{EASTPAK 2012 Fall/Winter “Returnity” Collection}

Ubiquitous on high school campuses, American bag company Eastpak has released their upcoming Returnity line for Fall/Winter. Notable for being worn casually over one shoulder by Marty McFly, the upcoming bags exhibit classic aesthetics while keeping in mind modern function – such as, laptop sleeves and an overabundance of pockets in the era of iPods and smartphones. Returnity includes their Padder Pak’r (backpack), Killington (backpack with two large, oblong side pockets), Delegate (messenger bag), Duffelson (duffle bag), and their new Europa Pack (essentially a Killington with an extra back pocket and single detachable strap, ideal for travelling). These styles are offered in sand, blue, red , green, and black. There even includes a pattern based off the USA flag which would work well for the Apollo Creed in us all. Overzealous nationalism aside, it is clear that Eastpak has its eye on style. Prices start at £85 GBP ( approximately $130 USD) for Padded Pak’r, £125 GBP (approximately $200 USD) for Killington, Delegate, and Duffleson designs, and at £150 GBP (approximately $235 USD) for Europa Pack
