Using a "high-quality nylon taffeta material," the two construct a [sleek backpack and a tote bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-research-parasite-bag). Although each is completely black, the unique use of material makes the carriers stand out, however this is done in a way that still allows the products to be easily incorporated into everyday wear. Not only that, but the surface of the material is water-resistant, meaning that consumers can stay stylish without having to worry about slight elemental damages.
