DAKOTA
Fully convertible bag with 27 features
DAKOTA is a women's travel bag that really deserves the name "CONVERTIBLE".
The vast majority of so-called "convertible" bags do not actually change their shape, nor their appearance, nor their carrying capacity. They simply allow you to add shoulder straps and carry the same bag differently.
DAKOTA is different, it's an authentic convertible bag.
Thanks to its innovative, patented design, DAKOTA easily convert into:
- an elegant handbag, perfect for a dinner out or shopping in the city;
- a small, stylish daypack, ideal for all daily activities;
- a spacious travel backpack, perfect for longer trips and hikes.
Each of the three bag versions is designed so that you would never think they are the same bag. No one will ever imagine that the backpack you arrived at the hotel with and the handbag you go to dinner with are the same bag!

ACCESSORIES
5 tailor-made accessories that make your DAKOTA even more functional and comfortable
Detachable Weight Reducer
As comfortable as your backpack may be, if you carry a lot of weight on your shoulders for long periods of time, discomfort or pain in your shoulders, neck and back is bound to occur. The only way to counteract these drawbacks is to distribute the weight of your backpack across your shoulders and other parts of your body, such as your chest or waist. And that's exactly what our detachable weight reducer does.
This simple accessory will help you:
1. reduce the weight on your shoulders;
2. maintain a correct posture;
3. stabilise the backpack in relation to your body;
4. have more freedom of movement;
5. prevent pain in your shoulders, neck and back
Detachable Leather Handle for Backpack
We know how annoying it is to handle a heavy backpack without a handle.
That's why we have equipped DAKOTA with an elegant leather handle that adds greater comfort and style to your backpack.
Of course, it is detachable - after all, we don't want to spoil the purity of your handbag's design!
Chain Handle with Leather Pouch
Looking for a more glamorous look?
Add the chain handle instead of the leather one and transform DAKOTA once more!
You can also use the chain as an elegant and practical keychain. Attach your keys to the bag and find them in no time.
This accessory comes with an elegant leather pouch coordinated with the bag.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio Shoulder Strap Pads
Detachable shoulder strap pads with a high strength-to-weight ratio are an indispensable accessory to safeguard the well-being of your shoulders when you travel with a heavy bag.
Our shoulder strap pads have a special internal structure of two layers. The semi-rigid first layer ensures high shock absorbency and uniform weight distribution. The second soft layer provides maximum comfort to your shoulders.
When you don't use them, put them in the waterproof pouch and hook it to the bag.
Tailor-Made Rain Cover
The rain cover effectively protects your bag from water and dirt.
Customly designed for DAKOTA, this rain cover perfectly fits both the compact and extended version of the backpack and allows you to access inside even without removing it completely.
The reflective DRiiBE logo makes you more visible in low visibility conditions, increasing your safety on the road.
Has the sun come out again? Store the rain cover in its waterproof bag and hook it to the DAKOTA bag.
THE MATERIALS
No compromise on quality, no renunciation of sustainability

We only use tested and certified ecological materials. Each part of the bag is made from the most suitable ecological material, in order to guarantee the best functionality and the most satisfying aesthetic impact.
To give the handbag more elegance and style, we chose DMF free water-based PU leather and italian bio-based PU Leather VIRIDIS.

Some of leather parts are made of Viridis® - an innovative and certified material made of 69% renewable BIO-based components, mostly derived from corn and wheat by-products.
