Vesuvio Backpack

White Mountaineering is continuing to become a favorite brand of mine.

Not only do they have a great logo with a slick font but its designed and founded by Yosuke Aizawa, a former assistant to Junya Watanabe.

The brand is summed up by 3 rules (via Yosuke Aizawa)

One, design. Two,utility. Three, technology. (that’s deep huh?)

These backpacks, designed with waterproof zippers and ballistic cordura are a great example.

Available at Union Los Angeles and in Japan (obviously)

      oh yeah junya was, and still is his mentor. i agree, it explains the wild combinations and love for technologically superior fabric.
