FOCUS: SPRING/SUMMER 2019 BELT BAGS

Hallmarked for its practicality, belt bags have —in recent years — quickly rose to prominence in the realm of modern fashion. For our latest curation of Spring/Summer 2019 belt bags, we looked at how prestigious outdoor labels reinterpret this pragmatic piece with latest fashion trends, while high street designers assimilate the accessory into their season’s motif. Featured brands include OFF-WHITE, Heliot Emil, White Mountaineering and Napapijri Silver. From the SS19 Collection titled “En Plein Air”, the OFF-WHITE Waist Bag exudes a minimalistic style to contrast the collection's array of youth and graffiti influences. Crafted with robust cotton-drill, the three-pocket main compartment is attached to the yellow signature logo-jacquard webbing strap — printed branding and text “LOGO” at front for a signature Abloh finish. Another curated piece in black, the Heliot Emil Waist Bag features two pockets with custom-made Japanese trimmings and an ‘HE’ branding metal belt loop. Highlighted with a transparent lock attached on the front, the piece is an exemplar of the brand's forward thinking facet. In collaboration with Eastpak to unite performance demands and fashionable aesthetics, Japanese outdoor-inspired streetwear label White Mountaineering delivers the Reflective Taped Waistbag as part of the SS19 collection. Crafted with one main compartment and a zip back pocket, the classic silhouette is garnished with reflective material at front and strap. Rounding up the range, the Napapijri Silver Logo Bumbag celebrates the brand’s long-standing heritage with the yellow nylon outdoor gear.
