Buy It Now: The Hundreds Paparazzi Backpack

intern — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 16:46:52 +0000

Bloggers are taking over the world—or at least every major city in the lower 48. We can’t even sit in a diner without some fool pulling out a huge DSLR to take pictures of his food so he can post about it later. We know that the camera is feeling heavy alongside that MacBook in your little sack (ayo!), but separating all your gear into separate bags will have you looking like you’re on some Bear Grylls Man vs. Wild steez.

Today’s Buy It Now should have you looking good while keeping all your goodies intact. With enough padded space for a laptop and your camera (plus accessories), the Paparazzi Backpack by The Hundreds is a perfect carryall. For Buy It Now info and more pics, see below…

Buy It Now: Rick Owens DRKSHDW Eastpak Collection Padded Bag

intern — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:53:48 +0000

It may almost be back-to-school time, but that doesn’t mean you should be rocking a kiddie bag. The time has come for you to upgrade from your ratty black cinch bag to something with a little bit more class, like today’s Buy It Now—a sleek, modern backpack from the edgy designer (and Kanye fave) Rick Owens.

Made of top-coated nylon (for that subtle glow), and dry stonewashed for a natural, slightly worn-in look, the backpack is perfect for those who want to carry their business around in style. Top the high-quality material off with the streamlined design—achieved through the use of an ultra-modern welding process—and you have yourself a backpack that’ll withstand the test of time and look good doing it. For details, pics, and Buy It Now info, see below…

Buy It Now: Peasants & Travelers Backpack

donniek — Wed, 13 May 2009 18:20:15 +0000

These days—as with our sneakers and watches—we’re avoiding unnecessary bells and whistles when it comes to our (man)bags. That means a break from all those “tech” backpacks you see with a million zippers and colors and patent leather and little separate compartments for your BlackBerry, and Nintendo DS, and iPhone and…etc. Are you going to the office or are you going to the moon? How about just a simple-yet-stylish, everyday backpack? Thankfully, a new Complex-cosigned bag line called Peasants & Travelers has answered our call.

Today’s Buy It Now is the Peasants & Travelers Backpack, which has a water-resistant polyester exterior and a lined interior made to look like a dress shirt. Every design feature has a purpose: inside is the all-important padded laptop sleeve (fits a MacBook Pro 15) and outside is Day-Glo orange trim on the handle and zippers, great for nighttime bike riders. For Buy It Now info and detail pics, see below…
