Uniform Experiment has taken notice of the carabiner’s recent ubiquity and created their own versions. With their leather or zirconia embellishments and triple key rings, it’s debatable whether these are more fashion or function. Personally, I think the zirconia comes off as girly, but I’d fuck with the leather ones.

Undercover’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, entitled Less But Better, includes a backpack and rucksuck, both very unique in form and color. As implied by the name, the bags are minimalistic but eye-catching. I’ve recently been loving the combination of grey and brown, and the above backpack just fuels this passion.

The “large” in the title is an understatement. This is something I’d never use, but I admire Oak’s boldness in creating such an impractical bag. It does come in medium and small, but large is the only one worth noting.

Mismo presented their latest collection at last weekend’s (capsule) show in New York and will be showing it again this weekend at (capsule) Paris. The bags feature a Mismo-exclusive full grain leather, which exude quality. The laptop briefcase is easily the most exciting bag from the collection.

Ever since grade school, I’ve thought of Jansport bags as reliable but ugly. But their recent offerings (especially their collaboration with HUF) have started to change that last sentiment. Jansport’s Urban Framework collection takes the brand back to their outdoor roots while giving the bags an urban look. Oddly enough, the pictures I’m showing you (which are from Hypebeast), feature a beautiful charcoal/brown/brass colorway that isn’t on the official website. And the two colorways that they decided to show on their website happen to be terrible. Marketing flaws aside, I like the direction that Jansport is going with their products and I’m excited to see what else they have in store.

Visvim is starting the year off right with their latest Veggie Collection, which includes two brand new bags! Along with the already famous Ballistic 20L backpack, the brand is introducing the 22L Rucksack and the Lumbar Mini, a smaller version of the 8L Lumbar waist bag. The collection is available in the black/black colorway or the bright-but-beautiful blue/brown. Visvim’s previous bags have become staples within the menswear/streetwear community and I can easily see these two becoming instant classics.

Oversized and slouchy seems to be the current style among high-fashion backpacks and Diet Butcher Slim Skin continues the trend with their latest offering. The D93G263 backpack is made of cotton blend with a nubuck bottom and features cowskin and chrome details. The bag has one large main compartment, an exterior zipper pocket, and most interestingly, another (sort of) exterior zipper pocket that is pressed against the wearer’s back. I’m not a huge fan of the oversized, slouchy backpacks, but this quality materials and high functionality of this one earn my approval.

The new Sam Cycle Bag from Property Of… looks unassuming on first glance, but opening the front flap reveals all of its zippery, waxed-cotton, veggie-tanned-leather goodness. Looks like another great everyday bag from the Singaporean brand.
