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.

Lanvin presents a unique take on the tote bag for this upcoming Spring/Summer season. Not many details (or pictures, for that matter) were given for the bag. All I know is that it’s made of cotton, silk, and leather. It looks great from the outside, I just wish I could see how it looks on the inside…

Available at colette.

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 bit difficult to acquire in the US.

Available at the Fred Perry Japan online shop.

Among APC’s recently revealed accessories collection are three bags: one small duffle and two shoulder bags. The styling is clean and simple, as expected from the brand. They should be available at APC stores and stockists soon.

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. It’s made of heavy duty and waterproof Cordura nylon and has plenty of compartments, including the now necessary laptop sleeve. What’s not to like?

Rogues Gallery continues the Native American trend with their latest duffel bag. But instead of the usual woven fabrics, they’ve opted to emboss the patterns into leather. The bag also features plenty of heavy duty hardware and an antique linen liner. Overall, an eye-catching, no-frills duffel.

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 cargo. It’s near impossible to explain how it works, so click “more pics” to see the video. With their unique designs and heavy duty materials, I’m excited to see what Mission Workshop has in store for the future.

Lark has created a billfold wallet with fellow Vancouverite, Tannis Hegan. It’s handmade with goat hide and silk lining and even comes with a cotton bag with leather patch. There’s really no use for the bag, but little packaging details like this are often the deciding factor for me when choosing a product. The wallet is vegetable tanned, which means it will become even more beautiful than it already is. Don’t sleep, because only 30 were made!
