Founded in 1960, Eastpak has been one of North America's leading backpack manufacturers, cementing itself as a brand that takes its travel-ready accessories serious, and so it only makes sense that Eastpak's recent collaboration with designer Frederic Hakoune sees this durable travel gear producer taking a futuristic approach to promoting its old-fashioned morals with this 'Bag in Town' travel chest.
Eastpak is notorious for its luggage, backpacks and other travel accessories that each come with a 30-year warranty. So as a nod to Eastpaks' long standing commitment to reliable products and impeccable customer service, the Bag in Town travel chest is a sleek, indoor and outdoor ready cabinet that carries enough drawers for any stylish traveler on-the-go.
By retro-fitting an old-fashioned product like a travel chest in a chic, modern frame, Frederic Hakoune and Eastpak are taking one of the most luxurious and neglected travel neccesities of the past into the future.
