Introducing: The Dragon Range

We have been going through a lot of changes to make our company even better for you guys. We know that you have stuck with us watching our growth and development. We listened to you guys and our intuition and created an even more evolved theft-proof bag for your journey. Like all our bags, we pay very close attention to detail and craftsmanship to maintain high quality. After months of creative development we took one step further and created the new Dragon range; it was inspired by watching too many seasons of Game of Thrones and watching How To Train A Dragon (Love that movie!). Mythology and the beauty of the imagination are powerful forces. We feel these elements play a huge role in fuelling our curiosity to travel to explore the unfamiliar. We infused these ideas into the design of our bags. In regards to functionality we made sure that it could fit a lot more stuff for your travels, especially laptops for easy access. The normal sized bags can fit a laptop up to 15 inches. We also added a fluorescent dragon skin that reflects in the night so you can be easily seen and stay safe (We kind of geeked out on this because we think it is a pretty cool feature).  Also, we created the mini dragons aswell. Now you all can have your own pet dragon on your back that keeps your stuff safe.  

Introducing the Dragon range available at selected retailers and the Online Shop.

Top 3 places to visit in October

Turkey - Antalya

Turkey is increasingly becoming one of the hotspots for early autumn. Antalya specifically is enjoying being known as a popular destination. If you are not quite ready to accept the cold oncoming autumn weather you can delay it by visiting Antalya and enjoying its average temperature of 21 degrees. It is recommended that you check out Perge, which is the closest Roman ruin to Antalya. You can also get lost in history by also visiting Aspendos, Termessos and Side.

Near the resort of Side is Manavgat waterfalls. This is an amazing place to spend the day relaxing and capturing some epic selfies. There are plenty of garden cafes that provide refreshments and there are gift shops that are open all the time. If you want to see more of nature’s wonderful waterfalls, head to the bigger Duden waterfalls within the city of Antalya. It is truly a wonderful resort city that has more than enough to offer so you can enjoy your trip.

Italy - Rome

Rome has never failed to deliver; we think it will always remain a tourist hotspot no matter what time of the year it is. During the October months the weather in Rome is very mild, and the average sea temperature is about 22 degrees, which is warm enough to have a lovely dip in the ocean during your holiday.

When in Rome, do what the Romans do. Get lost in enjoying the food, culture and art. Check out the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj for amazing artwork. Check out the Colosseum and the other tourist attractions such as The Sistine Chapel, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountain and many more all within the city. During this time of the year it will not be crowded, so you will be able to gain easy access to the popular tourist attractions with minimal waiting time and fuss.

USA - New Orleans

New Orleans is the place to be in October. The city is awash with cultural offerings and of course plenty of festivals. Also, the weather during this time is at 26 degrees. So it will still feel like you are right in the middle of summer.

From the 1st - 2nd October the Treme Fall Festival takes place. All weekend you can enjoy the local music and food of the celebrated New Orleans neighbourhood. The festival is a donation-based event, created to raise money for the local community. 

Hell Yes Fest takes place on 6th - 16th October. It is a huge comedy event in New Orleans, featuring well known comics such as Sarah Silverman, Nick Swardson, Alice Wetterlund and many more. 

The Voodoo Music and Arts Experience happens on the 28th - 30th October. It is the last huge music festival of the year. The Weeknd, G-Eazy, Lost Kings and many more will be performing. It is set to be another epic one!

There is also the New Orleans Film Festival, which takes place from the 12th - 20th October. They will also be celebrating their 27th Year Anniversary so it set to be a huge one. Be sure to catch a flight and head out to New Orleans.
