Mismo back! Using new materials is always a risky move, especially when it’s one with a reputation as bad as nylon. If you can move past your childhood memories of wearing awful nylon streetwear (that might just be our childhood memories) then the usage of nylon is quite refreshing. The fact that it’s an upgraded version of a Mismo mainstay doesn’t hurt either, that shoulder strap will save us whenever we meet someone who insists on hugging it out. (Tres Bien)

They both left the comfort of a steady pay check to whole-heartedly build something they could truly believe in. Beginning with a series of modest bags they plan to share their ideas and passion with the world.” Worth a look.

As much as we like to obsess about the details the fact that this superb backpack by Bill Amberg is Made in England with vegetable tanned leather, English brass buckles and 100% cotton drill lining doesn’t matter very much when we look at these shots. It’s just very, very goodlooking. Distractingly so in fact. Black, Brown or Tan, we’d be happy with whichever.
