Along with all the clothing labels at capsule, there were also footwear and accessories brands showing. Two of the standouts in the bag arena were Temple Bags and J. Fold. Taking their cue from Soviet era standard issue military and civil service bags, J. Fold presented simple, utilitarian bags. This tote would be great as [...]

It’s no secret that I’m a giant fan of Billykirk leather goods. My cardholder has been a faithful friend all throughout my trip in China. I think the construction and aesthetic are spot on and will never go out of style. While no one can argue about the craftsmanship or quality, some may have a [...]

The other find from the army surplus store. An authentic parachute bag probably from the ’60s. The unusual shape makes it stick out from duffles and other bags. Designed to have a parachute stuffed in it, this bag can hold a ton of crap. I’d like to think that when I first saw the rain [...]

My family used to tease me that I had way too many sweaters and bags for my own good. Perusing my stash, yes, they are right. How I know I have a problem? I know I have too many and I still want more. The guys over at H(y)r Collective aren’t making things any easier. [...]

Based out of Portland, Oregon Beckel makes really cool stuff. Everything from tents to tote bags and all of it at really reasonable prices. I think as bloggers we can [...]

nice bags

Everyone needs something to lug all their stuff around in. In university, I could get away with a small shoulder bag; as a religious studies major most of my books were small and I always used notebooks without spiral binding (I’m left handed). Then I went to law school. Those books are huge. Unless I’m [...]
