After

The design for this bag was inspired by the subway system in Stockholm, Sweden and pulls the color palette of pastel salmon, lavender, mint and white found in the Morby Centrum underground station. This piece is a handcrafted reversible leather backpack, with diagonal pastel stripes on one side, connecting to the opposite side where the stripes are horizontal. Above the horizontal stripes showcases the architectural insignia logo for the Minneapolis based minimal leather goods brand, Montgomery Collection. This drawstring backpack cinches at the top and includes details of the stripes on one side of the pull strings. The interior is lined in grey suede, soft to the touch and will protect all of your belongings held inside. Worn on either the diagonal or horizontal side, this backpack is a functional piece of art.
