Not everything in life always flows smoothly, calmly, and relaxed. Sometimes you have to run, and run a lot. Sometimes the pace accelerates, your hands need to be free, your body in motion. It's in these moments that small insights make the difference.
In the photo, you see a simple hook holding the two laces together at the center of the chest. This little carabiner—which we at Papella affectionately call the "Ubaldo hook," after the person who had this brilliant idea—is much more than an accessory.
In the bag version: your perfect ally
When the two straps are joined at the chest with the Ubaldo hook, the bag fits like a glove. The load is evenly distributed across the back and, especially when the bag is full and heavy, the perceived weight is significantly reduced.
This makes it indispensablein many situations:
- Long walks and trekking
- Manual jobs where freedom of movement is required
- Vigorous activity such as running or skiing
- Any time you can't afford for the stock to go down or move
The brilliant idea? Even in the most intense moments, there's no need to take off your bag and leave it somewhere. Just convert it into a duffel bag, attach the carabiner to your chest, and anything becomes possible.
In the shoulder bag or clutch version
The Ubaldo hook has another practical function: it serves to join the two laces, reducing the risk of them getting caught somewhere. A detail that makes all the difference in everyday life.
The third strategic carabiner
The Papella has two laces and therefore two main carabiners. This third carabiner—the Ubaldo hook—is located along one of the two laces, always ready for use when needed.
A simple idea that offers infinite benefits. Thank you, Ubaldo, for teaching us that with a little, you can achieve a lot.
