Someone far more intelligent than us once said something along the lines of “there’s no such thing as an original idea.” They’re probably right, but we don’t agree with it completely. The idea of an all black, expanding backpack made with durable materials is nothing new, but that doesn’t make the bags and the wallet from Modern Industry any less interesting. Made with combinations of Martexin Original Wax 10.10oz Army Duck and vegetable tanned Horween leather, the collection rethinks the standards you’re used to in your bag. Ever lose anything in the bottom of your bag? No more, thanks to the brightly colored organic cotton canvas that lines the insides. Can’t easily get your keys out to pop open that six pack you just picked up at the store? That’s not a problem either with the exterior accessories pocket. The same rock hard construction and durability that makes the bags great is present in the wallet, too.
