Redesign Spotlight: The Trilogy Expandable Tote Pack
At Onli Travel, we’re constantly refining our designs based on the feedback we receive from travelers like you. Today, we’re excited to highlight the evolution of the Trilogy Expandable Tote Pack—a versatile, multi-mode bag that makes every journey smoother, more comfortable, and more efficient.
As its name suggests, the Trilogy Expandable Tote Pack can be carried as a tote, backpack, briefcase, or cross-body shoulder bag. This reflects our core belief: your bag should adapt to your needs, not the other way around.
Listening and Improving
The Trilogy Tote Pack builds on its predecessor, the Revolution Messenger Tote Pack, which featured an innovative 3-way strapping system. While creative and functional, customers told us that the system felt overly complex and could perform better in backpack mode. We took that feedback to heart and reimagined the design.
Now, the Trilogy Tote Pack features a simple, stowable set of backpack straps and a pair of deployable tote straps when the bag is expanded. These are intuitive, easy to adjust, and straightforward to use—no more fumbling with complicated mechanisms.
Unique Functionality for Travel Ease
One of the standout features of the Trilogy Tote Pack is how it interacts with airplane seating. The backpack straps are designed to wrap around the tray table, enabling you to deploy a zip-down shelf to hold your tablet or iPad during the flight. Wider loops at the top ensure stability, even in tight spaces. Travelers love this functionality—especially if you’re stuck in a middle or window seat—because it frees up legroom, keeps your essentials within reach, and gives you an easy way to catch a movie or check emails.
More Room for Life on the Go
Another major upgrade is the bag’s full expandability. Whether you’re packing for a quick trip to the market, a day at the beach, or a full day of excursions, the Tote Pack transforms into a top-loading backpack or shoulder bag with ample capacity. Deploy the expansion gusset, and you’ll find two handy pockets for water bottles or umbrellas.
An added bonus? The Trilogy’s expandability means even the Double Pack—a combination of the Tote Pack and the rear Weekender Daypack—gets a boost in capacity when you need it most.
Thoughtful Details That Make a Difference
We didn’t stop at just improving functionality. We’ve added a grab handle at the top-back, so you can always pick up your bag quickly, even when the straps are stowed. Of course, we kept the ergonomic, quick-access front pockets that our customers love, along with dedicated compartments for both a laptop and a tablet.
Travel-Tested and Ready for Anything
Having used this bag for a few short trips myself, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer. The Trilogy Tote Pack is sleek enough for any business meeting (just leave the spinner at the hotel!) but casual and functional enough for any adventure.
A Better Way to Travel
Simpler, roomier, and more versatile, the redesigned Trilogy Expandable Tote Pack is built to make your travel experience easier and better.
We can’t wait to hear how this bag transforms your journeys.
Happy traveling!
