Fans of Kris Van Assche can get in on the action now that the latest S/S12 collaboration with Eastpak is available online. Made of cotton with PU coated bottoms (think of Jack Spade’s dual colour totes that come with bottoms that feel like rubber; it’s the same thing), the extensive collection has at least one style for everyone, including a large weekender, a duffle, a backpack, two types of messengers, as well as a pair of vertical totes.
An added feature for most bags is the inclusion of a padded tech case which is also removable, great for those who need their iPads (or similarly sized gadgets) on the go. Available in a range of colours that include the prerequisite black (along with beige and grey), each bag has been designed to be lightweight and functional, and from the looks of it, rather stylish as well without having to break the bank.
Prices start from EUR99 to EUR219 on UNDSCVRD which has a larger collection of styles, or check out Oki-Ni which stocks some of the smaller pieces like the wallet, a wash bag, as well as a set of 3 pouches that retails for GBP119.

Yes, will it be available anywhere in SG?
Mmm I still think Jack Spade did it better.
Mmm…
This is the second collection KvA is designing for Eastpak. The duo tone tiered pockets for this collection looks awful. The first was much, much better. Still available online somewhere I’m sure.
LOL! And hence the words, ‘rather stylish’. But really, it ain’t that bad.
Oh you, King of the Euphemism.
