Urban Traveller & Co is on the brink of a major milestone—our 10th year anniversary! As we approach this momentous occasion, we are thrilled to introduce Countdown to X, a year-long celebration beginning this November 2024. This marks the start of our countdown to a decade of curating exceptional everyday carry (EDC) gear and providing quality service to our valued customers.
Since our inception, Urban Traveller & Co has been dedicated to bringing together the best of EDC brands from around the world. We have built a community of enthusiasts who appreciate premium craftsmanship, innovative design, and utility in their everyday gear. Over the past nine years, our loyal patrons have made it possible for us to become a trusted name in the EDC space, and we want to honor that relationship as we look ahead to our 10th year.
To kickstart this journey, November 2024 marks the 9th anniversary of Urban Traveller & Co. But rather than wait until 2025 to start celebrating, we’re launching Countdown to X—a 12-month-long series of collaborations, special releases, and events, all leading up to our 10th anniversary in November 2025.
At the heart of Countdown to X are the exclusive capsule collections we're unveiling in collaboration with our most trusted EDC brand partners. These collaborations represent the essence of what Urban Traveller & Co stands for: innovative, functional, and beautifully crafted everyday carry essentials.
Each collection under the "UTC X" label will spotlight our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what EDC gear can be—designed to elevate your everyday adventures, whether you're navigating the city or the great outdoors.
We’re excited to introduce the very first UTC X collaboration: Dune Collection, created in partnership with the renowned brand Black Ember. Black Ember has long been a staple in the EDC world, known for their exceptional blend of futuristic aesthetics and superior functionality.
The UTC x Black Ember Dune Limited Edition Collection will feature two of Black Ember’s best-selling products: the Citadel 25L backpack and the Kompak crossbody bag. Both items have been reimagined for this collaboration, combining Black Ember’s signature urban performance design with the sleek, minimalist style that Urban Traveller & Co is known for.
- The Citadel 25L Backpack: This flagship model from Black Ember is designed for modern explorers. Known for its modular capabilities, weatherproof construction, and sleek profile, the Citadel is perfect for those who need a reliable backpack for urban commutes or outdoor adventures. With its spacious 25-liter capacity, the Citadel can carry all your essentials in style, now enhanced with the UTC Dune aesthetic.
- The Kompak Crossbody Bag: For those who prefer something more compact, the Kompak sling is the ultimate go-to for a lightweight, versatile, and stylish carry. Designed to fit your everyday necessities, it’s perfect for urban explorers and minimalist travelers alike. This UTC x Black Ember Capsule Collection brings a fresh look to this Black Ember staple, with carefully curated details that reflect the ethos of Urban Traveller & Co.
The UTC x Black Ember Capsule Collection is just the beginning. As we continue the Countdown to X, expect to see more exciting collabs and limited-edition drops with our brand partners.
We're celebrating the little moments with an exclusive pin collection made with metal enamel pin to give it that smooth finish and durability that last a lifetime.
Countdown to X is more than just a series of product launches; it’s a celebration of the community we've built over the years. Every collaboration is a reflection of our shared passion for quality, innovation, and functional design. Each piece in these capsule collections has been carefully crafted with our customers in mind—whether you’re a seasoned EDC enthusiast or just beginning your journey into the world of premium everyday gear.
This countdown is a way for us to say "thank you" to our customers, who have supported us from day one. It’s an invitation to celebrate with us as we take this next step towards the future of Urban Traveller & Co.
As we embark on this exciting year-long celebration, we invite you to follow along as we unveil each collaboration and event. Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter, follow us on social media, and keep an eye on our website for exclusive drops, behind-the-scenes looks at our partnerships, and special promotions throughout the Countdown to X.
