alpacks is an independent brand creating consciously handcrafted bags that bring together thoughtful design, technical performance and a love for the outdoors. Drawing inspiration from climbing, hiking and mountaineering, alpacks explores the space where outdoor equipment and everyday design meet. Each piece is designed with a focus on refined details, functional solutions and high-performance materials.

My name is Mark, and I’m the person behind alpacks. I’ve spent much of my life hiking in the Alps, finding inspiration in the mountains and the experiences they offer. Alongside hiking, bouldering has become a big part of my life. I’m always looking to improve and push my limits.

This mindset carries over into the way I design and make bags. I’m constantly looking for ways to improve the gear I use, experimenting with materials, construction techniques and small details that can make a real difference. Every iteration is an opportunity to learn something new and make the next version better.

Each alpacks bag is made by hand in small batches in my studio in Amsterdam. Keeping the process small allows me to focus on the details, experiment freely and give every design the attention it deserves.
