The day I had enough of changing bags almost every two weeks!
I was hurrying to reach my service area despite my shoulder being tormented by the weight of my bag, when suddenly its strap broke, letting it fall to the ground with a crash, scattering all my equipment and leaving colleagues and patients astonished.
Humiliated and frustrated by what had just happened, I reminisced while picking up my belongings with a lump in my stomach about the dozens of bags I had tried over my last 7 years of service as an RN at Royal Melbourne Hospital.
Finding a good nursing bag is a real battle!
All the bags were as poorly designed as each other. Bags that were always too small, severely lacking in organization, and just as uncomfortable, causing pain and being non-washable.
Suddenly on the verge of tears, an idea crossed my mind. I realized that the ideal nurse's bag still needed to be created. At that moment, one thing was clear: there was no way I would spend another penny on one of these bags. In that case, I had to create one!
With the help of colleagues from my department and in partnership with a small family bag business named Pragma Style, we created a bag that would solve all the problems we, nurses, face in our everyday life.
During its design, we identified 6 fundamental points to adhere to design the perfect nurse's bag:
Storage
Functionality
Comfort
Durability
Style
From these 6 points, the Converta bag was born. A bag whose sole purpose is to be an infallible ally in our nursing profession, allowing us to devote 100% to what matters, our patients.
Discover how the Converta bag will make your nursing work easier.
Transport, organize, and access essentials quickly for your shift.

No matter the type of nursing position you hold, we all have a lot of essential things to carry for our shifts. The Converta bag allows you to eliminate the second and third bags.
Pockets for a quick and easy grab when needed!
The Converta has 12 pockets evenly distributed around its perimeter, allowing you to sort, find, and quickly access what you need. It can easily fit a clipboard, notebook, blood pressure cuff & stethoscope holder, spare change of clothes, and even your lunchbox, water bottle, and a 15-inch laptop.
Its main compartment closes with sturdy zippers that last long. It stands upright on its own and has a rigid bottom. It also fits in the vast majority of lockers.
Here is a list of its pockets:
1 Large front exterior zipper pocket
1 Large rear exterior zipper pocket
2 Side exterior bottle holders
3 Mesh interior pockets
4 Large vertical interior pockets
1 Interior pocket with zipper
Super functional and comfortable

With all that we have to carry and the length of our shifts, regular shoulder bags quickly become painful and a source of pain for our shoulders, neck, and back.
That's why the Converta bag is convertible. It can be worn in 4 different ways, allowing you to adapt its carrying position according to your needs and weight.
Conversion, the key to comfort
When heavy, wear it as a backpack to better distribute its load and avoid neck, shoulder, and back pain. Otherwise, prefer the tote bag or crossbody bag position when you need to keep your items at hand.
Removable straps
The Converta comes with two adjustable and removable straps. They allow you to carry it as a backpack with both or use only one to wear as a crossbody bag.
The straps are long enough to be worn with a coat, and their width allows for better load distribution for more comfort. Moreover, their attachments have been reinforced, never to break.

Designed for hard working healthcare staff!
As you know, as nurses, our bags are put to the test. With the ton of items we are obliged to carry, the seams and structure of our bags are severely tested.
The Converta bag is made of canvas fabric, a material that is both very light and very resistant to tears and cuts. For added strength, its seams and structure have been reinforced.
Machine Washable

To facilitate its hygiene, we designed the Converta bag to be machine washable, essential for getting rid of unwanted germs and bacteria.
Stylish and a certified head-turner
The Converta bag has a unique and trendy look that gives it a professional appearance both in the hospital and outside.
To add even more elegance and style to the Converta bag, we designed its handles with sturdy vegan leather. In addition to being very resistant and comfortable, they are retractable. This unique feature completely clears access when you take your items inside and allows for more comfort when carrying it.
With thousands of verified 5-star reviews, the Converta bag has proven to be a valuable aid to health workers.
More than 9,000 Australian healthcare workers have already improved their organisation, facilitated their travel, and increased their work efficiency thanks to the Converta bag. Discover what some of them had to say about it.
BEST NURSE BAG!!!
The absolute best nurse bag I've ever purchased! Sadly, I carry alot of stuff with me to work and I'll have multiple bags or a heavy bag. With THIS tote, the same amount of stuff feels weightless. I guess it's due to the multiple pockets and compartments. I LOVE MY BAG! ❤️
