ATELIER DE L'ARMÉE - SS16

Amsterdam-based brand Atelier de l'Armée is inspired by the functionality and quality of military wear. They offer two different collections: "Series" and "Collectors".
With every design in ‘Series’, Atelier de l'Armée strives to be environmentally, morally and ethically conscious throughout their design and production process. It is suitable for everyone who is confident and appreciates quality in design and craftsmanship.
The Atelier de l’Armée ‘Collectors’ collection consists of one of a kind handcrafted items mainly built out of a zero waste philosophy, created by mixing high quality dead stock or repurposed materials. The ‘Collectors’ items are made in our small workshop in Amsterdam.

Their SS16 collection will be available in February 2016 and can be purchased online at Mr. Porter and Atelier de l'Armée.

THE CAMPER SATCHEL by SKETCHBOOK CRAFTS

Inspired by mountaineering gear of the past, “The Camper” is the first product Sketchbook Crafts has put into production. There are four pockets on the outside, two of which are covered. The main compartment opening rolls up and snaps to leather straps which are adjustable in height to accommodate both large and small loads. These straps are also removable and can be reconfigured to use the bag expanded or even completely unrolled. It is made with heavy-duty waxed canvas and vegetable tanned leather, which is all natural and sourced in the USA.
The rustic brown color in combination with the dark red leather straps make this an understated, highly durable eye-catcher. Check out other products by Sketchbook Crafts and get your own handmade backpack.
