Fringed Tailored Backpacks

The Christopher Shannon x Cambridge Satchel Company Collection is Bold

— June 26, 2012 — Fashion
The Christopher Shannon x Cambridge Satchel Company collection is sleek, yet full of whimsical details. The color-blocked backpack-style satchel captures the refined nature of the brand's iconic bag with an oh-so Christopher Shannon twist.

The buckles have been cut with a serrated silhouette and playful fringe has been decked out across the front. Textures and finishes have been intermixed, giving these statement bags a bold and brash makeover. While the popularized Cambridge Satchel is designed to be worn like a purse, Shannon decided a backpack was more appropriate for his menswear following. The tailored rucksack is roomy and sturdy enough to carry even the heaviest of books.

Vibrant yet polished, the Christopher Shannon x Cambridge Satchel Company collection is a quirky collaboration.
