The PUMA by Hussein Chalayan Urban Mobility Backpack is Chic and Sporty

— March 18, 2012 — Fashion
The PUMA by Hussein Chalayan Urban Mobility Backpack is a unique menswear accessory. At first, it looks like a typical basic knapsack. That is, until the customer realizes that the flap on top of it is actually a hood, which is colorfully lined for the fashion-forward commuter. Created with the stylish on-the-go individual in mind, it provides a unique take on everyday essential.

Designed for PUMA Black Label’s Spring and Summer 2012 collection, the PUMA by Hussein Chalayan Urban Mobility Backpack boasts the same sections expected from this bag design. It features two main compartments that are riddled with interior pockets an a laptop sleeve. Its dark charcoal waxed exterior shell is decorated with taped black zippers and heavy metal hardware. This backpack combines masculine-chic with sporty practicality.
