Upcycled Premium Bag Series

Monarc is Designed to Enhance Your Carry for a Sustainable Lifestyle.

— February 21, 2020 — Eco
The Settra Series from Monarc is a premium all-in-one everyday carry, gym duffel, and travel backpack. Each bag is engineered with durable ‘global recycled standard certified’ RPET fabric with the whole series made using 100 recycled plastic bottles.

Along with the Everyday Duffel Pack, there are compact and modular added inserts to make the bag even more functional. The entire series comes with two compression packs and a laundry bag to allow you to condense and arrange your clothes for travel. It also includes a camera and lens gear case with divided inserts to protect and organize your equipment, and a tech pack to keep all of your cords, drives, chargers and other digital tackle in order.

All exterior materials are water-resistant, with non-separating coated zipper coils to make the bag more weatherproof for unpredictable conditions. There are integrated multiple access pockets and low-pro zipper pockets for various storage needs, including a tech pocket and a shoe compartment with ventilation.

The multipurpose strap design allows users to switch from duffel to backpack in a matter of seconds for hands-free travel. The comfort padded shoulder strap is instantly removable when switching carry functions. Users can simply pull the backpack straps from the hidden compartment and attach to the corresponding d-rings and can rely on the adjustable sternum strap for added stabilization.
