Visvim has released new versions of their Ballistic backpacks, this time in 23 and 20 liter sizes. The Japanese brand is one of my favorites; their Ballistic collection of bags is famous for its heavy duty materials and user-friendly design. Season after season, I’ve seen Visvim release amazing bags from this collection, but I think [...]

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. Available at Zozovilla Checkout the rest [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Here’s another unique cyclist-inspired backpack, this time from Fred Perry and Japanese brand Resistant. The front of the bag is very simple, adorned only with huge cross straps meant to hold a bike wheel. The inside seems to be a classic rucksack design with some sleeves for organization. It’s a great bag, but unfortunately a [...]

An oversized, multifunctional bag from Diet Butcher Slim Skin. Available at Blackbird.

I’ve recently decided to cut down on the amount of Japan-only bags I blog about, mainly because of how difficult it is for outsiders to acquire them. But this backpack is just too good to ignore. Glamb has just released their Drome backpack, an outdoors inspired bag that’s been slimmed down for casual everyday use. [...]

Mission Workshop is a new company from the founders of Chrome, and their first bag is the Vandal Backpack. This unique and extremely functional bag was designed with cyclists in mind, but anybody could make good use of it. It has a sleek silhouette, but when needed, it can expand to hold ridiculous amounts of [...]

Call me bland, but grey is one of my favorite colors (along with black and beige). Combine that with my favorite bag and you have the latest Visvim collection. The Ballistic trio includes the 20L backpack, 18L E-Cat Messenger Bag, and Bi-Fold wallet. The only thing missing is the in-between sized 8L Lumbar Bag. They [...]
