The limited edition collection features four models crafted from cell-spun nylon, a water-resistant construction complete with leather details and plenty of straps. Waterproof, lightweight and durable, the backpacks have been designed with functionality and convenient storage in mind.

Making Truck | Osaka (JAP)

Founded in Osaka by designers Tokuhiko Kise and Hiromi Karatsu in 1997, TRUCK has continued to develop products in line with a commitment to 'design the kind of furniture we want ourselves, regardless of fashion'.

Alongside the creation of TRUCK furniture, Tokuhiko and Hiromi have also curated a series of publications and catalogs that document their work as well as the culture and lifestyle that surrounds their brand. Making TRUCK is one such publication; featuring beautiful photography it is an interesting peek behind the scenes of the TRUCK brand and offers insight into the playful personalities behind the products.
