18-litre capacityWater-resistant fabricCut-resistant anti-slash constructionLockable zippersRFID-shielded card pocketPadded shoulder strapsFits up to 15.6-inch laptopLightweight build

The Venture 18L is the smallest anti-theft backpack in the line and the one to choose when you don't want a 20L+ bag for a smaller daily load. The wide fold-top opens flat for full visibility while you pack, then folds and clips closed to make casual access from the outside meaningfully harder. Anti-cut webbing, lockable zips, an RFID-shielded card pocket, and dedicated tech sleeves are the same security build as the Commuter 20L — just two litres smaller and a centimetre slimmer.

    DETAILS
    • Wide fold-top opening + quick-access front pocket. Pack and grab without fishing through a small zip.
    • Anti-theft set: lockable zips + anti-cut webbing + RFID card pocket. Same security layer as the Commuter 20L.
    • 15" laptop sleeve + tablet sleeve. Padded and separated.
    • Trolley pass-through. For airport days when you don't need 26L.
    • 18L compact shape. Sits flatter against the back than larger commuter bags.
    • 980g empty. Slightly heavier than Flow because of the anti-theft webbing.

    For commuters who don't carry much (but still carry a laptop) and want their bag to feel proportional to their actual load.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Why pick this over the Commuter 20L? Smaller silhouette and fold-top access; same security hardware. Choose Venture if you don't fill a 20L bag and prefer the look.

    Does the fold-top stay closed without the clip? Yes — magnetic flap holds it; the clip adds positive security.

    Will a 15" Surface fit? Yes — fits 15" devices; 16" requires a slim profile (no case).

    My daughter bought me the flow everyday back pack & it’s been perfect for me for when I have to go to my boot camp then straight to work this week. I was excited to find out it’s an Aussie brand as we like to support local where we can.

    The only thing missing in my opinion is some thoughtful organising pockets. I bought this bag to replace my Samsonite (the straps went completely flat) and I’m really missing the spots for pens and smaller items. Otherwise, it’s fabulous. It looks great. It’s roomy. Straps are robust. I’m happy.

    Hi Kimberly, thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're glad you love the bag's look and feel. Your suggestion about organising pockets is really helpful, and we'll keep it in mind for future designs. We're happy you're happy with your purchase! Thank you for your support!

    Solid build and seems to have a lot more space than you think. Definitely good for overnight work travel, if you want to travel lightly

    Comfortable fit with a great array of pockets to get everything in. I was hoping it was an open space inside but it has a laptop pocket which does cut down the size of things I can get in there. Still a great back pack.

    Great little bag. Has all the protection needed for a cross body bag for traveling. I would like a softer color, the black is very heavy looking especially when traveling in Summer, olive or dark grey, tan maybe. I bought this for my partner he seemed happy with it.

    The bag is great, I highly recommend it. After my ipad was stolen last month from my bag on the train, this Emmeton one really hits the spot. It is super-comfortable to carry, and it's easy to access my gear. It's sstylishupewr, I enjoy showing it off at work.

    Really pleased with the Venture Anti-theft 18L backpack that I bought. The quality of the bag is high-end and it has plenty of capacity for my needs (using for work gear and gym). Knowing the quality of the products, I would go back to emmeton again

    I’m using the backpack to travel to South Africa and I couldn’t be happier, each part of the pack has been cleverly designed for ease, weight and comfort. So different to other backpacks on the market.

    Brilliant bag. Large enough to hold iPad (just) and very well engineered with safety features like the clip that holds a zipper end. Enough compartments to stow various things in a bag that’s still quite small and easy to sling over a shoulder. Looks good too - pretty sleek. I get why the drink holder can be stowed away in its own little zippered compartment. Time will tell how useful it is. Bought it specifically for travel. Quality build, so was impressed with the price. Lower than bags not nearly as good.

    It’s absolutely amazing, if you are after a durable bag that has amazing functions and loads of pockets and super practical then check out the Anti Theft 26L backpack.

    I use this for my morning commute to work in the Sydney CBD.

    I feel super safe with using it and it looks super casual and chill out with the public.

    I would 10/10 recommend you get one
