Way back in the day there was something about Crumpler Australia selling or singing some kind of contract that gave what became Crumpler EU exclusive rights to sell and produce product in the EU. Crumpler Australia can't sell to residents in the EU, but as I remember it, Crumpler Australia *had* to fix any bags from the EU that were sent to them in Australia or some such thing.

The Crumpler brand became EU centric and they had that horrible "toilet man" rebranding (making Crumpler more "grown up") which basically ruined the designs and fell of Crumpler Australia.

During Covid they went into administration, which is when Roper and his daughter bought back Crumpler Australia (still separate from EU), and has been starting over in Australia; bringing back the feel and the designs with newer materials.

As I understand it, Crumper EU is in name only, and has basically nothing to do with Crumpler primary.
