The concept brings the hybrid design to life and speaks to the expertise of both contributing labels as Eastpak is a professional in the space of bag design and Undercover is a recognizable and iconic name in streetwear fashion. Each design has a big zipped pocket on the bag that is marked with the [Eastpak label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dime-x-eastpak-collection) and cut and attached to replicate the look of the name Eastpak nylon bags that the label is known for. The handles are sewn under the collar and come in a short red option or a long yellow option.
