Peak Design and Carryology Debut New Collection of Photography Essentials

October 29, 2024

Discover upgraded carry gear featuring enhanced durability and new colors

San Francisco, CA (October 29, 2024) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Peak Design, the global leader in mobile accessories and carry solutions, is proud to announce its latest collaboration with long-time partner, Carryology. This special-edition capsule features Peak Design’s top essential photography tools, each product enhanced with aesthetic and functional upgrades for the joint community of dedicated everyday carry enthusiasts who share an eye for material and design.

In this special edition capsule, the two brands honed in on Peak Design’s core photography gear – including the Slide, Slide Lite, Leash, Cuff, Capture Clip, and Mobile Tripod – and brought these designs to the next level with refined colorways and carefully designed, stronger materials that offer users a better way to carry. This special-edition capsule is part of the Carryology Essentials Program, a series of product collabs that Carryology hand-picked to recognize and celebrate best-in-class everyday carry gear.

Engineered to deliver a unique and striking collection of products, the Peak Design X Carryology hardgoods feature a high-contrast black and orange color scheme, augmented by accents of Carryology’s distinctive Auxikko pattern on the Mobile Tripod and Capture Clip. The Auxikko print draws inspiration from the ancient Japanese Kikkō (hexagonal plates in Samurai armor) and auxetics, materials designed to become stronger under stress. This pattern celebrates the balance of elegance and strength, and perfectly complements Peak Design’s commitment to creating beautiful, industry shifting products.

“Since Peak Design’s first Kickstarter, they’ve been shaking things up, always finding new ways to innovate carry. And their smart designs have kept the industry on its toes. So, teaming up with them for a Carryology upgrade? It’s not just exciting—it’s a real privilege,” shares Carryology Editor-in-Chief, Michael Knispel. “There’s something special about taking what already works and making it even better together.”

Accompanying Carryology’s characteristic colors and patterns, Peak Design drew from its newly launched Outdoor Line to incorporate Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE threads) into these special edition camera straps to offer exceptional durability. With this high-strength material, this capsule of camera straps is more resistant to slashing and abrasion than standard Peak Design camera straps. Stay tuned to see the two brand partners put these straps to the test with machetes in the official launch video.

“We’ve been kicking around collaboration ideas with Carryology for nearly as long as we’ve known them,” shared Peak Design CEO/Founder Peter Dering. “There’s no other community on the planet that gets our design ethos as well as these folks do, and now we’re proudly paying homage to that.”

The Peak Design x Carryology Essentials Collab will be available for purchase on www.peakdesign.com and Peak Design retail stores starting on October 29, 2024 with 10-15% price increases from their standard counterparts.

About Carryology

Carryology started back in 2009, born from two designers with a passion for the most overlooked category—carry. Bags, wallets, luggage, and all the things we stuff inside them weren’t getting the attention they deserved. Their mission was simple: inspire both the industry and the wider community to carry better. Fast forward to 2024, and Carryology has grown into a global community, a media brand, and a design studio, teaming up with the best brands in the world to drop some of the most coveted limited editions in the carry scene.

But Carryology isn’t just about carrying; it’s about carrying forward. We’re here to spread the culture, to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the Carry Universe. It’s about doing good for every great brand, designer, and Carryologist—and for the world we live in.
