Combining practicality, comfort, and innovation, Craig Green and Eastpak introduce their inaugural collaboration.
Eastpak and Craig Green have joined forces for their first collection, transforming a traditional backpack into a utilitarian staple.
Established in 1952 as a technological manufacturer of durable equipment for the US military, Eastpak has cultivated a reputation for reliability, exceptional quality, and impactful design. The brand has progressively evolved into the lifestyle market, encouraging and inspiring everyday people to explore the outdoors. In recent years, the Boston-based lifestyle brand has embraced collaborations with a fun, versatile twist, sharing its vision for practical, long-lasting accessories with fashion aficionados, film icons, and cultural innovators—think MM6 Maison Margiela, Telfar, and the JAWS franchise.
For Spring, Craig Green enters the scene, showcasing his flair for extravagant workwear through distinctive and practical designs. Since launching his label in 2012, the Central Saint Martins alumnus has focused on uniform designs that emphasize layering and deconstruction. Throughout his work, the designer maintains a raw, exposed detailing style that taps into a deeply personal form of expression. Today, he expands his vision onto the iconic Eastpak backpack, featuring a quilted exterior with rope-inspired details that reflect a more robust, DIY aesthetic. True to Green's style, each piece is designed for comfort with padded panels and shoulder straps. Additionally, the Quilted Travel Pack presents a versatile, 2-in-1 functionality with well-planned compartments, offering a spacious accessory that can be carried in various ways. Concluded with the Quilted Waist Bag, the collection mirrors Green’s maximalist approach to belts and handles, providing an ideal companion for daily commutes.
Presenting an earthy, muted color palette, Eastpak and Craig Green explore shades like CG Black, CG Khaki, and CG Navy across the models. The collection is set to launch today and will be available exclusively at eastpak.com.
