Last year it was all about exotic animal prints, specifically zebra stripes, this year the North Face Purple Label SS14 Bag collection focuses on what the brand has dubbed the 'Aloha Print.' Inspired by a common Hawaiian pattern revolving around paradise foliage, the colorway is exactly the same as its [predecessor](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-face-purple-label-collection). The two shades of blue are topped with the brand's signature purple patch in clear sight.

The North Face Purple Label SS14 Bag collection is comprised of a wrap bag, [duffel bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apc-x-gregory), day pack and a set of packing cases. They are all made out of [nylon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cecilie-bahnsen-3). Although dark in coloring, the bags are perfect for summer, whether used around the city or on vacation. They can even be used throughout winter.
