Exploring a second collaboration in the making, the two renowned brands - MM6 Maison Margiela and worldwide American lifestyle brand Eastpak come together to create a collaborative capsule dedicated to backpacks and suitcases. Joining forces again, the two brands present their engaging accessories in a small selection of muted colours in forest greens, bright yellow, off-white, and black shades to start off the spring season in full swing.

As aware, both brands are no strangers to collaborating with each other. For the second collaboration to date, their impressive offering consists of engaging construction with a noticeable play on words like the faux fur wheeled suitcase.

It has the perfect spot for a laptop sleeve, a practical yet functional bag accessory. To finish off the piece, you have the visible co-brand logo representing the partnership of the two creative brands.
