Raf Simons Teams Up With Eastpak for Accessories

MILAN — Raf Simons has hopped on the co-branding wagon.

The Belgian designer, in fact, has joined forces with Eastpak to develop a line of accessories under the Raf Simons Eastpak name. It will be infused with Simons’ staple accoutrements such as cuts and quirky details.

Eastpak has become a household name with a cult global following thanks to trendy yet sturdy backpacks in cotton Cordura. Simons and Eastpak first teamed up for the spring 2008 runway show, which led to a more solid union.

The project, which lasts for two seasons starting with fall/winter 2008-09, comprises of knapsacks, duffel bags and small accessories developed by Simons that will be carried in the designer’s 110 salespoints worldwide, plus select Eastpak doors.

Did I miss something? The SS08 bags are being produced with Eastpack, if you look at the closeup runway pics you can see the eastpack logo on the bags.

Where'd you get that they are going to be cheaper?

You didn't miss anything. My bad - I misread the article, and thought RS will be collaborating with Eastpak in another project in addition to the accessories collaboration the two had in ss08 show.

[goldengloves]

Nah, I think there's a lot more than 10 in the US.

off the top of my head; A, 7, Barneys (4-5?), South Willard, Hlorenzo, Barneys Co-Ops (RbyR), and I'm sure a bunch others under the radar.

I believe all those 110 stockists include the Raf by Raf line too. Shit, I bet Japan has 40 of those stockists alone.

Afrika iz al about dat RaF SliMons.

RAF SIMONS X EASTPACK

"They are being produced by Eastpack and prices will range from £300-£3000.."

[notesee]

These bags are way too fucking big.

[ProfMonnitoff]

anyone who ridiculed the e-cat for its size better not buy one of these. you could hide 2 corpses in one of them, and if you cut them up and used the smaller pockets as well, maybe 3.

[kubrick]

they are also fucking ugly.

Glad bags have always done the job for me.

Don't get mad, get Glad.

[Charlie Delta]

I really like the big white one and the styling of that look!

Why that expensive though?

[goldengloves]

I think some of the styles are going to be using leather so I'm sure those are going to be the most expensive.

But yea, I don't know why even a nylon bag would cost $600...

[ProfMonnitoff]

RAFE SlMMONZ

[Charlie Delta]

BERHARD WiLiiAMSSSSS!!!!

[ProfMonnitoff]

(RAFE SIMMONZ is why it costs so much)

still very nice though

[Charlie Delta]

^Guess so...

Quality will probably better than Visvim too.

[ProfMonnitoff]

honestly the quality of Visvim's stuff is alright but not amazing

but i suppose the whole "$xxx for item x is a ripoff" thing is kind of invalid on here anyways. but 6,000 for a men's bag is ridiculous just like $60,000 for a woman's bag is ridiculous.

[Charlie Delta]

$6000 (if that is indeed what certain ones are going to cost) is absolutely out of its mind for any bag, seriously I'm certain that Eastpack has these produced in the same factory where all there stuff is being made (wherever that is, no expert on Eastpack) using it's regular machines and probably only slightly higher grade materials, so mr Simons must really charge a high design fee then? I call Bullshit!

... just like $60,000 for a woman's bag is ridiculous.

Would one be able to life in a bag that expensive?
