This Fall's White Mountaineering line might be one of their best yet. While the collection continues to grow and impress one of my favourite things they do is make their luggage in collaboration with Porter each season. While they probably don't need any help, working alongside a master bag maker can't hurt and it didn't this time around. The bags are adorned with Yosuke Aizawa's unique mountain camo textiles which are finished with solid accents and interiors. Admittedly I'm not much of a tote bag enthusiast but I can easily get on board with this pattern as I do love the odd hit of camo here and there. My pic is the lighter 'desert' version but it's sometimes hard to beat plain old Jungle. Its oversize shape and removable shoulder strap add plenty of functionality to a good looking bag.
This one's available only at Beams

Nice. It would be great to see some N.American brands like LL. Bean, Filson e.t..c do some forward designed pieces like these not just for the Japanese Market though.
It seems only the indie labels are doing anything remotely close on this side of the pond. Why is that? Wouldn't this post have been that much cooler if it had been one of our heritage brands? I think it's safe to say there is a now a market for this stuff over here.
