Crumpler has secured a major local contract that will take it all the way to Rio.
Crumpler has been announced as the Official Supplier of luggage to the 2016 Australian Olympic Team.
The design process is currently underway with customised versions of Crumpler’s award winning Vis-à-Vis trunk due to be unveiled with the official uniform in mid 2016.
The announcement comes as Crumpler prepares to kick off its 20th anniversary celebrations.
Founded in Melbourne in 1995 by Dave Roper, Will Miller and sculptor / furniture maker / bike courier Stuart Crumpler, it is now a global business.
CEO Peter Stockdale said the Crumpler and Australian Olympic Team partnership is an extremely natural one.
"The originality in our product design is one of necessity, where we find a need, we design a solution – it's almost that simple. We don't take chances with quality.
"All our zips, toggles, textiles, threads, clips, wheels, webbing and raw materials are trialled meticulously, then pieced together by expert hands. The result is a bag that does what it's meant to, and holds true to the sum of its parts.
"Our Olympians have worked their whole lives on the small details to ensure they can deliver on the day. I’m pretty sure our Olympians will be enjoying their Rio Olympics Vis-a Vis trunk long after their athletic retirement."
