I think I've almost got all my bags in now. 😂

This is my Ellison Handmade Tirana Crossbody (around 6L), made just for me. The only brief I gave Ellison was: combine black and blue.

It has multiple pockets, including a really handy large quick-access pocket with a Fidlock closure.

Really happy with how it turned out. The materials feel fantastic and the craftsmanship is excellent.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share this win. Picked up a second-hand Porter-Yoshida & Co. Tanker Hip Bag shipped directly from Japan (Buyee).

Total cost was 36,000 JPY (including shipping) + €66 customs, so around €290 total. Still a lot of money, of course, but considering these retail for €450+ in Europe, it's a killer deal for an almost brand-new piece.

The fabric feels incredibly soft and premium. I love the secure front pockets (velcro + snaps), the beautiful strap design, and there is a ton of space inside this boxy shape for my daily gear. The seller threw in the original "Rescue Orange" dust bag.

What a great, enjoyable backpack this is. The first thing that immediately stands out, of course, is the beautiful color combination. It puts a smile on my face.

It’s also incredibly practical. I’ve never seen such a spacious quick-access pocket on top, with an additional padded compartment inside for your glasses. The zippers glide beautifully, and the two holders for water bottles or accessories are surprisingly roomy. I also really like that you can adjust them.

The shoulder straps are comfortable, and the chest strap is a useful addition. The laptop and tablet sleeves are easily accessible from the side.

It’s also a nice touch that they include a free microfiber cloth with the bag.

The only downside for me is the interior organization. I would have liked to see a few more dedicated pockets or compartments for tech accessories, smaller items and a pen.

All in all, this is a really pleasant backpack to use. I’m honestly surprised that the YouTube reviewers don’t even discuss the bag itself.

This is definitely not just another run-of-the-mill backpack. It offers something genuinely different from all those grey, uninspiring bags flooding the market.

Ach, het bed verschoon ik zo wel. Too sweet.

My first Goruck, my first waxed canvas. The 18L Bullet Ruck in black. It feels incredibly well made, and I absolutely love how it looks.

Never thought I'd say this, but I bought a bag from Tom Bihn. I don't find the brand’s backpacks particularly attractive (sorry... 😊), but I fell for the Side Kick in the striking Sapphire blue. It's absolutely beautiful and such a practical little bag. Nicely done, Tom Bihn.

I bought the S2OV (アッソブ) Waterproof Cordura 305D Day Pack in khaki. My first bag from a Japanese brand. It’s beautiful, stylish, and the color is gorgeous. The straps are a bit long, but I bought some strap keepers for them myself.

I own a lot of Bellroy bags, but this is my first Bellroy sling. Lovely!

I couldn't resist and ended up buying the Kuoe Old Smith. I was immediately drawn to the color - it's something I didn't have in my collection yet. I went with the larger 38mm version, and I'm glad I did.

It's a beautiful watch: clean, highly legible, and surprisingly lightweight on the wrist. Kuoe also included a nice travel pouch and a foldable watch mat, which was a classy touch and made the whole unboxing experience feel premium.

Very happy with it so far!

In het bericht over het overlijden van de Zuid-Afrikaanse voetballer Jayden Adams. Een fout die ik wel vaker zie: reden in plaats van oorzaak.

Here's my collection. Apparently I have a type: understated, stylish and minimalist. I'd pick good design over a luxury logo any day.
