Streetwear imprint AAPE by a Bathing Ape works in collaboration with accessory experts Eastpak on a collection full of camo-heavy accessories. The range highlights three silhouettes that are classic to Eastpak, the 'PADDED' backpack, the 'SPRINGER' waist bag, and the 'TRANVERZ M' luggage.
The collaborative range highlights two of each silhouette, adorning it in the recognizable camo patterning that is drawn from AAPE. Notably, each accessory arrives in the tonal options of either green or black. Additional patterning that decorates the bags includes co-branding accents of both contributing labels, the signature Moon Face' emblem and more. The backpack boasts a padded compartment to hold a laptop, the waist bag features an adjustable strap and hidden back pocket, and the luggage also comes with mini shoulder bags attached.
