WaterField Designs Air Porter crowd collaborated travel bag is now available for order

After four months taking ideas from their fans and frequent flier customers, WaterField Designs has unveiled their new Air Porter carry-on bag.

The Air Porter has been designed to slide and stand up under the airline seat in front of you. It has two compartments that offer ample storage for all your important gear and it has a pass-thru on the back that allows you to slip it over a wheeled suitcase handle for easy transport.

The Air Porter is TSA-friendly, offering a zip open and lay flat design that allows the bag to go through TSA check point X-Ray machines without removing your laptop.

There are two versions of this bag. One made of waxed canvas and the other is made of ballistic nylon. Both are priced at $359 and are available for order through www.sfbags.com with shipping on September 15th.

Check out some stunning new textile designs from Ethonotek!

Ethnotek partners with artisan villages in Indonesia, Ghana, Guatemala, Vietnam, and India to produce hand-made textiles that they incorporate into their backpacks, bags, and accessories. Not only do these partnerships result in gorgeous products, but they help to keep these traditional textile making techniques alive by employing the local artisans. 

The new Akan collection features textiles from the Somanya village in Ghana, Africa produced with a combination of techniques that include block printing, tie-dye and batik (a technique that uses wax to selectively control the painting/dying process). Words can’t do the patterns justice… just click here to go check them out for yourself!

Ethnotek incorporates the fabric into a variety of bags including pouches, sling bags, and backpacks. They also offer the new patterns in swappable panels (called “Threads”) that are available on certain backpack models. You buy the bag, choose the thread, and can switch up your style with future thread purchases as the mood strikes you. It’s a great option for customization without having to buy a completely new bag.

Prices on the new line range from $18.00 to $200.00 depending on what model or bag type you are looking for. Click here to view the new Akan collection, or bounce to the Ethnotek home page to learn more about their full product lineup. You can check out their Amazon store too.

Here’s a sweet thing: the new Timbuk2/Froot Loops Tuck Pack collaboration!

Since 1989 Timbuk2 has been producing top-quality messengers and backpacks, and they always have an eye towards new designs and new styles. They also have a reputation for diving into new and interesting collaborations, and this might be one of their most fun products yet: the Froot Loops Limited Edition Tuck Pack. As in the kids’ cereal. How sweet is that? 

Inspired by the legendary breakfast treat of our youth, the exterior fabric pattern features a cascade of Froot Loops in all of their glory. As if it couldn’t get any better, there’s a treat hidden inside: Toucan Sam himself makes an appearance on the inside lining, along with a special sleeve for your box of Froot Loops (or a 15-inch laptop, if you had breakfast already). They even include a box of cereal with your order… you know, in case you ran out.

Behind all of this sugary goodness, you’ll find the well-reviewed Tuck rolltop backpack. It’s a 20-liter pack with two side pockets for water bottles and U-locks, an external zip pocket, and a hidden stash pocket on the back of the bag for your valuables. I have a closet full of Timbuk2 stuff. Their products are consistently well built and carry a lifetime guarantee; I would expect this to be the same, with a bit more sweetness added in for good measure.

Retail price for the limited edition bag is $100. Check it out at the Timbuk2 web site!
