DHL and SUBJECT. have partnered up to see the international shipping company become a fashion focal point through a series of upcycled accessories. The product range consists of bags crafted out of DHL uniforms that have been upcycled to help give them a new lease on life in a decidedly tactical, utilitarian way. The bags come in three styles and are made by skilled artisans in Japan to ensure the utmost attention to a durable accessory that is expected to offer years of dependable use.
The new accessories from the DHL and SUBJECT. partnership are available now for purchase via the official SUBJECT. website. The bags will see a portion of sales donated to the 'NPO Made in Japan Project.'
