Chrome Senator

The Senator, new bag from Chrome and it looks, well, interesting.

New Polipo Bags

Brand new Polipo Rollpack, looking nice, check out more info and pics here. Designed in Italy, Made in Sweden.

Mission Workshop - European Online Store

I've probably just missed this the first time around but I just discovered that Mission Workshop has now an European Online Store operating in London. Flatrate shipping is offered to 'most locations within the EU', which will be in any case much better than having to order stuff directly from the States.

Besides their messenger bags they got nice looking backpacks, which I personally nowadays generally prefer over messenger bags any day, The Vandal and The Ramber, as well as the cool brand new SPD sneaker The Rondel. Unfortunately it seems that Rondels are Limited Edition and not available through the online store.

Chrome Warsaw

Ok, now the all new Chrome Warsaw messenger bag is officially out and available for you to order. It's big, probably pretty sturdy and has plenty of nice & interesting technical details to it but it's also bit on pricier side of things at 280 USD.

Chrome Warsaw In Action

New Chrome backpack, I guess? Anyhow, I have a baby daughter but I'm not sure whether she would agree to stay in a bag like that.

Chrome Soyuz Backpack

Brand new offering from Chrome, the undisputed king of messenger bags, Soyuz, a backpack with an inner laptop compartment, or a 'dual compartment roll-top backpack'. Should be out very soon. Looks quite interesting.

I need to say this: 'Yo Chrome people, send me one and I'll review it, a'ight?'

FUCT Messenger Bag

Yay! FUCT makes a messenger bag.

Probably not the most practical or functional bag but I personally still dig FUCT. Out of all the early 1990s skateboarding & whatever urban brands they were the coolest back in the day. Originators of the subversion. And yes, I'm really that old.
