Eastpak and Vuarnet's Collaborative Bag Unites Alpine & Urban Worlds
Alpine sports heritage meets minimalist design.
The past couple of months have seen Eastpak release a slew of collaborations, with designers such as Christopher Raeburn and Raf Simons both giving their latest take on the brand’s classic bags. The latest brand to work with Eastpak is French sunglasses label Vuarnet for a backpack to celebrate its 60th anniversary.
The collaborative product mixes Vuarnet’s alpine sports heritage with Eastpak’s design reputation for a vintage-influenced piece. Coming in a blue-grey, water resistant felt, other features include a denim back panel and bottom, waterproof zippers and a padded laptop sleeve. Unsurprisingly considering Vuarnet’s usual output, the backpack also comes with a lined pocket to protect your sunglasses. Eastpak’s Vuarnet collaboration is set to drop later this month from the French brand’s web store and select retailers.
