This soft-sided travel bag is sized to meet stricter airline carry-on requirements while offering enough space to keep you organized on work trips, weekend travel, and everyday adventures.
Constructed with 100% recycled body fabric, lining, and webbing—plus a recycled TPU-film laminate—the Mini MLC delivers the weather resistance and toughness Black Hole® bags are known for. Convertible carry options let you switch between backpack, shoulder bag, and duffel or briefcase modes, with all straps tucking away cleanly when not in use.
