The North Face Standard has launched its newest bag collection called 'Wandereic.' The collection consists of four skate-focused carrying items that are equally stylish and functional.
All of the pieces are made with extra-durable base camp duffle fabrics that have been lifted from the label's beloved Expedition series. Headlining the new collection is the Wandereic Pack 20, a sleek and robust backpack that comes equipped with buckle straps that allow wearers to fasten their skate decks to the bag. In addition, the bag features a long and slim profile with several interior compartments, including a dedicated laptop sleeve.
Another standout item is the Wandereic Duffel 70, a more heavy-duty option that was designed for overnight travel. The duffle boasts 72 liters of carrying capacity and features buckle straps on the bottom of the bag, which, again, can be used to easily secure a skateboard.
