Certainly famous for their extremely detailed and functional luggage line, visvim reprises the ever-popular 20L daypack with a return of the LAMINA CORDUROY. This time around the colors are a tad brighter to suit the sunny summer days ahead, with a new use of hand-dyed suede for the accent patches and bottom shelf. The corduroy used proves to be a rugged-yet-soft material to withstand urban lifestyles and outdoor activities. Now available online for a small fortune!
visvim Ballistic 20L, is an amazing backpack and now returns for Spring/Summer 2012. There has been lots of materials and colours already, but never like this before. visvim is getting colorful and presents a color block design on the latest drop, with each backpack coming with numerous strong colors on the upper, acting as a nice contrast to the brown elk leather bottom. Look out for these at visvim retailers this week.
A rather interesting release comes this week from the visvim Footwear Collection. The Tabi Sashiko-Folk is a play on more traditional Japanese footwear, featuring a split-toe design. The upper is made of a premium suede with most of being covered in embroidery. The Japanese brand clearly shows in this release their deep knowledge and drive to release highly sophisticated and detailed product.
In the desire to have his customers experience a wide range of luxuries, visvim‘s founder Hiroki Nakamura often seeks exotic materials as the foundation for his footwear design. One example is the new FBT Kudu JP, completely hand made with Kudu hide, a free roaming antelope found only in parts of Africa. Lined with cow hide and a natural cork footbed, all treated with natural dyes, or in some cases no dyes at all. The end product, in visvim’s signature moccasin silhouette, is something extremely breathable and light on your feet. To enhance the design further, Nakamura added a durable outsole, custom-made by Vibram, with a TPU heel stabilizer for rigidity. Comes in Dark Brown or Bordeaux, though unfortunately the editions will only be available in The land of the rising sun.
