About EVERKI
We make the bags we carry.
EVERKI has built premium bags for mobile professionals since 2005, and more than 2 million have shipped worldwide. Here is where we come from, who makes our bags, how they get made, and why they last.
The name
Ever. Ki.
I named EVERKI with purpose. Ever, for relentless. Ki, for strength and energy. The promise was simple: bags that stay relentless, and stay with you.
Born in Vietnam, raised in California, I have traveled through more than 40 countries. Every mile taught me what mobile professionals actually need, and where the market kept getting it wrong. Bags that looked the part and fell apart. Bags that survived and looked like camping gear.
In 2005 I founded EVERKI to close that gap. Style that works. Twenty years later that is still the whole brief.
The people
Real bag makers. Two decades of it.
Our bags are not built by an algorithm or a marketing team. They are designed, prototyped and signed off by the same people who have been making premium backpacks for business travelers for twenty years.
Take EVERKI ONE, our newest backpack: eight months from first sketch to final sample. Most of the planning happened in three weeks in Germany, when Vyrio from our US team flew in. Whiteboard in the mornings, pockets and zippers in the afternoons. By the time Vyrio flew home, the design was set.
We all travel with EVERKI bags ourselves. This is the bag we wanted to carry.

It started with a meeting at CES in Las Vegas. Today: office in Braunschweig, warehouse in Saarbrücken, Germany.
Our team in our own factoryOur own factory.
Since 2021 we have built our bags in our own production in Dongguan, southern China, so the quality of every bag is in our own hands.
Before the factory
Before it's a backpack, it's 100+ pieces of paper.
Every panel, strap and compartment starts as a hand-drawn paper pattern, cut to full size and laid out on the workshop floor for review. More than a hundred individual pieces are measured, refined and signed off before a single zipper is sewn.
It is the slow part of bag making, and it is the part most newer brands skip. They prototype remotely and approve on a screen. We do not. Seams, zippers, the click of a chest strap, the structure of a clamshell under load: signed off in person, before tooling begins.
Before it ships
Eight tests. Our equipment. Our facility.
Every prototype goes through the same battery we have run for two decades, on rigs we own and operate ourselves. Nothing here is outsourced.
Eight tests. One standard. Every batch.
What each test checks
Tensile strength
Fabric panels and stitched seams are pulled on our own tensile rig, so we know every seam holds up to the way these bags actually get used.
Handle & strap endurance
Grab handles and shoulder straps run thousands of drop cycles on an automated rig. The attachment points that fail first in a cheap bag are the ones we test hardest.
Zipper cycling
Zippers are the single most common failure point in any bag. Our rig opens and closes them thousands of times before a production run is signed off.
Water-resistant spray
Exterior fabric and water-resistant zippers are spray-tested at calibrated pressures. The bags handle everyday rain; a rain cover takes over when the sky opens.
Salt spray & humidity
Coastal air, humid hotel rooms, the inside of an aircraft hold. Extended cycles confirm sliders, buckles and hardware do not corrode and coatings do not break down.
Colorfastness
Materials are tested for color stability under rubbing, light and washing, so the bag still looks new after seasons of travel.
Shipping carton
Even the box is engineered. Cartons are compression- and drop-tested to carrier specification so the bag reaches your door the way it left us.
Volume verification
Liter figures are not marketing numbers. Volume is verified the way the textile industry does it, with calibrated fill media. Every production batch is checked.
After you buy
Built to be owned for decades.
A bag used for fifteen years is waste that never happens. That is the standard we build to, and we travel with our own bags, year after year, on five continents.
“I used my Atlas for 11 years for the daily trip to the office as well as business trips around the world. [...] After trying some 10 different bags from 5 different brands I sent them all back and got myself an Atlas again. [...] The black design with orange accents still looks great to me after over a decade.”

Bullet proof.
“Great product and about the only one I could find to accommodate my W700 Lenovo laptop. I actually had this fall off a moving vehicle at about 40 mph and had no damage to the laptop or anything else in the case. Just a little road rash on the exterior material.”

Great business travel backpack
“I'm an engineer that travels for business and a bit of a bag nerd. This is my 2nd Everki backpack. [...] This backpack is extremely well built and thought out in typical Everki fashion. [...] Somebody really took the time to think through the entire design, it all just works. [...] It has a conservative, tasteful look that makes it easy to show up at business meetings with it.”
