24hr Bag In Town Competition from Eastpak
Eastpak have recently teamed up with The European Design Institution to launch a new competition to design an all purpose 24 hour urban bag. The winner of the competition is set to win a whopping €5,000 and see your creation hit the market in 2013.
The Bag in Town competition is open to designers of all levels and experience, from the world of fashion to design & communication - It's all about having the best idea for a 24 hour bag. So break out that sketch pad and start thinking. What's it going to be... A nifty phone pocket on the strap? Or maybe a travel card holder? Or perhaps your 24 hours are rather different from the norm? There have already been some interesting entries so far!
Toon Kympers, Product Director at EASTPAK: “The Bag in Town project provides an ideal platform to invest in the talent and imagination of emerging designers from around the world. It invites new and creative interpretations of the classic EASTPAK bag as a versatile, multifunctional tool for navigating our own cities and discovering new ones.”
