# Metallic-Caged Sacks The Kreuzberg 'Barbed Wire Eastpak Back Pack' is Hardcore By Jordy E | Published 2012-04-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbed-wire-eastpak-back-pack References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/style-and-gear/bamf-barbed-wire-back-pack/) & [shop.muschikreuzberg.de](http://shop.muschikreuzberg.de/product/silberrucken) The 'Barbed Wire Eastpak Back Pack' presents a new carry-on motif. Fully caged in sharp metallic chords, the design will surely scare off one's enemies, and will at the same time egg on some lengthy fashion kudos. This product is entirely see-through, effectively excluding the potential for private ware storage. The unusual style of the Barbed Wire Eastpak Back Pack is only a part of the creation's overall appeal. The exorbitantly high €3,000 price tag will actually be used to support the Designers Against AIDS charity, an undertaking that merges art with philanthropic work. With proceeds donated to the cause of HIV/AIDS awareness, owners of the bag will be able to showcase a revolutionary style while making a meaningful contribution to a vexing health issue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Metallic-caged Packaging:** Exploring the use of sharp metallic chords in packaging design to create a bold and edgy aesthetic. - **See-through Fashion:** Embracing transparent materials in fashion accessories to create a unique and attention-grabbing look. - **Philanthropic Fashion:** Combining fashion design with philanthropy to raise awareness and support important social causes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion accessory brands to experiment with unconventional materials to create eye-catching designs. - **Packaging Design:** Innovative packaging designers can explore the use of metallic chords to create visually striking packaging solutions. - **Philanthropy:** Fashion brands and designers can collaborate with charities to create products that not only look good but also contribute to social causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Everyday Opulence Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/151-stealth-backpack.md) - [Grocery Bag Runway Accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag.md) - [Oversized Earbud Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpack.md) - [Cargo Pocket-Adorned Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag.md) - [Luxe Metal Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-aluminum-backpack.md) - [Versatile Warped Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-3.md) - [Sleek Modern Bag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trompe-loeil-bags.md) - [Co-Branded Upcycled Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rerebuilt-to-resist.md) - [Retro Militant Backpack Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waxed-canvas-backpack.md)
