June Baginnings

Fathers’s Day is coming and we reinforce the dad vibes with a promo on a spotlight-Dad-worthy- bag - the HOVAN duffle in all its SS23 leather colour ways. 20% OFF through June 19, 2023.

The HOVAN duffle is sure to please the large majority of dads, but if you are about the finer details, perhaps another dad-profile would suit your dad more. Read further to learn about other bags that would suit your dad (or you).

THE DAD WHO USUALLY DOESN’T CARRY BAGS

If this sounds like your dad (or you), he is a go-from-the-car straight-to-the-office kinda guy.  He usually likes to carry his day-to-day essentials in his jacket or pant pocket, and the thought of a bag to free up his pockets is a new concept.  In his rotation, he will have a backpack (or briefcase) for his work essentials, and a duffle bag for work travel.  This dad is a prime candidate for the new HOVAN duffle, and perhaps a Matteo dopp-kit to accompany.  

THE DAD THAT IS READY TO EMBRACE FREEING UP SPACE IN HIS POCKETS AND CARRYING A BAG

THE DAD WHO ENJOYS OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND PLANNING OUTDOOR EXCURSIONS FOR THE FAMILY

This dad is super-outdoorsy.  Although Gorpcore sensibilities in design seem to quieting down, this dad already enjoyed gorpcore (before it was trendy) and subscribes to it as his life mantra.  The bigger the bag the more utility it has is his mindset  The Theus rucksack and the XL Vernam tote would be welcomed in his rotation of bags that pack Big Bag Energy.

THE RAD DAD

This dad is a leg-up above the dad who has discovered the liberation of freeing up his pockets with a bag.  He sees the bag as a precious object, and appreciates all the nuances involved in the aesthetics of its features.  He is very particular about his overall image, and sees the bag as a vehicle for flexing his superior taste-level.  

The new Tsuki cross-body bag is a good option for this dad.  The silhouette of the bag has a slight nod to the boho style silhouettes dominating the market in bag design.  It also has a unique intentional-warpedness to its design, which gives it a nuanced uniqueness in silhouette.  Pair the Tsuki with a new Krane monogram phone case, and he is sure to wanna continue to flex (*insert bicep emoji, bicep emoji, bicep emoji).
