Neutral Burnt Belt Bags

Rick Owens DRKSHDW Line Introduces the New Alien Patch Belt Bag

— March 2, 2019 — Luxury
Rick Owens's diffusion label DRKSHDW recently introduces a new accessory item that is predominantly simplistic in design entitled the 'Alien Patch Belt Bag.' The bag is set to be a part of the label's overall Spring/Summer 2019 selection and it is inspired by both youth culture and paranormal activity. The opposing concepts are translated through visual graphic imprints complete in a gritty manner.

The actual structure of the piece is a nod to pop culture, especially during the warmer seasons. The Alien Patch Belt Bag is constructed from cream canvas materials and is features tattered drawstrings for a deconstructed look along with a burnt laminated window of what seems to be a photographic print of a young child. It is complete with a zipper pouch inside and an external pocket enclosed with velcro, rounded out with a plastic clip around the bag.
