The streets – and streetwear – is looking safer, with a new bag collection featuring DC’s favorite superheroes. Established in 1937, DC is the USA’s largest comic book company, and behind some of the world’s most loved characters. This season, comic fans of all ages get to wear the best of them, as the likes of Superman, the Joker and Wonder Woman leap off the page and onto Eastpak designs including the Padded Pak’r, the Day Pak’r and the Transit’r.
With creative prints made up of vintage DC illustrations, characters and captions, these bags are fun and high impact – and sit alongside new designs with bold and playful features fusing Eastpak engineering with DC dynamism. Meanwhile, all stationery storage is covered, with smaller accessories like the Oval and Benchmark in all-over print.
With Eastpak’s functionality and resilience designed in – think padded straps, laptop pockets and water bottle storage as standard – these designs are as tough and ingenious as the characters they feature. From July, streetwear just got a little more super.
POW! Pack a punch with the DC Comics all-over print
The main print of the collection features excerpts of retro graphics and favorite characters including Batman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Superman and the Flash. These are collaged onto an all-over print that brings colour and creativity to classic designs like the Padded Pak’r, Orbit mini backpack, Springer bum bag and smaller accessories including the Oval and Benchmark. Meanwhile, luggage gets some DC character with the Transit’r bag in its smallest size – ideal for weekend trips to Gotham City, Metropolis… or wherever else you’re headed.
WHAMMY: Show your funny side with the Joker and Gotham prints
Batman nemesis the Joker has possibly the most famous wicked laugh in history – and it’s immortalised here in print, with a bold repeat design on the Day Pak’r backpack, Springer bum bag and Oval and Benchmark – perfect for adding some daredevil to your desk. Meanwhile, the Gotham Crossbody belt – with detachable pouches referencing Batman and his nemesis – gives great storage and a bit of mischief on the move.
SMASH! Join the strong girls club, with the pop-art Wonder Woman print
The original strong woman, Wonder Woman features on a punchy pop art print, with comic book extracts and loud captions on the Day Pak’r, and a handy Shopp’r Tote. Black labels, handles and lining keep all attention focused on the comic strip print, and the woman herself.
BAM! Superman and Batman give your protective accessories some muscle
Practicality meets super-heroism, in super functional designs featuring comic book scenes played out in bold. The handy Blanket laptop case, in Batman Cover print, sleeve doubles up as storage for your latest mag while you’re on the move, while the Padded Pak’r and the Travelpack in Superman Patch are as strong and resilient as the man himself.
