Founded in Norway in 2009 by freeski legend Jon Olsson and engineer Truls Brataas, Db (formerly Db Journey) was created to rethink how travel gear should function. The mission was clear: build modular, durable bags that adapt to modern movement — from airports and alpine terrain to city streets.
What began in Oslo quickly became one of the most design-forward travel brands in Europe. Db has earned multiple ISPO design awards and six Norwegian Gaselle awards, recognizing rapid growth and innovation. Despite global expansion, the company remains independently operated — focused on product evolution rather than mass-market volume.
Db’s identity blends Scandinavian minimalism with technical precision. Expect clean silhouettes, reinforced construction, and modular systems engineered for flexibility. Many Db backpacks and roller bags integrate hook-up systems that allow multiple pieces to connect seamlessly — a design innovation that set the brand apart early on.
Materials are selected for resilience and long-term performance. Structured laptop compartments, water-resistant fabrics, impact-protective shells, and thoughtful storage layouts make Db gear equally functional for creatives, athletes, and frequent travelers. The aesthetic leans into modern gorpcore — understated, architectural, and purpose-driven.
At Gallery Streetwear, Db fits naturally alongside performance-led brands like On., New Balance, and Gramicci — merging utility with cultural awareness.
