Low-key Urban Gear
We engineer highly functional and low-key urban gear with an edge of versatility.
We are located and designed in the suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area in California and manufactured in Vietnam.
OUR STANCE ON DESIGN
Our design process strikes a balance at the intersection of these four factors: function, form, construction, and price.
We will never claim that our designs are "the best" or "the perfect" as these are subjective and elusive standards. Our philosophy centers on defining clear objectives for each product and making decisions tailored to those goals, acknowledging that solutions are not one-size-fits-all.
We are purposefully driven by three core ideas.
-
Pragmatism
We design gear with function and practicality at the forefront, rid of unnecessary features.
-
Ingenuity
We find unique ways to elevate function without compromising form, construction, and price.
-
Community
We serve the niche EDC community without any investor funding, which allows us to make gear we truly believe in.
Designed in California, From Singapore
We are based in San Francisco, California, but originally from Singapore. As Singaporeans, we are practical and brutally honest.
I have a background in data analytics, which makes me the "business" person at Rework. Zhi on the other hand is our product designer since his background is in Mechanical Engineering. And... we're siblings!
We feel there is a disproportionate focus on "premium" in the bag industry where we're trending towards excessively technical materials and construction that are unnecessary in our bags. We created Rework with the intention of putting practicality back on the table.
