Step out briskly with an ultra-lightweight backpack this summer

According to MELO, outdoor backpacks with a capacity of approximately 30L typically weigh over 1000g, while city-use models range from about 600-900g. This highlights just how lightweight the "2 Buckle Flap Backpack" is at approximately 300g.

This backpack's design inherits the classic drawstring-top flap from the brand's signature 3-pocket backpack, first introduced in 1985, and features a立体 (three-dimensional) square bottom.

The outer pockets have wide openings and double zip closures, making them ideal for frequently accessed items like wallets and smartphones. It is available in two colors: black and white.

A Crafted Piece, Made in the USA by Artisans

MELO was founded in 1985 by designer and owner Jim Mervell, who envisioned creating meticulously designed bags with high quality, manufactured within the United States. During its early days, the brand gained attention from dancers and fitness enthusiasts in New York City who valued both functionality and aesthetic appeal. In recent years, MELO has become a trendsetter in the fashion market, with its products stocked in numerous retail stores.

Over 30 years ago, the company began with just a few sewing machines in a small factory in Manhattan's Midtown. A year later, it relocated to a larger facility in Brooklyn. Today, MELO operates from a boutique-sized, 10,000-square-foot factory. In addition to producing its own line, the factory's advanced sewing and quality control capabilities are sought after for manufacturing specialized, mission-critical medical equipment for the U.S. Army and Navy.
