Rag & bone is collaborating with Porter-Yoshida & Co, once again, on a new series of bags for the Autumn/Winter 2016 season: a gym bag, rucksack, and pencil case. The three bags are constructed in classic aviator nylon, a natural extension of the bomber jacket down to the color palette – navy, army green, and black, all with an orange lining.

The fabrication gives these classic shapes a military-inspired update: the cylindrical gym bag and four-pocket rucksack look instantly cooler when outfitted in the light-catching nylon; the pencil case looks sleek and sporty, the perfect companion to throw in either bigger bag. Inspired by the Japanese brand’s Tanker Series, rag & bone adds its custom touch with snaps, logo patches, and leather-reinforced handles and straps, propelling this distinguished brand partnership in a bold new direction.

The bags will be available for purchase online and in stores August 2016.

Penfield’s Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection Brings the Great Outdoors to the City

Divided into three parts, Penfield’s Fall/Winter 2016 collection seeks to balance weather-proof outerwear with streetwear attitude, demonstrating each’s potential for a symbiotic relationship and the market’s demand for casual-chic alternatives. Always one to understand their consumer’s needs, the brand has crafted a series of layer-able outerwear pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless pairings suitable for any weather condition – covetous attributes the busy man of today chases. Debuting a lookbook that reads like a modernized Hemingway novel, the first story features the edgier pieces in the collection, decking models out in head to toe sporty black ensembles. To counteract these colder tones, the second story has hints of retro style, with color-blocked parkas and embossed crew-necks creating a modern and more sophisticated take on ’80s and ’90s ski-wear. The third and final story combines prep and street sensibilities with wooly bomber-style jackets that perfect practicality and style, while button-downs and cuffed pants give effortless silhouettes that are topped with plaid accents and bright orange beanies. This diverse collection has options for everyone, whether a sleek city-goer, cold-weather sports junkie, or somewhere in-between.
