4 December Week in Review: Compact EDC, Stylish Satchels, and Tweed Collabs

South Korean carry with Scottish flair, a small but mighty carry partner from Tom Bihn, and an everyday satchel for leather lovers. Discover more in our Week In Review…

Conveniently sized for everyday carry missions

Sometimes you need to haul a lot of stuff. But other times you need a bag that will let you travel light and fast with a minimalist carry setup. Joining Mission Workshop’s pack family is The Fraction, a 14L everyday backpack designed for carrying smaller loads. The pack combines weatherproof construction with a choice of pockets for organizing gear, including a laptop pocket that fits up to 13″ laptops or tablets. Crafted in the USA, the Fraction comes with a lifetime guarantee and is available in four colorways.

A side kick for varied EDC and travel needs

Compact in form and big on functionality, the new Tom Bihn Side Kick is a cross-body shoulder bag inspired by the Tom Bihn Side Effect and user feedback. The Side Kick provides a host of handy internal and external pockets in a slim form that can also be carried as a sling bag or waist pack through an optional waist strap. The size is convenient for use on a bike or on foot when you just need to carry the essentials, and also works well as a carry-on bag for keeping your important travel items within easy reach.

Built to last, beautiful to behold

Durable, beautiful to look at, and a great tactile experience to use…leather is an easy material to fall in love with. And with the new Whipping Post Satchel there’s plenty of it to appreciate. The Satchel features a unisex design that carries daily essentials in style. Pockets keep items tidy and accessible, and the strap is adjustable to tailor it to preferred carry positions.

Modern carry style meets luxurious tradition

South Korean carry meets influences from the far-flung reaches of Scotland. A pairing you might not initially consider, but one that makes for a striking collaboration. The BLCbrand Harris Tweed Capsule Collection is based on BLCbrand’s CIVITAS series, and includes two totes, a backpack, pouch and flight bag. Each piece features durable and luxurious Harris Tweed, crafted through traditional methods in the Outer Hebrides.
