Back in February 2013 the Alexander Wang Samsung Galaxy collaboration was born. Now, the fashionable tech bag that people have been waiting for will finally be available on Alexander Wang's website starting August 22, 2013. The tote is known as the 'Wallie' and it's a gym bag made from lambskin and complete with a drawstring.
To make this bag possible and extremely authentic, the talented designer asked friends, photographers and stylists who are all Samsung Galaxy users to create doodles on their phones. He then combined doodles as inspiration to create the bag's look.
Alexander Wang shares, "This collaboration is a great example of how technology and style can come together in an unexpected but really meaningful way," as proceeds from the sales will go to the Art Start charity, funding art programs for kids.
