We’ve previously covered the Bedouin line of bags, but we finally were able to make first person acquaintances with the products at (capsule) Paris. The bags are based on the general idea of the Bedouin tent. A rugged shelter for nomadic lifestyle, these tents protected from the elements with a utilitarian exterior and pampered the inhabitant with a luxurious interior. A variety of bags make up the collection but we’re fond of the Medina tote bag shown above. We’ll be seeing more from this line for some time to come.
