Perhaps my favorite combination in fashion is luxury, utility and minimalism. Sounds easy, but not many can pull it off successfully. The Swedes are great at it and so are the Japanese. This combination is more than evident in Tokyo’s South 2 West 8 label. They craft outdoor ready bags using the highest quality materials like ballistic nylon and beautiful calf leather. The only markings are the excellent deer skull logo and I am also impressed with their haute rugged branding. To top things off the price point is extremely reasonable for a bag of this quality. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
