White Mountaineering joins forces with Eastpak to create a collaborative capsule for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The joint collection is comprised of a selection of bags, ranging from backpacks to side bags, and carry-ons as well. The main design concept ensures that all of the offerings are adorned with a plethora of pockets to maximize the overall functionality.
The aesthetics take on a utilitarian approach, featuring bright accents using 3M materials and Eastpak's iconic canvas material for durability. Every bag comes in two colorway selections -- one of which is monochromatic and the other option is a blend of navy blue, orange, and gray. The collection currently has a Japan-only launch date of January 19th in Tokyo and online on January 26th with plans set to launch internationally.
