Covering a range of EDC needs, the series includes a backpack, tote, double pouch, wallet, small pouch and keyholder.

Hitting the streets with Brooks and Vans

Brooks England’s 150th anniversary. Vans’ 50th anniversary. Both significant milestones for the brands – and they’re celebrating them in style with a limited edition Brooks x Vault by Vans collaboration. The second collaboration between the brands, it includes the Barbican Shoulder Bag, Swift Brooks Saddle, TH OG Sk8-Hi LX and TH OG Classic Slip-On LX.

From the gym to weekend getaways

Part gym bag, part getaway bag, the Hathaway Duffel stems from a collaboration between athletic apparel brand OLIVERS and bag makers Jack + Mulligan. The duffel is constructed with 18 oz. water-repellent duck canvas, vegetable-tanned leather accents, and stainless steel hardware. It can be carried with grab handles or a removable shoulder strap and is versatile enough for hauling your gym gear, weekend essentials or day-to-day supplies.

Slim carry for coins, cards and cash
