About this construction study
Each divider is sewn into the front wall. Its free edge meets a small, covered magnet on the pocket face below the closed flap. A soft fold accommodates the shorter reach when a phone and wallet fill the pocket. The pocket flap opens independently, while both outer walls stay full height.
Pocket depth and movement clearances are illustrative and will be checked in a sewn sample.
Less to carry.
More to notice.
It began with a camera,
a long walk and a simple need.
When Christopher Drake went out making street photographs, he wanted a bag that felt light, moved quietly and made it easy to reach what mattered.
Room for a changing day. Soft surfaces against precious gear and clothing. A strap that could sit close or hang long. Useful details, with a shape worth wearing.
That first bag became the starting point for Monofloat.
Soft on your things.
Easy on your day.
Carry lightly.
Soft nylon and a pared-back construction, designed to keep the bag itself from becoming the load.
Move quietly.
Concealed magnetic closures and a zipper-free interior. A quieter approach to carrying and reaching in.
Make a little room.
A flexible body that gives with what goes inside, with a generous opening and a high front wall.
The thought
is in the details.
Inside our first crossbody design.
Choose a detail to explore.
One soft material.
Inside and out.
The same soft nylon continues through the lining, closing the gaps and covering the surfaces your belongings touch. A considerate place for the things you value.
Wear it close.
Let it hang.
Permanently attached. Adjustable in length. The wide strap is sewn into the bag at both ends, with the same soft cloth feel throughout. Adjust it for a shorter carry or a longer crossbody fit.
Soft cloth where it meets your clothes. No separate shoulder pad, just one continuous idea.

Every detail.
Monochrome gives the shape, texture and movement their own space. Our first concept is shown in black.
Why this shape?
A light, soft approach to carrying, expressed in one colour. The diagonal flap, wide strap and flexible rectangular body give the design its character. A small black embroidered monofloat follows the angle of the flap.
Is it a dedicated camera bag?
Street photography is where it began. It is an everyday bag with soft surfaces and fold-flat dividers, giving you flexibility in what you carry. Fit and protection will be assessed with the final sample.
When can I get one?
The crossbody is still in development. Its final materials, dimensions, strap range and availability will be confirmed through sampling. The other items are concepts to explore.
Concepts being considered.
The bag comes first. These are some of the ideas we are considering next, shaped by the same light, soft approach to carrying. These are early explorations, with forms and details still to be developed.
