@newbottega has been the talk of the town ever since Daniel Lee's appointment as Creative Director in 2018 (after 17 years of Tomas Maier at the helm).

The collections may not be for everyone, but the image making has been undeniably strong - all thanks to low key legends Tyrone Lebon (photography) and Edward Quarmby (art direction).  

The supersized, maxi-weave spin on the brand's world famous 'Intrecciato' technique was a genius move - definitely a vibe for your daily holdall...

Founded in 1975, this Swedish purveyor of refined, "understated Nordicness" is enjoying a new wave of popularity (thanks to support from the likes of @organiclab.zip) and rightfully so - it's really good. 

Competitors offer similar tote bags with stowaway backpack straps, but Klättermusen is the brand to back in my opinion.

Their committment to responsible material research and unique design detailing makes it an easy winner for an outdoor/urban crossover option. 

Aptly named the G.O.A.T. TOTE, this 100% waterproof beast is a made with 150D Dyneema® - making it arguably the toughest thing on the market. 

If Sicario and Sicario 2 both feature in your top five films of all time, then this tote bag should be on your radar.
