It all began with a single bag where Jean Paul Gaultier join forces with Eastpak to create something unique for the fourth edition of Eastpak Artist Studio in support of Designers Against AIDS (DAA). From that point on a full collaborative collection is released combining Jean Paul Gaultier’s unique vision and Eastpak’s uncompromising passion for functionality, capturing the spirit, heritage, values and identity of both brands.
The Eastpak x Jean Paul Gaultier collection includes 7 backpacks altogether, there of which will be released as numbered, limited editions. All bags feature the overstitched and Bretton stripe on the back, which is a signature Gaultier design element.
The main collection comes with two designs, Bomber Backpack and Denim Backpack. Bomber backpacks comes in two colours, black and green. The Bomber Backpack is reworked as a backpack with all its codes intact, the nylon fabric, orange lining and rib trimming. The denim Backpack on the other hand, is available in Light and Dark blue Denim which is inspired by jean jackets in recto/verso version with dark and light colours with overstitched pockets and button fasteners.
Available at all Sole What stores with extremely limited quantity. Priced at RM539 (incl. GST).
