Whether it's work or a workout, the "URBAN GYM COLLECTION" from Briefing is the perfect choice for active people.

The unprecedented fitness boom continues. Whether as part of a healthy lifestyle or as a hobby, it seems that more and more people are engaging in fitness activities, regardless of the type or scale.

Amid all this, we received some news from the bag brand *BRIEFING*.

Did you know that 〈Briefing〉 has a series called “URBAN GYM COLLECTION”? The brand offers a line of bags based on the concept of “workout gear that transitions seamlessly from work to the gym,” and the collection has just been revamped.

The lineup has been further expanded, with items now organized into two categories: “URBAN GYM” and “URBAN GYM LIGHT.” Let’s take a look at each one.

The “URBAN GYM” lineup features a total of seven styles: three backpacks, two tote bags, and two duffel bags. All models except the Boston S come with a laptop compartment, allowing you to neatly carry everything you need for your workout—from shoes to small accessories.

GYM TOTE WIDE ¥41,800

GYM BOSTON M ¥38,500

GYM PACK S ¥39,600

GYM PACK M ¥45,100

GYM PACK L BLACK ¥47,300

GYM TOTE TALL ¥ 40,700

GYM BOSTON S ¥26,400

In particular, the “GYM PACK” line has expanded its size options to include S and M, allowing you to choose the right size based on your intended use and the amount of gear you need to carry. It features multiple zippered pockets, so you can organize your items by category, and includes details that make it convenient for commuting by bike or train. It’s perfect not only for workouts at the gym but also for a wide range of activities, including yoga, Pilates, golf, and swimming. From work to sports, this lineup offers options to suit every lifestyle.

The material used is “CORDURA® LAYER,” which is soft and lightweight yet highly durable. The fabric itself is breathable and water-repellent, making it designed to easily repel water and dirt. The reverse side features a tricot fabric composed of a fine looped weave. Combined with a moisture-permeable, waterproof coating, this design allows internal moisture to escape while preventing water from penetrating from the outside.

If you look closely, the shape is also striking. Drawing inspiration from the structure of a paper balloon, we fine-tuned the placement of the zippers and the design of each component down to the finest details. The result is a unique shape that accentuates the three-dimensional effect at the top and the distinctive silhouette.

In terms of design, the brand’s iconic red line has been deliberately omitted, and webbing tape has been arranged vertically to create a minimalist and sophisticated look. Power mesh is used for the side pockets, and tucks at the bottom ensure both a three-dimensional shape and ample storage capacity. Furthermore, the bottoms of both the tote bag and the Boston bag feature a separate shoe compartment distinct from the main compartment. This design allows users to store not only shoes but also items such as a change of clothes separately.

Next up is the “URBAN GYM LIGHT” collection. Designed with the idea of moving around the gym and carrying only the essentials, this line features a more compact size and lighter design than the “URBAN GYM” collection, making it ideal not only for workouts but also for travel and local outings. The lineup consists of a total of six styles: two shoulder bags, one tote bag, two shoulder bags, and one pouch.

UGL CROSS BODY S ¥12,100
*All items below are available in two colors: BLACK and L.GRAY.

UGL CROSS BODY M ¥16,500

UGL DRAWSTRING PACK ¥23,100

UGL MINI BONSACK ¥13,200

UGL DRAWSTRING POUCH ¥9,900

The drawstring pouch design has been adopted as a common theme across the series, retaining the unique, paper-balloon-like shape that defines “URBAN GYM.” Despite its lightweight and compact size, this lineup allows you to enjoy the three-dimensional look and distinctive design that are hallmarks of this collection.

The material is made from recycled nylon derived from manufacturing waste generated at factories, woven into a ripstop fabric with a grid-like pattern. While lightweight, it is resistant to tearing and abrasion, offering the durability needed for a bag carried daily. Furthermore, a CO water-repellent finish makes it easy to shed water droplets and dirt, allowing you to carry items that may get wet—whether during a sudden rain shower or at the gym.

Take a closer look at the details. Twill tape is incorporated throughout, creating a soft, supple texture that tones down the rugged look and gives the bag a smooth, airy feel. The inner pocket is made of mesh, ensuring visibility so you can see the items inside at a glance. The exterior features a pocket with a logo motif, and when combined with the drawstring closure, it creates a rounded silhouette for the entire bag.

Whether you look at its functionality or its design, it’s the perfect bag to support your workouts.
