The Journey That Built This Bag: How the All Court Backpack Came to Exist

The All Court Backpack didn't start as a brief. It started as a frustration.

For ten years we made racquet bags. Good ones, by the standards of racquet bags — the Racquet Bag Voyager still earns 4.78★ across 756 verified reviews, and the original Original Racquet Bag is what most of our long-term customers started with. But racquet bags solve one problem: they hold racquets. They don't solve the rest of a player's week.

By 2024, we kept hearing the same thing from customers. "I love the Voyager, but I can't carry my laptop in it." "I want a backpack that fits my racquet without looking like a tennis bag." "I commute to work, then play after, and I need one bag that does both." The pattern was clear. We were building bags for the court when our customers needed bags for the life around the court.

The Brief, As It Emerged

• Carry 2 racquets without looking like a racquet bag.
• Hold a 16'' laptop, protected.
• Fit standard airline carry-on dimensions.
• Connect to the modular system we'd already built around the Voyager.
• Be wearable to a meeting without anyone needing to ask what sport you played.
• Have a rain cover, because most of our customers travel.

The Year of Prototyping

The first prototype was a hybrid the wrong way — racquet bag with backpack straps clipped on. It looked like neither. The second moved the laptop sleeve too close to the racquet compartment, and the third had a clip system that didn't load-bear properly. The fourth got the proportions right but the materials wrong. The fifth was the All Court Backpack.

The pattern across all five was the same: every customer feedback loop pushed us toward subtraction. Fewer pockets. Cleaner silhouette. Less branding. The final design has nine fewer features than the first prototype.

What It Carries Now

The All Court Backpack launched at $249 and earned 4.73★ across 308 verified reviews in its first six months. It carries up to 2 racquets, a 16'' laptop, a change of clothes, and clips into the rest of the Cancha modular system — add a Wet-Dry Bag for the gym, a Day Bag XL for travel, a Sling Bag for the essentials.

It exists because the people we built racquet bags for asked us to build them something else. That's a better brief than anything we'd have come up with on our own.
