Beyond The Vines (BTV) has built its reputation on minimalist, utilitarian design. From the cult-favourite Dumpling Bag to everyday essentials, the homegrown label holds a distinct place in Singapore’s design scene. Now, it brings that same approach to a new collaboration. The Beyond The Vines x Toyo Steel T-320 Toolbox pairs local creativity with Japanese industrial craft.
The partnership draws on Toyo Steel’s legacy of producing durable, seamless steel toolboxes since 1969. Rather than redesigning the T-320, BTV adds on removable canvas and recycled leather organisers in a colour-coded system. These keep creative tools and everyday essentials neatly arranged. Compact yet practical at 33.3 cm by 13.7 cm by 9.65 cm, the toolbox also comes with a leather handle cover for added comfort.
Launching alongside the Beyond The Vines x Toyo Steel T-320 Toolbox is a curation of bags and accessories. The new Leather Canvas Carryall series includes the Carryall 0.5, Carryall 1.5 and a Mini Tools Charm Set. Each piece pairs washed canvas with recycled leather accents. Shades of Tonal Washed Brown, Navy and Black offer a timeless take on utility-inspired style.
A ready-to-wear capsule then rounds out the collection with workwear-inspired pieces. The lineup features durable cotton tees, shirts, overshirts and overalls in versatile cream and brown hues. Completing the range, the Leather Canvas Logo Cap adds a finishing touch with recycled leather piping.
To celebrate the launch, Beyond The Vines also introduces Objects of Utility at its refreshed Design Store in Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Customers who purchase either the T-320 Toolbox or any Leather Canvas Carryall can curate five utility-inspired objects to take home. Options include miniature lamps, magnifying glasses and harmonicas, available while stocks last.
Priced at SGD69, the Beyond The Vines x Toyo Steel T-320 Toolbox is available exclusively online, as well as at the Beyond The Vines Design Store at B1-42/46 Takashimaya Shopping Centre. Online purchases include a complimentary personalised leather tag with two silver hot-stamped initials.
