Militaristic Winter-Ready Bag Capsules

Maharishi Introduces a Capsule of M.A.L.I.C.E. Bags

— January 4, 2024 — Art & Design
Hardy Blechman presents the new range of M.A.L.I.C.E. Bags under Maharishi to round out the last of the 30th-anniversary celebrations. The collection is made up of winter-ready looks highlighted by industrial bags and other small accessories.

In an Instagram caption, the brand explains, “The ALICE system dates back to the mid-70s – a harness-based design which allows for weight to be distributed evenly across a soldier’s shoulders, waist and hips. These carrying systems served the U.S. Military for over 20 years before the first round of modifications." The entire capsule features lightweight and durable designs using the construction of Flight Nylon. This has a lightweight feel and water-repellent feature, which is inspired by the classic MA-1 flight jackets.
