Aries Brings a Military Influence to Eastpak's Classic Bags

After launching its MM6 Maison Margiela collection recently, Eastpak has now partnered with London-based label Aries for its latest collaboration. The tactical-focused collection features six of Eastpak’s styles, which mix a tie-dye camouflage print from the label’s Fall/Winter 2021 collection with utilitarian detailing.

The collection includes a range of signature Eastpak silhouettes, including the Padded and Shopper styles. Both are finished with the collection’s tie-dye camo print, as well as military-inspired detailing such as gear loops, a security pocket and a carabiner on the Padded, and nylon webbing links on the Shopper. Smaller styles — such as the Bum Bag, Cullen and Talky — continue to incorporate the tactical elements, as well as featuring the phrase “Are Cults a Danger?”

Rounding out the collection, and its military theme, is the tactical vest. The vest is constructed from mesh, and features a range of pockets in the tie-dye camo print, as well as military materials ranging from nylon webbing to a water-resistant top-coated fabric.

Take a look through the collection in the gallery above, as well as the four campaign films below. The Aries x Eastpak collaboration is due to release via the Aries web store and select stockists in the near future.
