Bag & Carry Gear
Design Studio
632Design is a specialist design studio for bag, backpack, luggage & carry systems AKA softgoods. Twenty five years of work across bags, packs, luggage and technical product, translated into a full service design and development studio - drawings, prototypes and factory-ready product specifications.
A structured route from idea to production.
Every project moves through a clear sequence, from the first conversation to factory development. The exact scope varies, but the aim is the same: fewer surprises, less risk and product that holds up in the real world.

03 / Founder
John Clark — designer, prototyper, manufacturer.
Twenty five years across sports, lifestyle and outdoor product. The studio runs alongside an active workshop with in-house pattern, sampling and prototyping capability, so every recommendation is grounded in what is genuinely buildable. Sampling, materials, construction and factory communication are daily practice, not theory.
