Founded in 2004 by two Swedish brothers, Sandqvist aims to bring together outdoor practicality with the elegance of minimalist Scandinavian design. Whether you're using it for the office or during a trek in the wilderness, the Hefe, one of the brand's latest releases, is an instant classic in all-black canvas and vegetable-tanned leather, roomy enough to pack all your on-the-go essentials, with a laptop sleeve and an opening that can be narrowed with two press buttons on each side. Consider it the Swedes' version of the oversized it-bag.
