It’s pretty amazing how much stuff we can cram into our backpacks, from laptops to 2-liter water bottles to a bundle of chargers and cables. Of course, these are objects that were designed to be small enough to fit in bags in the first place, so that’s not exactly out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, we sometimes need to carry things larger than the largest backpacks in the market.
This bag might be designed for bicycle racing, but it can definitely do more than just carry spare wheels for an emergency. Its literally open design actually offers a bit more wiggle room that will let you carry large or odd-shaped items without breaking a sweat. Unless, of course, they’re actually too heavy to carry on your back.
We often think of bags as enclosed containers with a single opening, but there really isn’t a formal definition of a bag’s design. This “Bike Backpack” might look like a regular backpack from the front, but its open sides definitely break the stereotype. Then again, the idea of carrying a bicycle wheel or a large box is itself already unconventional.
The Sherman Bike Backpack has a tri-fold design that opens vertically like a flap. The idea is that you stuff things that are too large or too wide for regular bags in between the flaps, letting the sides extend beyond the bag’s confines. Alternatively, you can also hang something outside and secure it with straps.
This is how you can carry one or two bicycle wheels that are thin and light enough to put on your back while cycling or racing. Of course, boxes, drawing boards, blueprint tubes, and other large objects are also fair game, as long as you secure them properly with straps. It definitely makes for an odd sight, but your comfort and convenience definitely outweigh any awkwardness.
The backpack also has compartments for carrying regular stuff, and you might be able to use it for carrying laptops, tools, or even clothes. That said, it isn’t the ideal backpack for all weather conditions, since the open sides make it very vulnerable to water, snow, and even dust.
There is a certain fascination that people have with the Japanese art of the samurai, whether it’s through movies, books, anime, and even just the accessories in general. Combining it with other Japanese cultural things will appeal to a certain market, even if those things may just be decorative and not totally functional.
Designer: Noriki Okada
Randoseru are leather backpacks used by Japanese school children that are made to last for years. But this particular version of the backpack is probably not something you’d let your kid use or even you yourself would use. It is hand-crafted and intricately designed, inspired by the samurai tradition. The yellow, black, and red backpack would have looked right at home in the 11th century, if there were expensive, leather bags back then.
Leather craftsman Noriki Okada created this bag from scrap pieces from other bags and have some accents like small leather plates and brass rivets. There are even faces of oni demons on the sides to add to the samurai theme. The manufacturer, Murase Kabanko, says that they are recommending that you just use this for “decorative purposes” although you can of course use it if you don’t mind carrying something that looks heavy and ornate.
Each bag that they are selling is handmade so you would have to wait around 6 months for it to get to you. And of course it’s expensive given all that. If you have around $3,300 and are a collector of samurai inspired things, go for it.
Traveling light is often not as easy as it sounds. Navigating a narrow aisle on a regional jet or waiting on the tarmac in a snowstorm for your gate-checked bag can make even the simplest of trips cumbersome. That’s the challenge that led to the creation of Onli Travel and the Trilogy Modular Travel System—born from a firsthand experience with air travel frustrations and a powerful question: Why couldn’t luggage adapt to these challenges?
Onli Travel’s latest release, the Trilogy Modular Travel System, is built on versatility, adaptability, and convenience. It’s not just another travel bag; it’s a modular luggage system designed to adapt to meet the needs of a wide range of travelers, from weekenders to globetrotters. Built from years of iteration and user feedback, the Trilogy represents Onli Travel’s quest for a better way to carry what matters.
This system gives you three different bags that come together—or apart—as needed. Unlike traditional luggage that must be either fully checked or fully carried, the Trilogy breaks down into separate components that fit under airplane seats or in crowded compartments, avoiding gate checks and streamlining your travel experience. It’s three bags in one: a compact, expandable tote, a spinner that fits under an airplane seat, and a larger, expandable rear backpack unit.
The Expandable Tote Pack front unit features a redesigned strapping system that lets you carry it as a backpack, shoulder bag, or tote. The middle unit, an expandable spinner, is stronger and more stable and designed to support smaller bags on top without toppling over. The rear unit has also been redesigned with accessibility in mind—a larger panel allows access even when combined with the middle section, and a hidden pocket provides secure storage.
Onli Travel’s Penta 5-in-1 Packable Duffel, a related modular new product, enhances the Trilogy system. The Penta Duffel supports those unexpected needs—a market run, a last-minute detour, or just a day out. It functions as a duffel, backpack, shoulder bag, belt bag, or crossbody, adding lightweight capacity right when needed.
The Trilogy aims to eliminate the need to check a bag. Each piece is designed to be stowed under a seat or into a tight overhead compartment, making gate-checking as obsolete as possible. Since Onli Travel’s inception, this concept has been tested and refined across dozens of flights, leading to over 20 engineering and design improvements. The Expandable Tote, Spinner, and Weekender Daypack are easy to open—clamshell-style for organized packing or top-loading for casual trips.
Over the past two years, Onli Travel has worked with real travelers, sending beta testers across Japan, Spain, Poland, and Ukraine, among other places, to test the Trilogy. This field testing validated the design and guided many changes. Travelers asked, and Onli listened—redesigning everything from the strapping system to reinforcements for stability, making this the most advanced modular spinner the company has produced.
Onli Travel understands that travel means freedom—freedom to move smoothly from a business meeting to an adventure without swapping bags. The Trilogy offers that freedom, making travel a seamless experience. Each detail has been refined to serve a purpose—even the packing cubes, designed to fit the bags perfectly, help reduce stress, and keep everything organized.
The purpose is clear—to take the hassle out of travel and replace it with flexibility. Fitting your bag into a tight cabin or walking hands-free through crowded streets, the Trilogy has you covered. With its versatile, expandable components and thoughtful features, the Trilogy redefines traveling light, traveling smart, and traveling with peace of mind. After all, travel should focus on what you’re seeing and doing—not worrying about your luggage.
With the Trilogy Modular System, Onli Travel has created something beyond just luggage—they’ve created a travel companion. One that adjusts to your needs, grows when you need extra space, and simplifies the entire traveling experience. And that’s something every traveler could use.
Five years ago Dave Logan designed what we called the ‘only bag you’ll ever need’… now he’s back with an even better redesign.
Logan’s bags (designed under the moniker Onli Travel) had one uniting design detail that made them spectacular – they were like the Power Rangers, independently capable, but also had the ability to unite and become better than the sum of their parts. Onli Travel’s latest design, dubbed the Trilogy, builds on that concept. Made of three distinct parts – a spinner (or a trolley bag), a tote, and a daypack – the Trilogy can be used independently as regular pieces of luggage, paired with one another to create unique combinations based on your need, or all joined together like a club-sandwich that lets you practically carry your life with you in one single cohesive unit.
Ask anyone who travels a lot what their secret to effectively carrying stuff is, and they’ll answer – modularity. It’s simple – one size never fits all, and if your bag is a standard bag that’s rigid in its offerings, it won’t help you. Different people have different needs, and sometimes those needs also change based on mood, scenario, and time of the day. A modular carrying solution is the best way give people what they want, sort of like having a smartphone where people can install the apps they need and not be stuck with the apps you want them to have. Logan’s Trilogy series tries to do that. The three bags are vastly different, made for different scenarios – but they come together when you need them to. Strutting across an airport with your luggage, the bags attach together so you can wheel them as one unit. Scared your laptop bag might get stolen? Zip it off and carry it on your back. Want to unfold everything for the TSA during a security check? The bags are easy to disassemble and lay flat. Boarded your plane late and now don’t have enough space in the stowaway area for your bag? Split them apart so they can jigsaw-piece their way into the overhead storage space. Want to work or watch a movie while flying, one of the bags can literally strap to the back of the seat in front of you, turning into a work-table or entertainment center. All this happens while the Trilogy keeps all your belongings safe, secure, and segregated. Every part of the Onli Travel Trilogy has purpose, and is designed flawlessly to fulfill that purpose… I can’t say that about many other carrying solutions.
Each of the Trilogy’s individual parts is in itself, a complete bag. The spinner, or the trolley case, is perfectly cabin-bag sized, but is spacious enough to carry your luggage comfortably. It’s designed to be expandable, should you need to carry more, and has a mild wedge-shaped profile that allows it to easily tuck under seats of airplanes, just in case the overhead cabins are full. The spinner comes with a fabric construction, but boasts a reinforced top so you can rest a backpack on it while walking through the airport, as well as reinforced sides so the spinner holds its shape remarkably well. On the inside, you have ample space for your stuff, and Onli Travels even has a compatible modular cube packing system for seamless organizing. There are pouches/pockets on the outside too, for storing easy-access belongings like important documents, an umbrella, or a bottle of water. To make carrying the spinner easy, it comes with handles on three sides… and if the spinner’s storage isn’t enough, let’s not forget that it lets you snap two extra bags to it – the daypack, and the tote.
The Expandable Tote and the Weekender Daypack are similar in format – but are designed for different purposes. The Daypack, as its name suggests, is for day-trips, while the tote is the perfect bag to have on yourself for work, commutes, or even stepping out to hit a cafe. The tote is styled to be carried on one shoulder, but can be worn as a backpack too. It’s big enough to comfortably fit a 17” laptop, has pockets on the front and side for storing multiple belongings, and has an expandable design that accommodates more just in case the existing storage isn’t enough. While traveling, the tote can be attached to a seat in front of you using a set of straps, and a zip-down shelf on the top gives you a small yet convenient tabletop surface that fits an iPad or a small tiffin box perfectly. Overall, the tote’s designed with waterproof fabric, has lockable zippers, and even boasts RFID protection against digital theft.
The Weekender Daypack is just as efficient as the Tote, but think of it as your bag for out-of-city trips. It comes with shoulder as well as sternum straps, has ample storage, boasts an expandable design, and even has underpack storage for items like a rolled-up sleeping bag, yoga mat, etc. The bag’s clamshell zippers allow it to open absolutely flat (perfect for TSA inspection), revealing the inner storage compartment that is big enough to house a 17” laptop comfortably, along with an iPad or tablet. The daypack also comes with its fair share of pockets for storing all your belongings, making it just the right bag for a quick getaway or day trip.
The beauty of these bags, regardless of their shape/size/ability, is that they can either work independently, or unite to create ‘super’ bags. Each bag can be attached to the other – so your day-pack can be zipped to your tote for a large shoulder-worn backpack, or to your spinner for a bulky carry-on that can easily be wheeled around everywhere. The tote can fasten to the spinner too, and if you want to join all three together, it’s entirely possible. That particular arrangement is ideal for making sure all your bags are together at all times, but when the going gets tough, each of the bag can separate out, giving you individual compact pieces of luggage that are a little more convenient to manage and access.
The Trilogy set comes in a choice between 3 colors – Black, Blue-Wing Teal, and a Rust-like Zinfandel. The ballistic nylon fabric used on the bags is tough, water-resistant, and can easily endure regular commutes or even rough airport handling. Onli even makes a Trilogy 8-piece packing cube set as an add-on which pairs perfectly with your 3 bags. These packing cubes are perfect for clothes, toiletries, shoes, dirty laundry, precious items, and even your tech gear like chargers, cables, etc. And if you’ve bought Onli Travel’s Revolution bags from its previous campaign, the packing cubes AND the Trilogy bags are backward compatible, allowing you to mix and match to create your perfect piece of luggage. The Trilogy Modular System ships globally starting in late November, so if you grab yours now, you might just have your bags arrive just before you go on holiday!
We might call them laptops, but these portable desktops are not really great for being used on your lap. Never mind the heat that will cook your thighs and other body parts, it leaves you in a painful posture that might leave your neck and wrists cursing you. That said, sometimes we can’t exactly choose the location where we need to open up a laptop to get something done quickly, and there may or may not be a table available to set it down. This briefcase-like concept tries to alleviate some of that discomfort by providing not just a home for the laptop but also a slightly more ergonomic height even when you use it on a table.
Designer: Shivaprasad Vijayan
Laptops are convenient and powerful when you need a computer on the go, but their very design wasn’t exactly made with ergonomics in mind. You crane your neck and hold your hands at an unnatural angle, and that’s when you have it on a desk without any other accessories. And while laptops are portable in a sense, the need for a large power brick, a mouse, and any other peripherals means you’ll need to carry more than just the laptop itself.
LAPCASE is a concept that tries to resolve all the issues attached to a laptop’s usability when on the go, at least to some extent. It’s a laptop bag, technically more like a briefcase, that has room not just for the laptop but for all accessories you might need to bring along with it. It doesn’t just have pockets but actual dividers that organize those peripherals while also keeping them from getting tangled and protecting them against bumps and shocks.
The most important part, of course, is the laptop compartment at the top which is covered by a two-fold magnetic flap. This cover is set to an angle so that the laptop’s back is raised slightly when placed on it. The idea is to rest the laptop on top of the bag when using it, which raises it higher when placed on your lap or raises the screen to a slightly ergonomic height when on a table.
The concept definitely has merit, but there are a few drawbacks to the execution. For one, you will require an external keyboard whenever you use it on a table, as the laptop’s own keyboard will be too high for comfortable typing. And then there’s the issue of the case itself being too bulky, especially at a time when people are trying to actually carry smaller laptop bags. Then again, you are practically carrying a mobile office, so it might be a trade-off worth paying for the convenience of bringing everything you need whenever you leave the office.
Balenciaga’s bold and cheeky approach to luxury fashion brings us two accessories that turn the mundane into high-fashion absurdity: the Chips Bag and the Trash Pouch. These items exemplify creative director Demna’s knack for turning everyday objects into expensive statements, making us question our perceptions of value and style. But let’s raise the question: is it real talent to copy the design of a bag of chips or a trash bag, or is it just pure stupidity? You be the judge. And another thought—could this be a way for the rich to say, “I have money to throw away,” without actually saying it? Is flaunting a trash bag purse the new subtle brag, or just a hilarious fashion faux pas?
Designer: Balenciaga
The Chips Bag is a whimsical creation that mixes humor with high craftsmanship. Made from glossy calfskin, it resembles a crumpled, nearly empty snack bag, complete with intricate chip artwork printed on both the front and back. It comes in three “flavors”: yellow for cheese and onion, red for spicy chili, and blue for salt and vinegar. Each variant features aged-silver hardware and zipped closure, ensuring the bag is as practical as it is eye-catching. The playful design and detailed execution make the Chips Bag a standout accessory in any fashion-forward wardrobe. At $1,850, it’s an extravagant take on a common item, perfect for those who appreciate a bit of humor in their style.
On the flip side, the Trash Pouch takes its inspiration from the unglamorous garbage bag. Priced at $1,790, this accessory is made from calfskin leather and features drawstring ties, mimicking the look of a typical kitchen garbage bag. Available in black, white, yellow, and blue, the Trash Pouch pushes the envelope by turning an object associated with waste into a high-end fashion item. But seriously—who in their right mind would own this? It’s almost as if they raided a toddler’s toy chest and decided that dragging around a trash bag full of plush toys was the height of chic. Its minimalist design and luxurious material create a striking contrast that makes you laugh and shake your head at the absurdity of high fashion. The Trash Pouch’s subtle logo and high-quality craftsmanship might make it a unique addition to any collection, but it also makes you seriously question what on earth we consider fashionable these days.
Let’s be honest—the Chips Bag and the Trash Pouch both make bold statements about luxury fashion, statements that might be best accompanied by a smirk and an eye roll. The Chips Bag offers a playful commentary on consumer culture, transforming a familiar, everyday item into a high-fashion accessory. It’s a conversation starter and perfect for those who enjoy a mix of humor and style. The Trash Pouch, however, reimagines an item typically associated with disposability and waste, challenging our perceptions of luxury. This provocative piece questions the very essence of what makes an item fashionable, poking fun at the idea of paying top dollar for something that looks like it belongs under your sink.
So, which would you prefer to carry: the cheeky Chips Bag that adds a humorous twist to your outfit, or the Trash Pouch, a bold statement piece that questions the very essence of luxury? With prices being equal, the choice ultimately depends on your style and sense of humor. Balenciaga’s designs make bold statements in the fashion world, reminding us that sometimes, fashion is about having a good laugh at its own expense. Whether you choose the snack-inspired whimsy of the Chips Bag or the provocative commentary of the Trash Pouch, one thing is certain: Balenciaga continues to push the boundaries of what we consider stylish and valuable, all while giving us a wink and a nudge.
Introducing the HMD’s Phonecore range, which is a destined conversation starter no matter the gathering you are heading into. This range of smartphone-inspired accessories includes a pair of Pulse Pro-inspired sunglasses that look like an impressive pair of smart glasses, a smartphone backpack, and a belt that’s made to hold your phone like a policeman’s walkie-talkie in the belt.
The striking smart glasses and other accessories in glacier green color are made by HMD in partnership with fashion designer Sinead Gorey. Made during the London Fashion Week, the eyewear is a little like a functional pair of smart glasses we have seen over the years; it’s a statement-making device with elongated rectangular black lenses and an oversized frame that mimics the screen of the new phone.
Besides the glasses, the Phonecore range in itself is intended to accentuate the HMD Pulse Pro unlike anything gimmicky seen before. The range of accessories has the industry talking about its oversized design and bold outlook, which ‘won’t make you smart but would definitely make the HMD smartphone, smarter.’
Along with the oversized glasses, as mentioned above, the Phonecore range includes a mobile backpack. This is a 3D-printed backpack which is big enough to only carry a smartphone. It is complemented by a toolkit-style belt with a pouch, designed again to carry nothing but your phone. Interestingly, none of these accessories are usable in real-life scenarios, it’s only to satiate your style quotient.
HMD Pulse Pro is a discussion-worthy debut smartphone under their own brand. It comes with interesting new features, which are unique to the sub $200 range, like affordable spare parts for at-home reparability, over three years of updates, and fast storage. But the aspect that kills it really is its 50-megapixel front camera with gesture-activated selfie features. The phone bleeds tech and its supporting accessories catapult that richness to new style heights. The complementing Phonecore collection will be available in limited quantities for style seekers.
Contrary to popular belief, bags aren’t about storage… they’re about access. You see, every bag offers storage, it’s how you use and access that storage that makes a difference. Now most backpack makers recognize that the laptop is perhaps the most critical part of bag design (it needs to have a padded sleeve with a quick-access design), but what about those bags that AREN’T designed for laptops? Well, that’s where things get murky because then bags start becoming vague. They offer storage and expect you to figure out how to store and access your belongings. A sling bag’s design really doesn’t focus on anything, it offers an oddly triangular storage pocket that isn’t specifically designed for anything, and can be annoying to access quickly. A camera bag, on the other hand, is tailor-made just for cameras… not gaming gear or drones. With bags either focusing too much on specific storage or not enough, the ISHO-X5 boldly creates an all-purpose sling bag that shapeshifts to suit your changing demands. Designed to store (and organize) your gear, whether it’s cameras and lenses, drones, gaming tech, or even EDC, the ISHO-X5 doesn’t just offer versatile storage, it offers versatile access too, with clamshell ingress, side-access, and a unique X-Wing divider that lets you segregate your gear efficiently so that you can quickly take them out when you need.

The sling format is a unique one because it can be carried in multiple ways. You can either wear it across the front like you would a camera bag, letting you access the contents the instant you see something worth photographing, or across the side or back, sort of like a conventional sling or messenger bag. The ISHO-X5’s rectangular design also lets it easily fit into larger backpacks or travel bags, offering modular storage in ways those ridiculous triangular sling bags can’t.
What the ISHO-X5 gets absolutely right is the idea that bags are about access. The sling offers ample storage, but also lets you access its storage in a variety of ways. The main door opens partially so you can dig in for stuff, or opens fully in a clamshell style so you can actually take your gear comfortably. The bag’s strap attachments actually let you quickly flip the main flap to face upwards, bringing the main door to the top so things don’t fall out as you open the bag. Additionally, the bag also rotates to face a side door to the top, giving you quick access to pull a camera or drone out in an instant, without having to fish other items out of the way.
The ISHO-X5’s compact design packs a surprisingly spacious 5.5L interior, allowing you to carry 80% more gear compared to similar-sized slings. The cuboidal shape of the bag does a remarkable job of being space-efficient, while the compact padding lets you easily store items without worrying about them bumping up against each other. The X-Wing divider helps you further segregate your spaces to suit your gear perfectly. Think of it as bubble wrap that fits in between your items, shapeshifting depending on whether you’ve got a DSLR or a drone or even a Nintendo Switch. The design team sought inspiration from Richard Neutra’s concept of “The Changing House,” a modernist piece of architecture designed with an adaptable multifunctional format, and open layouts. The bag’s cube shape and ample access points pay homage to its architectural inspiration, and the X-Wing allows you to create over 12 different layouts to perfectly organize your specific gear.
If that wasn’t enough, the bag comes with a removable/adjustable strap, external accessory-carrying straps, and a 9-pocket mini panel on the main flap for all your small gear from your passport and AirPods to every single memory card. The outer cover is made from a combination of a high tenacity 100% recycled Nylon 6,6 fabric with a weatherproof carbonate coating, and a diamond ripstop Nylon reinforced with Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). If that sounds like too much jargon, here’s all you need to know – the ISHO-X5 is weather-resistant and abrasion-resistant, so a thunderstorm or a tumble downhill won’t do anything to the bag or the items inside. Yes, the bag also features YKK zippers to keep everything up to code.
Although designed to be used independently, the ISHO-X5 pairs wonderfully well with your existing backpack or travel case too. Designer Carry Cubo also makes its own bags and backpacks, all with the same materials, aesthetics, and attention to detail as the ISHO-X5. The smart sling bag comes in 3 color options and starts at $169, although YD readers get a 15% discount with the coupon code YANKO15.

I personally know some people who go through sneakers and trainers like they go through toilet paper. Okay that maybe an exaggeration but there are a lot of collectors and wearers out there who do spend a lot on this kind of footwear and dispose of their old ones in a not so sustainable manner. So when we see designers and brands that recycle or upcycle these things as part of sustainable fashion, we pay attention and if we can afford it, we support them. If you also like owning limited edition pieces, then this new collection may be something you’d like to add to your closet.
Bibi Bazz is a brand that focuses on upcycling and their Genesis Collection brings handcrafted bags made from damaged or deadstock trainers. This is just the first drop in their collection and is made up of limited edition shoulder bags and crossbody styles that can make you look like an eco-friendly rockstar. Aside from the different colors and textures, these bags also come with denim shoulder straps for a chic look. They also have interior pouches if you need to secure some small items.
The Fresh Start Trainer cross body bag uses deadstock Puma trainers in white and black colors. The Emerge Trainer Bag is a shoulder bag using a blue base with pink details and a denim strap as well. If you want something with bolder colors, the Rebirth Trainer is a crossbody bag with blue and neon orange hues with white accents. Meanwhile, the Revive Trainer is a crossbody bag with a red base and black patterns. If you’re more adventurous in your color palette, you can get the Renewal Trainer bag with its mix of neon lime, black, and green colors or the Pioneer Trainer Bag with its neon orange, pink, and yellow hues.
The bags from the Genesis Collection has a price range of £70-100. They’re in fact the first items available for the launch of Bibi Bazz’ online store. Even though the model on their website is a woman, the bags “transcend gender” and are meant to not only be eco-friendly but also inclusive. Since there are only limited items available, you might want to buy your upcycled trainer bags now.
