Japanese streetwear imprint UNDERCOVER works in collaboration with American backpack label Eastpak on a new bag collection together for the season. The duo has joined forces to deliver three bag types that embody UNDERCOVER's notable theme of Chaos/Balance.
The first of the capsule includes traditional padded backpacks that have a large main pouch joined by two smaller zipped pouches at the base of the bag. It comes in a tonal palette of red, green, black, or grey marl. This is then followed by the Eastpak duffle bag that comes in a simplistic form along with a spacious interior and a bonus pouch at the front -- this comes in blue or red. It is then rounded out by a classic crossbody bag in yellow, blue, black, or sand.
