Peak Design's City Line Bags Feature Built-In BagLev Hooks to Keep Them Off the Ground

Peak Design, a San Francisco-based camera gear manufacturer, has launched a new City Line of bags featuring an integrated hook system it calls BagLev. The hook is designed to let users hang their bag from chairs, ledges, countertops, or other surfaces rather than placing it on the floor. The feature addresses a common hygiene concern, as bags frequently pick up dirt and germs from subway floors, sidewalks, and other public surfaces. Peak Design named the system BagLev, a reference to the bag appearing to levitate above dirty ground. The City Line includes at least a crossbody bag and a backpack, both equipped with the BagLev hook.
