Born out of need, fuelled by passion, and designed to improve lives, we craft our bags for those of us who are looking to move through life with a little less worry.

Not only is this bag just as versatile as any leading sling bag on the market, our implementation of cut-resistant fabric and a unique locking design provides the ability to secure it to an immobile object. From the quick release cobra buckle to the stowaway cover that keeps it hidden, we’ve covered all our bases. Highly portable and weather-proof, this multi-wear option is perfect for sports or a day out.

With LOCTOTE’s proprietary anti-theft features, including industry leading cut-resistant fabric, this Mini Cinch Pack can be securely locked to an immobile object to keep your valuables safe while you’re not around. This is everything you’d expect from a Mini Cinch Pack and so much more.

Built out of premium waxed canvas, this cross body wearable is fortified with hidden anti-cut fabric and panelling providing an inner layer of slash-proof protection. Paired with our cut-resistant strap made out of an industrial strength fiber called UHMWPE, this compact pouch safely stores the necessities in a premium robust design.

Crafted as a secure, RFID blocking wallet, it effectively houses all those important documents that come with an extended leave from your home. This case is designed to house two passports, credit cards, cash, tickets, booking confirmations, receipts, coins, and that ever-useful pen. Made from full-grain leather and premium waxed canvas, this is a hard-wearing, stylish solution that only gets better with age.

Crafted from premium full-grain leather, it features a magnetic closure that keeps things compact. This sleek design has been specifically crafted to age beautifully and stand the test of time.

Since 2015, LOCTOTE has set the standard of what theft resistance really means. Over the course of half a decade, we have perfected our flagship anti-theft features, which this new collection now benefits from.

We’re really just a bunch of product developers at heart. We love to tinker with things and to play around with creative ideas. This is why we put so much of ourselves, our time and energy into thinking about how we could apply our flagship anti-theft system to an entirely new category of products that hasn’t been conceptualized in this way before.

As you might expect, whenever you pioneer something, you’re going to run into some complications. The design of the Sling Bag is a good example of this, as it was a particularly complicated conceptual process. After all, it’s not easy to make a bag that’s both easy access for the wearer and nearly impossible to get into for a thief. Several “interesting” thoughts flew through our heads but thankfully none of these ideas made it to the shortlist. What we’ve ended up with is a product that is tough in its effectiveness and sophisticated in its design.

With this new collection, we grabbed the opportunity to update and upgrade some of the materials that we use. We’ve chosen a higher quality wet waxed canvas, softer linings and proper full-grain leathers that not only look (and smell) great but that are sustainably sourced. To top it all off, we’ve developed custom locking hardware that has the LOCTOTE stamp of approval, both literally and figuratively.

Risks and Challenges

Risk 1: As many of you now know, the face of LOCTOTE has changed. Over the course of 5 years, Don Halpern, our Founder, has become somewhat synonymous with the LOCTOTE brand. After all, he was the guy who launched our first two Kickstarters, the one who appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank, and the man behind the world’s first anti-theft bag that smashed the standards of what theft resistance really means. Recently, he decided to pass the torch to new ownership. After hand-picking the team at Nolk to drive the brand to new heights, he now dedicates his time to hammering away at his latest inventions. Don remains a close member of the LOCTOTE family as our Product Development Advisor. He was heavily involved in the design process of the Mobility Collection and helped enormously with the overall transition towards a new era for LOCTOTE. While we are building from the solid foundations that Don has set, the transition of ownership is still a tricky thing to juggle with the current health crisis and the production of a new collection. We’re trying to take a bit of our own advice – Live More, Worry Less.™ We can’t change what’s going on in the world right now but we can continue to live our dream of making the products that will give you, our community, the peace of mind you need right now. What we can promise you is that we have invested heavily in improving production quality, creating tighter quality controls and expanding our production capabilities to the international stage. You can also count on us to uphold LOCTOTE’s core values of honesty, transparency, reliability and trustworthiness. We’re here for the long haul and we’re heavily invested in building and growing LOCTOTE with you, our Kickstarter community.

Risk 2: LOCTOTE is dedicated to sourcing the absolute best quality fabrics and materials. If we’re saying that our bags are the toughest in the world, we need to make darn sure that we’re using the most durable components we can get our hands on. This requires that we hand pick our suppliers and manufacturers from all around the globe to ensure our products are just as industry leading as we say they are. Since the beginning of the design process of the Mobility Collection, it has always been our intention to revisit and revise the materials that we use in the construction of our products. From the leather to the waxed canvas to the nylon linings, we spent many an all-nighter analyzing the pros and cons of various suppliers and their products. Samples were sent, received, tested and sent back. But finally, we got to the point that we had narrowed it down to the best of the best. And then, like many others, we got hit with the global pandemic. Timelines got shifted, shipments were delayed, there were many moving parts to contend with – right up to the very end. Manufacturing or shipping delays are always possible but they are now more likely than ever due to this pandemic. However, we pivoted our strategies and adjusted our protocols and we have got to the point where we are confident in our ability to deliver on time. But as always, a speed bump along the way is a possibility (even when the world is not facing a global pandemic). What we can say is that we have done everything within our power to minimize these possibilities – our designs and materials are finalized and our manufacturers are ready to go. We just need the final boost from you, our community, to help us deliver.

Environmental Commitments

Long-lasting design

In a world that’s bombarded with “fast fashion,” LOCTOTE is driven by sustainability and by creating products that are designed to outlive their owners.

Environmentally friendly factories

We’re working with a new leather supplier who is committed to environmental excellence and sustainability in the industry. They’ve developed their own trademarked manufacturing process, LITE, which stands for “Low Impact To the Environment.” We’ve worked closely together to ensure that the leather we use is not only sustainable, but ethically sourced. Check out these cool statistics below which demonstrate how much water and energy we are saving per product from the new collection: Mini Cinch Pack: 0.55 US Gallons of water saved, 19.20 lighting hours saved Sling Bag: 1.92 US Gallons of water saved, 66.78 lighting hours saved Neck Pouch: 0.52 US Gallons of water saved, 18.00 lighting hours saved Passport Case: 2.72 US Gallons of water saved, 94.21 lighting hours saved Card Holder: 1.47 US Gallons of water saved, 51.16 lighting hours saved Camera Wrist Strap: 0.62 US Gallons of water saved, 21.46 lighting hours saved

Sustainable Distribution

Over the course of the past 12 months, LOCTOTE has made significant strides in terms of introducing more sustainable initiatives across multiple areas of the brand. We’ve chosen to use a corn based plastic alternative for our packaging, which is biodegradable, carbon-neutral and even edible (although we don’t suggest trying this at home). This corn based “plastic” is both a renewable resource and creates much less greenhouse gas emissions than conventional plastic production – it represents a reduction of 68%.
