After A Bathing Ape unveiled its branded fur carriers just a few months ago, the Japanese streetwear brand is back with a new BAPE backpack, this time utilizing its iconic primate-entwined camouflage design.
This release follows a fleece bomber jacket as well, which made use of a similar pattern, albeit with a slightly different color scheme. For the new BAPE backpack, the brand constructs the masculine carrier from premium leather, giving it a refined appearance that makes its wearer standout.
Further adding to this are gold zippers and plates that adorn the durable material. So far, A Bathing Ape has offered little information in regards to the product, simply posting a picture of it on Instagram with the caption "1ST CAMO BACKPACK #bape."
