We’re very proud of the collaborative TUMI Alpha Duffle Bag we worked on this year. We love it so much that we figured it was high time to share our own looks and thoughts on the process. First and foremost, we need to thank TUMI for working with us on this project. We went through several revisions of the duffle bag before landing on what is a unique and new design to the TUMI line up. The four-in-one duffle is the first TUMI bag of its kind and built for our staff’s traveling needs.

The TUMI Alpha series was the inspiration for the Selectism duffle bag. The digital camo collection back in 2009 may have started it for us; this weekend duffle has been used by some on our staff for years now. Like most TUMI products, it has taken its fair beating through luggage returns and, as expected, performs as well as it did on day one. We believed that the TUMI duffle form was where we needed to start. With the help of TUMI we began to add in new features to make it even more versatile; the additions of the removable laptop sleeve, camera/day pouch, and tote bag came from these conversations and solved our specific needs which we’re sure others have as well. These features are the heart of our Selectism by TUMI Alpha Four-in-One Duffle Bag.

The Good Flock has a message, the kind that makes you feel all warm inside. ”The products we make can be buried in your backyard.They’re made of wholesome things that won’t hurt the earth or trees or worms,even the mean ones. We believe that real craftspeople (artists who use their own hands) create better things. And we’d like to think our products, which we ask you not to bury in your backyard, are proof.” Aside from good vibes they also create some pretty impressive accessories, the Tokyo bag being one of them. Waxed cotton, vegetable tanned leather handles, it has four external and four internal pockets. Grab your own ethical tote over at GF.

We let this one breathe since last Friday when Cool Hunting let the cat out of the bag. Today, Park and Bond’s “The Intersection” delivers a proper dissection of our special Selectism by Tumi Alpha Four-In-One Duffle Bag. It has been in the works for some time; a proper travel bag, built tough, while allowing for expansion as needed. The final product is not only a wholly new bag in the TUMI line, it is also a reflection our needs when on the road. Check the removable zipper bags that line the exterior. Look inside see the liner. We kept it simple in color but went big on the form. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Let us know what you think of our new travel duffle bag.

The Selectism by Tumi Alpha Four-In-One Duffle Bag is available now exclusively online at Park & Bond for $495.

Budapest Design Week 2011 delivers a wide array of interesting takes on design. One interesting project brought together the BetaVersion and Dombon-a-tanya houses to work over and conceptualize four “bag” for men and women. Each bag has a theme but the standout to us is the Macbook box crate/bag ensemble. The box precisely places the Macbook 13 laptop as well as your mobile iPhone into pre-cut slots. Will it keep the electronics safe? We’re unsure, but it looks damn good.

A no nonsense holdall from Ralph Lauren. This sizable piece of kit fits into the ’short week’ rather than weekender category. Plenty of room for all your holiday essentials. If you find yourself without without any particular destination we wouldn’t judge if you carried this around with just your phone and wallet inside. With a price tag that might make your eyes water you may as well get as much use out of this handsome carrier as you can. Detachable strap, luggage tag, Made in Italy, find it at Mr. Porter.

We’re trying our best not to make an ‘unleash the beast’ joke here, we really are. But if we were to make a joke we’d probably set it up by saying something about how the trend for leopard print trainers has found its way into other accessories, make a witty/dull (depending on your view of our jokes) reference to something in the news and then finish it off with the punchline. So it’s for the best that we didn’t make the joke in the first place. (Ssense)

Ro was started in 1999 by New Yorker Yvonne Roe. After graduating from Rhodes School of Design she quickly fell into fashion and after a few years decided to concentrate solely on leather accessories for men and women. She soon uprooted her studio to Recanati in Italy to surround herself with the world’s greatest leather craftsmen and the best quality hides and fabrics. It paid off, this coated grey herringbone oxford briefcase a prime example of her dedication to simplicity and quality.
