There was no travel camera bag that had both functionality and style, which led to the creation of the WANDRD PRVKE Bag.

What type of travel camera backpack do you want? Functional but ugly, or beautiful but barely functional? The camera backpack industry has largely shifted from professional use to leisure life. People who are looking for camera backpacks are usually not looking for a single photography purpose, but also consider important factors such as leisure and fashion.

When it comes to camera backpacks, many times one has to choose between these decisions, and it was this dilemma that led to the birth of WANDRD. For those who are not familiar with travel camera bags, you may have already encountered the PRVKE travel camera backpack with its roll-top design, customizable storage space, and waterproofness during your travels.

The PRVKE travel camera backpack is suitable for people who need to go to work, commute, travel, hike, walk, or even go to campus for different activities. They hope that the PRVKE camera backpack will be meaningful in their lives and integrated into their lifestyle. Despite stuffing the PRVKE camera backpack with heavy equipment, its wide padded shoulder straps, chest strap and waist belt are still very comfortable to wear. Although larger than the average everyday backpack, it feels smaller than a mountaineering backpack and is equally supportive.

WANDRD was founded in 2014 by brothers Ryan and Spencer Cope, who describe themselves as "passionate photographers and explorers" who sought to fill a gap in the camera backpack market and create a camera backpack that could easily go from photo shoots to commuting, while also looking good. After months of going back and forth with designs, throwing out nearly finished designs and starting from scratch, vetting manufacturers, making tons of mistakes, making some good decisions, and testing behind the scenes, on October 6, 2015 WANDRD’s first PRVKE Pack travel camera backpack was successfully produced.

In October 2016, WANDRD created a Kickstarter campaign for their first product, the PRVKE backpack, which was a huge success and was fully funded in just two weeks. The PRVKE backpack is distinguished from other camera backpacks not only in appearance, but also in its functional combination and usage. In 2016, detachable inner bags are rare. The clever use of partitions to enhance storage and reduce clutter can be said to be the characteristic of the PRVKE backpack. The simple design of waterproof cloth and nylon cloth and the combined inner bag create a storage space that is professional enough, while the stylish, simple, urban style design is suitable for any occasion.


Durability is one of the biggest concerns with camera backpacks, and WANDRD has chosen to design their backpacks using tarpaulin and nylon fabrics, despite the increased manufacturing costs, and offer a lifetime warranty against defects in materials or workmanship, with quality seemingly being their primary concern, removing the unnecessary and leaving only the essential items.


The PRVKE 21 isn’t WANDRD’s first product, but its size and popularity definitely make it a recommendation for the series. With a top handle that lets you hold it like a handbag, an adjustable roll-top lid, three access points on the side for quick camera access and a fold-flat flap, plus the original removable camera bag, a protective layer that can accommodate a 15" laptop and tablet, a back-to-back secure passport pocket, and a rain cover and accessory straps for securing external gear, the camera bag can be removed from the inside of the PRVKE and it becomes a universal travel backpack suitable for short trips. It is also small enough to be stored under a regular airline seat and is suitable for carry-on.

“Why don’t we do it ourselves?”


Believing that this just felt right, WANDRD set out to create the best travel camera bag in the world. A team of a dozen people provides backpacks to explorers, creators and photographers in more than 100 countries, dedicated to inspiring people to get out and live their passionate lives.
