Prometheus Design Werx WUULF Pack 24L Review
…tside, which you might need in a hurry. Instead, I prefer a superlight dry-bag inside my pack or just a plastic waste bag – it works too. Of course, the optional front access via zipper would be disabled… but there’s no free lunch, you know? And if you need a truly fully waterproof daypack, go with the PDW All Terrain series or get one of the Arc’teryx Alpha FL series, or something similar – but they all come with other significant limitations ver…

…as factory) – Any product that thinks the way to greatness is with more. – BAGS Man bags – Some men really want to carry around a handbag, but would feel socially awkward doing so. These are the myriad of designs (from waist bags to slings to wrist pouches) that they use to disguise their handbag. Stiff backer – Any bag that puts your laptop directly against your back. It makes riding, climbing, or any sort of bending pretty darn uncomfortable. Go…
Studio Visit :: Boreas and Alite
…what bag Tae would most covet, he responded that a simple paper-sack style bag works fine. He’s around bags so much that he likes to almost go anti-bag. People Since we last caught up with Boreas and Alite there’s been a bit of movement on the people front, as tends to happen when ‘adventure travel’ is your reason for being. So there are some new faces, but still lots of familiar ones too. Todd Wilkinson is the lead designer for Boreas, while Liz…

…l island in the Philippines, not to mention the rougher surfaces it has to travel over when it’s with me in such places as opposed to the usual big international airports that I travel to when on duty. Despite such abuse, it has shown its sturdiness and the corner trimmings and materials used have shown their worth with their durability and build quality. The four-wheel design was a first for me as I’ve previously only ever used two-wheel suitcase…

…be?). It’s a nice extra but a little out of place – this isn’t the type of bag I’d be using for my camera gear. My one main gripe with the bag is the undersized #5 main zip (it should be an #8), which would make use and product longevity that much better, but I looked past it – although ask me again in 12 months, once that tiny zip has been put through its paces. Verdict This was a nice surprise: yet the form is simplistic, the materials, finish a…

5 Minutes with Bleu de Chauffe
…. What one product are you most proud of and why? We are very proud of our bag called Scott, which is inspired by the bag of the writer Scott Fitzgerald. It emanated following a special request from an American guy who loved our products and was looking for a special bag for his girlfriend. We decided to follow his request and create it. The result was great and we decided to add the product to our collection. Today this bag is actually one of our…

…s opposed to curvaceousness (you seem to allude to this with the ‘Handbox’ bag). Is there any particular rationale for this, or inspiration? Well, I like my designs to express a radical purity, voluptuous volumes and a sense of nonchalance. You recently opened a retail store in Paris. How has that changed or informed how you design now, if at all? It’s very interesting to hear the views of my retail customers, in contrast to my wholesale clients w…
5 Minutes with Farrah Design
…simplicity. Longevity and durability really motivate my ideas as well. My designs all stem from a desire to make things that we will use for our whole lives – and those things need to have the endurance to last that whole time. Designing enduring aesthetics and applications that will be relevant for a whole lifetime is a primary consideration for me – this fuels my penchant for traditional materials like leather and canvas. Oh and Swiss military…

…a compact weekender, a bit larger and a bit more relaxed than our 25-hour bag. And the Bolton fits just between our briefcase Vallance and 25-hour bag Palissy. Even though the overall shapes might be less formal, we believe that the Surfaces range works equally fine in the office or for days off. What single item are you most proud of? The Briefcase Vallance. I think it’s a unique piece in terms of its aesthetics, features, and format. It’s under…

…ince. What did you find was the biggest challenge in developing an initial bag range? The biggest challenge was finding what our place would be in the bag and carry world. Answering questions like: What will we be offering that’s different from what’s out in the market? Why would people care about a bag line from us? Do we have enough “tricks up our sleeve” even if we were able to have some early success? Figuring out what our message would be and…

I have a prototype that I’m using with our new links that we are going to start using on the bags soon. They come from a company in England that produce everything in stainless steel.

Core77 Ultralight series :: Part 3
…can just walk out my door and have endless trails to test stuff on. We do travel gear too, and I do a fair bit of travel particularly to Asia, so that’s easy. Did hyping “The Guarantee” change your design thinking? We always kinda had that, we just finally put it in writing. I guess the marketing people got ahold of it and went to town. We are trying to tie our warranty people better into the process, I think they sometimes feel left out of the d…

…ad of integrated frame types, as well as frameless packs that look like garbage bags, and back to re-envisioned external systems.

The UL school of thought still has deep roots in the DIY tradition but there is…
