17 April Week in Review: Stylish Bamboo Briefcases, Mini Packs, and Creative EDC

Adding creativity to your carry, a pint-sized pack for daily essentials, and bringing bamboo to the boardroom. Discover more in our Week In Review…

Elevating your EDC style

Inspired by the abstract nature of dreams. Stylishly practical for day-to-day use. The āsum collection of bags is a beautiful balance of function and fashion that draws attention for its quiet elegance. The attractive draping of the bags lends itself to work and play environments, while weather-resistant fabrics and durable full-grain aniline leather detailing means they not only look good, but embrace frequent use too. The collection features a range of versatile pieces, with useful pockets for organization and intriguing silhouettes that add creative flair to your EDC.

Taking a walk on the wild webbing side

A classic is a good thing, but there’s nothing wrong with jazzing it up occasionally. The new collaboration between Topo Designs and outdoor sandal maker Chaco adds vibrant style to the Topo Klettersack and Rover Pack. Both bags feature custom-designed Chaco webbing and Chaco ladder lock buckles, adding some visual fun to these multifunctional packs.

An appealing prospect for carrying less

If you don’t need to carry a lot, why carry a big bag? The Mini Custom Prospect Backpack is a compact pack that keeps the essentials organized while you’re on the go. The pack can alternate between a flap and roll-top closure, and features a front pocket for stashing quick-access items. The interior is large enough for a 13″ laptop and includes a choice of pockets for organizing smaller items. Not only is the bag a nimble companion for work or leisure use, but it can also be customized to suit your personal tastes. Reflective detailing, weather-resistant fabrics, stylish waxed canvas…a host of options and color choices are available to make it truly yours.

Bamboo carry that means business

In business it’s important to stand out while making a good impression. The Companion Briefcase from Nisantari is designed to help you do just that. Constructed from bamboo, this sleek briefcase offers eye-catching style for work and travel, complemented by a range of practical features. The interior provides organization for documents, pens, cards, cables and tech, with customized foam padding for up to a 13″ laptop. Lightweight but durable and attractive, the briefcase secures with a coded lock and bans boring from the boardroom.

Swooping in for Spring

New blooms, warming weather…the season of Spring encourages revitalization, splashes of color and getting outdoors to explore. Those are things Seagull Bags can get behind, and they’ve done so with a fresh look to their offerings. For Spring ’16 they’ve swept in two new colorways across their entire line. The NightShift V2 Backpack, Commuter Sling, Trail Buddy hip bag and Chief Backpack now come in TreeLine and RidgeLine colorways, and are ready to help you seek out adventures both near and far.
