Head Bag Designer Full Time

Crumpler is a privately owned designer, manufacturer and retailer of bags and outerwear with a small modern factory and studio based in Melbourne’s CBD, along with a network of five retail stores around the country. We make a best-selling product in Melbourne that is sold all over the world.

After building up our studio and local production facilities we are keen to include an experienced bag designer to continue improving long standing silhouettes and bring some new thinking and expertise to the company.

We have a legacy of core products we’ve been making for ever and they continue to set the scene and we’ve been seeing some recent hits with more experimental products using different fabrics, trims and shapes. Along with some good learnings from around the world and some pretty interesting advances in fabric technology we reckon some fresh ideas keeping our DNA in mind have the potential to shake up the bag world.

Things We’d Love:

• You’ve got experience designing and making bags or something similar.
• You’d be comfortable physically making stuff and experimenting alongside our in-house pattern & bag makers.
• Day to day you’d be quite happy range planning, working on bag shapes and styles, experimenting with colour, developing trims, new materials and hardware.
• You understand style, trends and history.
• Detail is important.
• You have commercial sensibilities.
• You really like well made things.
• You get a kick out of trying something new.
