The silhouette is designed for [BEAMS BOY](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-garments-x-beams-boy), the brand's womenswear line, and delivers a functional design. The spotlight hits the security pouch that hides within the interiors and has a sturdy keychain to hold it tight. The size is compact but that does not compromise the function or practicality. The Mantis 1 features a plethora of progressive looks and detailed with modern touches. This is highlighted by the tough 420D HS nylon fabric that makes up the construction. The bag can be worn around the waist, over the shoulder, or held in one's hand.
