MELBOURNE, Australia – September 16, 2025 – Today, Crumpler, the privately owned designer, manufacturer and retailer of bags, outerwear and accessories is thrilled to announce the launch of a new product collaboration with fellow Australian, Amy Taylor, musician and lead singer of Amyl and the Sniffers. The capsule, designed in collaboration with Amy Taylor, features two fish-shaped bags made from approximately 90% recycled fabrics.
“We had been chatting to Amy for a little while about a collaboration, but we weren’t expecting her to ask for a fish!” said Zac Douglas, Crumpler bag designer. “We were all pretty excited to create, work through the design, and test to make sure the fish bag was not only functional but lived up to Amy’s vision.”
The pinnacle product, Micro Plastic Muncher (MSRP $50, plus duty fees), is a lightweight pouch, intentionally designed to be small enough to not fit a phone (also known as the “F&CK YA PHONE” bag). Weighing in at 0.12kg (4.32oz), the bag can hold smaller necessities and includes a removable rope strap for wearing across the body. The second fish bag, Abijah (MSRP $80, plus duty fees), is a larger, 1-liter crossbody for daily essentials and features two main zip opening pockets, internal organization sleeves, and an adjustable crossbody strap with gold anodized aluminum hardware.
“I’m so excited for this collaboration with Crumpler,” Taylor said. “I actually reached out to them asking if they’d want to make a bag that looks like a fish. It was so fun seeing the different samples come through from the designers because some had the strangest expressions. I thought basing it somewhat on a mullet fish was fun for obvious reasons and we named the big one “Abijah” after the guitarist in the band COFFIN who goes scuba diving. The small one was a handy one which is perfect for just your cards and cash, it’s called the “Micro Plastic Muncher” because it’s munching the micro plastic and it’s a pisstake on pollution. But also I like to call it the “f&ck ya phone” for when you just don’t want to take your phone out. I’ve been road testing both bags for about 5 months and love them both. So practical and fun. When they asked what I would have in my bag I said mascara, lipstick, a spare pair of undies in case you stay out the night, cards, and the big one fits phones too so super practical. Crumpler did a great job filling my vision and it’s very exciting to be doing my first collaboration with a brand I respect. The fish is 90% made of recycled materials.”
