Unit Shoulder Sling Bag Collection


Two cross-body shoulder bags for everyday carry offered in various technical fabric and color blocked offerings


For this DSPTCH RND release, we were tasked to create two shoulder bags suitable for a daily excursion in the city. The big focus of this collection was to highlight our new partnership with Challenge Outdoor and use their extensive collection of fabrics and color offerings.

We explored unique ways to create volume with a one piece front panel. We ended up with the use of a large pleat that would open up to a tip of a dart to create a 3D triangular shape and enhanced the look of the side profile. On the Unit Shoulder Bag, we were able to hide a concealed zipper pocket inside the large pleat.

Another feature of both bags is the extended bumper design that helps wrap the bag around the body. The right bumper that wraps the side of the body doubled as a mounting point for accessories and pouches for modular use.
