Having been around since the 16th century when clothing had no pockets, bags were a common fixture to hold your belongings. Besides a functional item, bags became a garment accessory in the 20th century as they were selected to match clothing or shoes. Going hand-in-hand with one another, bags and clothes progressed through innovative production, materiality and fabrication, in keeping with an ever-changing world of trends to draw in the masses of high-fashion aficionados, outdoor trekkers and streetwear natives alike.
The landscape of the contemporary accessory blurs the lines of gender, driving for a balance between form and function. SEVENSTORE have digested a selection of bags that assert technical fabrication, durability, elevated design and focused engineering to uplift your day-to-day.
