new world of lifestyle travel.
Gravis is only sold at specialty stores such as Rushfaster, and are well respected in their industry and among blogs such as Carryology.
