# Tape-Accented Collaborative Bags FACETASM and EASTPAK Join Forces for Everyday Designs By Amy Duong | Published 2019-04-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facetasm-and-eastpak References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/4/facetasm-eastpak-tape-capsule) & [store.facetasm.jp](https://store.facetasm.jp/) FACETASM and EASTPAK work in collaboration for a collection of carrying options designed for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The range highlights casual designs that are suitable for a day-to-day purpose. The main design element that adorns all of the pieces highlight the tape details. The silhouettes include a shoulder bag, backpack, and a bum bag. The bags' construction showcases Cordura nylon materials in order to deliver highly durable elements. The aforementioned tape decor is incorporated in a faded manner that reads "FACETASM" in a haphazard manner. Additional details of the accessories include the webbed tough carrying straps, the silver tonal hardware attached to a rope, and the signature EASTPAK branding in the form of its patchwork sewed on the bags with its slight red hue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Collaborative Designs:** The collaboration between FACETASM and EASTPAK presents an opportunity for brands to join forces and create unique designs together. - **Tape Accents:** The tape details on the bags showcase the potential for incorporating unique and eye-catching accents in everyday designs. - **Durable Materials:** The use of Cordura nylon materials highlights the importance of durability in accessory design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can take note of the collaboration between FACETASM and EASTPAK as a way to tap into new design possibilities. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can explore the use of tape accents to bring a fresh and unique aspect to their product offerings. - **Textiles:** The textiles industry can capitalize on the demand for durable materials like Cordura nylon in the creation of accessories and bags. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Carry Gear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dime-x-eastpak-collection.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) - [American Artist Bag Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eastpak-launched.md) - [Upcycled Bag Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freitag-x-tudes-studio.md) - [Minimalist Japanese Bag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-2.md) - [Neon-Colored Lifestyle Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ramidus-2.md) - [Functional Collaborative Technical Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-and-porter.md) - [Urban Explorer-Centric Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-1.md)
