Research
The research designing the DA26 Arch is centered on studying the lifestyle of specific target users.

A series of prototypes of Both the bag and accompanying accessories were then built and road-tested to help designer fine-tune the design, ensuring that the product is practical to use in the real world.
Inspiration
