AW08 Raf Simons x Eastpak Wool Patched Shoulder Bag
a shoulder bag from Raf Simons’ long-running collaboration with Eastpak, reworking the utilitarian messenger-bag format through the designer’s collage-heavy graphic language.
constructed in dark charcoal wool, the front is covered with mismatched textile patches, photographic imagery, fragmented text and a red co-branded Eastpak / Raf Simons label. the patches are intentionally irregular in placement and finish, giving the bag the appearance of something personalized, repaired and accumulated over time rather than conventionally branded.
finished with a large flap construction, adjustable shoulder strap, black metal hardware and additional utility attachment points along the sides and base.
