Two Bags in One

Designed for versatility, this unique 277Designs creation gives you the functionality of two bags in one. Carry it as a messenger-style bag when you want quick access, or transform it into a backpack when you need your hands free.

The double-compartment design provides additional organization and storage, making it practical for parents, travelers, first responders, and anyone who needs a versatile everyday bag.

Every Bag Has Its Own Story

Every piece of retired turnout gear carries evidence of the work it once performed. The markings, reflective stripes, textures, and natural variations make each bag completely unique.

No two bags are ever exactly alike because no two pieces of firefighter gear carry the same history.

Personalization

Add a custom name to make your bag even more meaningful.

Personalization is a beautiful option for firefighters, new parents, department members, retirement gifts, and families who want to create a truly one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Please Note

Each bag is handcrafted from authentic retired firefighter turnout gear. Variations in color, reflective striping, department markings, stitching, and wear are natural characteristics of the original gear and are part of what makes every 277Designs bag unique.

Because this is a handcrafted product, the exact placement of reflective stripes and turnout gear details may vary from bag to bag.
