The James Brand and Topo Designs have joined up again for their second collaboration. The Utility Capsule pairs up a specially-branded red and black Topo Designs Mini Shoulder Bag and a James Brand Redstone EDC folding knife. The bag is made with 100% climate-neutral X-Pac nylon with water-resistant DWR finish. It’s perfectly sized with room for more gear, as well as a removable shoulder strap that allows you to use the hook & loop straps for bike or pack attachment. As for the excellent knife, the Redstone has a colorway that matches the gear bag and a drop point blade length of 2.5 inches. The grippy handle houses a slide lock and a deep carry wire pocket clip for added convenience. It’s quite the daily carry package that you’ll rely on time and again. Just don’t call it a man purse.
