The Eastpak Backpack Collection Was Made with 19th CE Samples
Riley von Niessen — September 6, 2016 — Luxury
The Eastpak backpack company is one that's known for high-end creations that were designed specifically for consumers with an immense appreciation for immaculate details and quality products.
With its latest collaborative effort with Kuroki, a brand that's based in the Japanese city of Okayama, the offerings from Eastpak backpacks take a vintage-inspired twist. In order to do this, the companies craft the products from various pieces of denim, giving the pieces a unique look that's likely to catch the attention of passersby.
To add to the luxuriousness of it, some of the samples taken date back as far as the 19th century -- making the steep price tag of $1,120 USD for the 'Padded Pak'rs' worth the investment, especially considering that only five of the handmade bags are available for purchase.
