With borders opening up, travelling and business trips have become more frequent than ever. Travellers have encountered one common obstacle when travelling with their backpack – backpack straps tend to be in the way when they are not carrying it on the back. SchuBELT is an all-in-one bag for on-the-move. The straps are sucked inside the bag and out of the way by a special mechanism when users put it down. To top it off, the length of the straps can easily be adjusted with one push of a button, an ingenious mechanism that keeps the chosen length in memory as users release the button.

In addition, the SchuBelt is now available in a larger model with expandable storage space. The bag is equipped with a laptop compartment that can hold A4 documents, Macbook Air, Ipad, wallet, charger, keyboard, earphones etc, and a main compartment with a 180° opening for a water bottle or umbrella, and even change of clothes.

Starting today, SchuBELT is available for purchase on Hong Kong e-commerce platform Searching C, retailing at SGD 129 (early-bird price).
