Heimplanet was founded in 2010 in Hamburg by Stefan Clauss and Stefan Schulze-Dieckhoff. The idea for the brand came about on a surf trip in Portugal, when the founders had to pitch their tent in difficult weather conditions and began looking for a simpler solution. Heimplanet expanded its range over time to include backpacks and bags from Hamburg for travel and everyday life. The Hamburg origin still shapes the brand's Nordic, functional character today: clean shapes, understated colour palettes and a focus on considered functionality rather than a loud design language. Heimplanet bags and Heimplanet backpacks are aimed at people who want a piece of kit for travel, work and leisure that doesn't look like classic outdoor gear, yet performs just as well. With the Transit Line, Carry Essentials, Motion Series and Mono Series product lines, Heimplanet covers a range of different uses, from the compact crossbody bag to the larger travel backpack.
Heimplanet backpacks are designed for both urban mobility and travel. Many models feature a padded laptop compartment that safely holds notebooks up to 15 inches, along with additional pockets for smaller items such as a phone or charging cable. Heimplanet backpacks with a laptop compartment are therefore just as suited to the daily commute as to weekend trips and longer journeys. The different models come in various volumes and formats, from more compact options for everyday use to Heimplanet travel backpacks with more room for longer trips. The range is rounded out by Heimplanet crossbody bags for everyday use, a smaller alternative worn close to the body for anything that needs to stay within easy reach, such as a wallet, keys or a small tablet. Buying Heimplanet backpacks online means choosing, from several lines, the version that best fits your daily routine, whether in the city or on a longer trip.
For many models, Heimplanet relies on its own Dyecoshell fabric, a robust blend of ripstop nylon and a polyurethane-coated nylon designed for hard-wearing everyday and travel use. Certain models also use Hypalon, a material originally developed for technical equipment and known for its durability. Details such as YKK zips and Duraflex buckles ensure that zips and fastenings keep working reliably even with frequent use. This choice of materials makes Heimplanet water-resistant and a practical option for anyone who is often on the move, for instance in changeable weather on the way to work or while travelling. On specifically labelled models, further technical details are provided on the relevant product page. The compact, clean design, free of protruding straps or prominent logos, is characteristic of Heimplanet outdoor bags and visually sets the backpacks apart from classic outdoor gear.
Heimplanet continues to develop its range of bags, crossbody bags and backpacks. New Heimplanet collections regularly add further models and colour variants, both in the more compact everyday styles and in the larger travel lines. A Heimplanet backpack with a laptop compartment suits the working day well, a Heimplanet crossbody bag for everyday use is ideal for anything that needs to stay within reach, and a Heimplanet travel backpack is a companion for the next trip. It's also worth taking a look at the Heimplanet Sale, where reduced bags and backpacks from previous collections can be found. Whether a compact crossbody bag, a water-resistant backpack for the city or a sturdy travel bag: Heimplanet combines Scandinavian-inspired minimalism with functional details that prove their worth in everyday life and on the road.
