Before you know it, we will be entering the sunny days of summer travels and adventures. In between dazzling days of fun, there may be refreshing rain or surprising downpours that awaken the addictive scent of petrichor in your backyard. Whether you are ready for an outdoor adventure or simply enjoying the neighborhood, we would like to recommend durable and weatherproof gear as a companion for your TRAVELER’S notebook.
TO&FRO is a travel gear brand manufactured in Japan by a textile manufacturer that has been developing textiles since 1950 in Ishikawa Prefecture, one of Japan’s three major textile-producing regions. Each year, TRAVELER’S FACTORY collaborated with TO&FRO to create items for travelers adventuring in all kinds of climates. Our collaboration aims to make travel more enjoyable while also protecting our travel tools with innovative materials.
In addition to TRAVELER’S notebook fan favorites: TO&FRO Organizers and TRAVELER’S notebook Zipper Case, we would like to recommend new pouches and a new Backpack Standard item that will complement your adventurous spirit this summer.
TRAVELER’S FACTORY x TO&FRO Collaboration
TF TO&FRO Standard Backpack
The TRAVELER’S FACTORY Standard Backpack, created with TO&FRO features an original colorway of KITE fabric—a high-strength, water-repellent material that feels soft yet retains its shape. Even when encountering light rain, the fabric ensures that your items stay dry and secure.
It’s remarkably lightweight, weighing just 290 grams—lighter than a single apple. Furthermore, the shoulder straps are equipped with padding and a mesh lining to reduce strain on the shoulders. The top loop is an original design made from the leather used for TRAVELER’S notebooks.
The flap-covered exterior pocket and Velcro-fastened side pockets allow you to carry small items or a water bottle efficiently. Additionally, its packable design, which allows the main body to be stored inside an inner pocket, makes it ideal as a secondary bag while traveling.
With a large capacity of 13.2L and a load capacity of 7kg, its storage capacity exceeds its appearance. The inner pocket, which is convenient for storing small items, features a TRAVELER’S COMPANY print design. The TF TO&FRO Standard Backpack comes in three colors: Olive, Blue Gray, and Greige.
To celebrate the launch, customers who purchase a TF TO&FRO Backpack Standard will receive a complimentary mini drawstring pouch*. Made from a thin, lightweight original fabric, the pouch features a print of Baby Traveler, the mascot of the TRAVELER’S Notebook 20th Anniversary event. It’s perfect for carrying small items.
*The color of the mini drawstring pouch will be distributed at random. The complimentary mini drawstring pouch is a gift only with the purchase of a TF TO&FRO Backpack Standard.
