Brand loyalty is a very important notion for certain segments of consumers, which is why the Pendleton Woolen Mills x Kletterwerks Collection knapsacks are designed to honor the traditions of two different brands to the delight of fans alike. Created with [woolen accoutrements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-masons-wool-sweater-collection) on the front portions that draw to mind [traditional American woolen products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendleton-swim-and-beach), the Pendleton Woolen Mills x Kletterwerks Collection is completely handmade by the team at Kletterwerks and provides a ruggedly warm experience.

Featuring three different style options, the Pendleton Woolen Mills x Kletterwerks Collection has knapsacks that can be utilized in an everyday manner, for travel abroad or even as a school bag. The designs will only be available from a handful of select retailers.
