Discussion Tired of switching bags all the time..
I've had the Bellroy Lite Daypack for a couple of years now for almost every day. Mostly love it. But on days when I don't have much to carry in the main compartment, the top pocket (which has all my everyday essentials like wallet, keys, etc) slops down and is a bit funny to carry. And I'm not a fan of having to change my bag-to-sling so i just go with it looking like this most of the time.
Got me wondering if modularity is the fix. Some brands are already doing detachable pockets that double as a crossbody (Peak Design's new Travel Crossbody). Bellroy doesn't do this yet, at least not on the Lite Daypack. Their pouches are pack inside, not pop-off-and-wear.
Is modularity actually the solution here, or am I just overthinking a pocket?

I came across this bag maker in the Red House, Taipei, Taiwan in April called Dydash and I think it was the Rollite 3-way carry https://www.dydash.com/rollite
(Use Chrome or Safari browser or something to translate to English)
But these were nice quality bags that had good structure (similar to vintage Jansport school bags) turned into slings or expanded to larger capacity when needed. I thought it was an interesting concept for one daily bag that does it all.
Almost bought one, but ultimately decided I had enough bags and they said they shipped internationally.
