Traveling was never as effortless as it should be. I had a beautiful leather bag — but it couldn’t be secured over my suitcase handle. Every trip turned into a small balancing act: keeping the bag from slipping, holding onto coffee, tickets, and other essentials, always with my hands full and my mind half-focused on not dropping something. It was stressful — and it made me realize there had to be a better way.

When I couldn’t find a smart and well-designed solution, I decided to create one myself. What started as a personal frustration turned into a design challenge — and ultimately, a purpose. Over the next three years, countless prototypes and decisions shaped the foundation of FLYNKA. Collaborating with the Munich-based design agency Fluid (wearefluid.com) turn a simple idea into a refined, functional product: the Urban Travel Carabiner.

By the end of 2024, our first prototypes caught the attention of Swiss Airlines and Lufthansa, who became our first customers. Since June 2025, we’ve been officially on the market — with a clear goal: to build a sustainable, growing brand that redefines travel essentials.The Urban Travel Carabiner is only the beginning — the first step toward a thoughtfully designed, diverse product range that makes travel simpler, smarter, and more inspiring. FLYNKA stands for premium travel accessories from Munich for the world — designed to make traveling simpler, calmer, and more beautiful.
