Swims, the Norwegian lifestyle brand that has a habit of making durable goods look even better, is back with a new series of bags and backpacks that are fully waterproof because of an advanced welding technique. Using PVC-free Nylon/TPU fabric and a mélange effect to give it a cool finish, the collection of four bags—two backpacks, a duffel and a laptop style bag—will keep all of your gear safe regardless of what the elements are currently dumping on your head. Most importantly though, the construction and styling make them look like normal bags, so they’re perfect for the workplace where a tarpaulin truck liner bag in bright red would probably be frowned upon.
