Crumpler Store

Unfortunately the store is closing however everything in the store is 70% off so you can get some incredible deals. Very high quality awesome looking luggage.

I second the previous review. The zip broke on my two-​year-​old Crumpler Yee Ross after heavy RTW travelling use, and when I was in NY I brought it to the SoHo store to ask about getting it fixed. But the super-​nice Aussie guy there replaced it with a brand new bag on the spot!
Lifetime customer earned, despite the premium price of the bags. I’ve since bought several more of their products. Fair go mates.

About a year ago I purchased my first Crumpler bag, the Pinnacle of Horror. I loved it… until the main zipper broke a few days ago.
Knowing that Crumpler products had a lifetime warranty, I popped by the shop on Spring Street to see if they could help me out. I expected a bit of hassle: producing a receipt which I didn’t have, having to send my bag off for repairs, etc. None of that happened. Instead, the friendly clerk just said that he’d replace it with a brand new bag on the spot! How awesome is that? No hassle, just a brand new bag!
As it turned out, they didn’t have my color in stock, so they special ordered it for me. The next day, they called to confirm it had been ordered. By the day after that, they had my bag in store and it was a done deal.
Bravo to Crumpler for honestly delivering on a lifetime warranty! They made it dead easy for me to return the broken product and get a new one with absolutely zero hassle. All retailers should follow this as a lesson, as it’s made me a lifetime customer.

I was really excited to have my Crumpler experience and check out their trendy bags. In short I was highly disappointed. I am a bag whore, a bag enthusiast if you will. These bags are not impressive and highly over priced. I think people must get blinded by the huge price tag and think they are getting something cool to show off. I did not anything I feet was new, useful or innovative other than the tiny matchbook they give out as a business card.
It is worth walking into the store because piled in the back they had some really nice laptop cases for blow out at $ 5. If you must purchases something make sure you check in with Unilocal for a %10 off coupon.

Thank you girl at Crumpler store for introducing me to John Maus.

The Crumpler store on Spring St is small but inviting. There is not a lot of convoluted décor or furnishings and their bags are arranged in a way that allows you to easily check out their offerings. I also liked that the sales staff let us browse without hovering or being too overbearing. I was in the store specifically to check out some of the camera bags that I saw online. The salesperson was extremely helpful and seemed quite knowledgeable about their products. She was able to point out all the bags that I was interested in and offer some customer feedback regarding the different bags. Unfortunately, they did not have one of the bags that I wanted to check out in stock so she suggested that we check out their other location.
She also told us about a Crumpler pop-​up location at 52 University Place which was selling some of Crumpler’s 2012 inventory at 30−70% off. Since Crumpler bags can be rather pricey and rarely go on sale, we were excited to hear about this sale. She informed us that the sale would be going on for the next few weeks. I thought it was nice of the salesperson to tell us about the sale.
Tip: Selection at the Crumpler pop-​up location was limited but we did score a 5 million dollar camera bag for $ 30! I already have one but just couldn’t resist the price. retails for $ 100!

Well it’s a little late now, because they have other plans for this location, but excellent bags and currently crazy amounts on sale. Go and buy whatever they have left, so good, and now waaay cheaper than the impulse-​buy threshold!

One who ventures into a Crumpler retail store can be generally described as an educated consumer. He doesn’t stumble upon it, but instead seeks it. So a label like Crumpler doesn’t need the glitz and glamour to woo a window-​shopper; all that’s required is a simple merchandise set-​up and a prime location.
The entire right wall has all their products arranged neatly on shelves, beginning with their prized ‘million-​dollar’ camera bags. I never went beyond 10 feet in the store because I found what I needed in under three minutes.

My new «Moderate Embarrassment» laptop bag is only a few hours old, but I am already in love with it. It sits perfectly on my shoulder and my waist, and feels very light. Katie was my shepherd, and her enthusiasm for Crumpler was infectious.
(Fwiw, I also looked at the bags at Brooklyn Industries. They weren’t bad, but Crumpler’s look better and I have more faith in their quality, if only because bags are their specialty.)

This place was awesome at one time. Love the bags, not so happy with the customer device during the week. Most of the people are pretty cool and really into their product but lately it seems more uptight. Too bad this store will be closing soon, the other store is out of the way and seems like a poor marketing decision.
They still make great bags. Buy online maybe.

SHORT: Please turn off your computer and head to SoHo! You really won’t be disappointed. It’s one of the best $ 65s I’ve ever spent in my life! Even if you don’t like it, you will at least get some exercise after munching on a yummy croissant at Ceci-​Cela right near the Crumpler Store.
LONG: At the expense of «eww“ing you guys; finding this place was like going to the restroom after enduring hours of «I really need to pee!!» feeling.
I have been looking for a small, everyday (laptop) bag for a looonnng time (almost 2 years now) and honestly my closet is like a cemetery of under-​$ 20 Made-​In-​China laptop bags from Marshall’s or Filene’s etc. I just couldn’t find «The One» and the ones I liked were like $ 200 Tumi or Samsonite bags.
And, after getting a dirty look (actually many of them!) from my mom about the pile of small laptop bags in my closet, I decided to do a research and found this place. I’ve visited all; Filene’s, Marshall’s, Nordstrom Rack, Luggage Source. Even to Prada where I gulped when I learned the price… You name it I’ve been there…
So, we went to the Crumpler store and looked around. It’s cute and simple. I love not having to choose from 200 different kinds of bags. Anyways, as soon as I saw the small 13-​inch black messenger laptop bag on the shelf, I knew this was «it».
Yes, it was $ 65. But, I’ve probably spent way over $ 200 on the cheap ones from the department stores. I absolutely love my laptop bag. It’s cute & small, but big enough to accomadate my laptop, couple of books etc. Just what I needed.
OK, STOP READING THE REVIEWS and JUST BUY IT! You will seriously love it!

I stayed in SoHo two years ago and I had just bought a laptop but not a laptop bag as of yet.
I came across this store while walking through Nolita and the bag I bought was the best investment I could have ever made!
The quality is excellent after these last two years and EVERYONE loves my bag! I actually saw my same back on an episode on ‘24’.
Great buy, highly recommended !!!

Crumpler = quality
An australian company that sells a wide range of bags and does them WELL. I originally looked to crumpler for a laptop sleeve i bought 6 years ago. I have added several more crumplers to my collection including a 6 million dollar home, mahoubar, complete seed, and the photobucket for complete seed. I have used the camera bags to haul enough to do a walk-​around shoot, or as much as a wedding shoot.
The store is a great place to look at all the curmpler gear and to try on the different sizes (they usually have several sizes for each model, called different names that are fun). It is a small storefront, but they have everything inside. I like popping my head in to look at the new line — who knows, maybe a «serious barge» is in my future?
Back to the bags. I have several messenger style bags and i have to say of my timbuk2, reload, chrome, and crumpler, the crumpler is my go-​to photo bag. I use my chrome to commute with regularly, but when i need a little more space, the crumpler complete seed is perfect.

Stopped in today. Needed a laptop messenger since the trusty backpack just wasn’t cutting it in the city. It’s too bulky for the subway and tends to accumulate cruft.
Picked up a Considerable Embarassment for 20% off because there was a mark on it. The sales person was extremely helpful and friendly, and, tbh, I just really liked the little store.

i am a bit obsessed with bags, and crumpler is nirvana for me. i think right now i own about 10 bags from crumpler, and they all see frequent use and stand up to abuse without falling apart. bags vary from run of the mill to interesting and unique colorways, strong fabrics, heavey duty straps, lots of velcro and luxurious interiors. the bags have silly names, but it makes them easier to identify i guess. quality does not come cheap — but it is reasonable for protecting the gear you love.
one thing though — last time i was at the sprint street store i asked if they had a case that would hold my asus 10″ netbook and they looked at me like i was an alien from another planet — netbook? no. we only make bags for apple computers. funny — the crumpler europe site lists non-​apple netbook cases, i guess america doesn’t get all the bag choices.
if you need a computer bag, camera bag, messenger bag, any bag. stop in here — or the crumpler store on the west side where they can sew up a custom design for you.

The camera bags are what really make them special. The messenger and laptop bag are good too. Made out of tough materials with padding and lots of pockets.
They had a great sale over the holidays.

A cute Soho outpost that sells quality camera, laptop bags. I recently acquired the 5 million dollar house for my DSLR… very ergonomic. The salesperson was very knowledgeable and patient while I debated between the 5 and 6 million dollar houses (even if it was within the last 30 min of closing).
Sign up for their email mailing list. Sounds like they have some great promotions once in a blue moon that come as quickly as they go.

I love the bags. I have a bag for my iPod and my dslr.
The store itself is small, but it really doesn’t need to be really big, does it?
Don’t miss the beer for bags promotion during the summer.

Totally cool bags that they have. I got one of their older version bag called «Next Venue». Thinking about getting the 7 Million Dollar Home or the Whickey & Cox. I loved the names of their bags. It’s unique and totally zany on what they come up with.
Their catalogs are too funny and totally original. Gotta check out the uncensored version. Their lines of bags are very cool and stylish. Totally my kind of bags.
My next purchase will be a laptop bag or a messenger style bag, don’t know which color to go with, but thank goodness they don’t have a girlie color.

The bags and cell phone holders are colorful even if a little baggy. Here are three things I liked about the store:
1) Friendly service with a smile
2) The logo
3) The (free) mini match boxes with the logo – incredibly cute.
