Punk-Informed Technical Bags

Raf Simons Works with Eastpak on His Bag Capsule for SS19

Designer Raf Simons draws in the expertise of Eastpak for his fashion label, specifically his bag capsule for the Spring/Summer 2019 season. The entire range follows the brand's ongoing theme of 'Throwback to a Misspent Youth' and features punk-informed graphic designs.

This features motifs of punk icons -- it adorns some of the bags' back panel to transform the accessories to a portable poster. The bags highlight functional elements as many are complete with a plethora of pockets and zipper enclosures. The materials highlight the use of satin and cotton to boast a lightweight and soft fabrication. The color palette sees hues of black, silver, blue, and yellow. The seasonal collaborative capsule is now available to shop online at SSENSE.
