Cocoon-Inspired Avant Garde Bags

Rick Owens DRKSHDW Designs the Oversized Nylon Backpack for FW19

— August 31, 2019 — Fashion
Avant-garde fashion brand Rick Owens' branch 'Rick Owens DRKSHDW' launches an oversized nylon backpack in black for the season. The design draws strong inspiration from the label's cocoon structures that it often follows through different apparel silhouettes.

The accessory is made in Italy and delivers durable elements with the construction along with accenting details in silver tonal metal hardware. The monochromatic base allows the hardware to stand out in contrast. The backpack can be carried in a variety of ways with the inclusion of the top handle, the adjustable shoulder straps, and the detachable cross-body strap. Branding details can be found on the rear side of the entire silhouette -- the bag is now available for purchase online at MATCHESFASHION.
