City Plume Collection: Style, Lightness and Flexibility
City Plume is the collection for those who want the Plume quality and Parisian colour instinct in a bag or backpack format. Every product is crafted from our lightweight twill nylon, the same fabric that made Plume suitcases famous, with the same softness, the same flexibility and the same considered approach to colour. The difference is the format: City Plume is built around the bag and backpack categories that city life actually demands, from the compact Carryall for a budget airline flight to the generous Travel Backpack for a longer adventure.
A Format for Every Day
City Plume covers the full spread of everyday carry in one lightweight nylon aesthetic:
- Backpacks: from compact laptop backpacks for the daily commute, including a distinctive roll-top silhouette, to roomier travel backpacks with a generous laptop compartment for longer trips.
- Bags: relaxed duffle bags for a day out or a short trip away, alongside more compact formats sized for light travel and everyday carry.
- Specialist formats: a thoughtfully equipped baby changing bag that converts between backpack and shoulder bag, and a pet carrier for small cats and dogs.
Several formats carry airline confirmations for free cabin travel, with the details shown on their product pages, and personalisation is available on selected styles.

FAQ
What types of products are available in the City Plume collection?
City Plume covers bags and backpacks in lightweight twill nylon, designed for everyday city life and shorter trips. The range includes compact laptop backpacks for daily carry, including a distinctive roll-top silhouette, roomier travel backpacks for longer adventures, duffle bags in a choice of sizes for everyday carry, a thoughtfully equipped baby changing bag and a pet carrier for small cats and dogs. City Plume does not include suitcases, so for those, explore our Plume collection.
What material are City Plume bags made from?
City Plume bags and backpacks are crafted from our signature twill nylon, the same lightweight, flexible fabric used in our iconic Plume suitcase collection. The twill nylon has a subtle sheen and a soft, relaxed feel that distinguishes it from the more structured rubber effect material of Lost In Berlin. It is water-resistant, protecting your belongings from light rain and everyday splashes, and it is light enough to make a genuine difference to how the bag feels when worn or carried all day.
Are City Plume bags suitable as free-on-board hand luggage?
Yes. Several City Plume formats carry airline confirmations for free cabin travel: our roomier travel backpacks are confirmed as free underseat luggage on easyJet standard fares, and our most compact bags are confirmed as free personal item luggage on Ryanair standard fares, ideal for the lightest kind of travel. For other products in the range, we recommend checking your specific airline's personal item policy, as allowances vary and can change. Airline approvals are clearly labelled on individual product pages.
How does City Plume differ from the Plume and Lost In Berlin collections?
Each collection has a distinct identity. Plume uses twill nylon exclusively for suitcases. City Plume uses the same twill nylon but applies it to bags and backpacks for everyday city life and shorter adventures. Lost In Berlin is our premium line, using a rubber effect material with metal elements for a matte, urban aesthetic, and it covers the widest range of product categories. If you love the lightness and softness of Plume but prefer bags and backpacks to suitcases, City Plume is your collection.
What colours are available in the City Plume collection?
City Plume is available in a palette of understated, everyday tones that reflect its urban lifestyle character, with core colourways that sit comfortably in professional and casual settings alike. Special editions introduce more distinctive shades periodically. Not every colour is available across every product, so the full colour selection for each model is shown on the individual product pages, and it is worth checking back as new shades are added.
How do I care for City Plume bags?
City Plume bags are easy to maintain with a little regular attention. A damp cloth with mild soap, worked in gentle circles, lifts everyday marks from the twill nylon, and the interior only needs a quick wipe to clear dust or debris. Leave the bag open to air dry afterwards so no odours build up, and avoid harsh chemicals, which can affect the fabric over time.
