côte&ciel and DESCENTE ALLTERRAIN work in collaboration on a new collection together that is highlighted by multifunctional capabilities. Together, the duo releases a range of apparel and backpacks that are aesthetically pleasing highlighting the SORMONNE MÉTAMORPHE backpack.
This is a new update of the classic bags by côte&ciel and this can be worn in three different ways. It can be worn as a traditional backpack as it is detailed with newly developed zipper vents in the Mizusawa Down Jacket. This makes it the perfect option as a hands-free travel experience whilst regulating bodily temperatures. It can also be worn as a crossbody tote with the main cargo section away from the frame and offers adjustability with the buckle system.
