The Genuine Swiss Army Blanket Duffel | US$299.95 | www.hammacher.com
feeling the need to stand out from the norm even for the bags that you use? then we have bad news for you: a bag will always be a bag. they exists in the usual form of backpack, shoulder, duffel and likes, so there’s not going to be any innovation to speak about but if a bag, specifically a duffel, were to be crafted out of 100% wool blanket first issued to the Swiss Army forty years ago, like The Genuine Swiss Army Blanket Duffel here, then that’s an entirely different story. yea, yea, you must be thinking: a wool blanket? outdoor? are you kidding me? nope, apparently not. 
cos’ thankfully, its maker has made sure that the inside are lined with tarpaulin harvested from old trucks to give it the rightful shape and keeps water out of your belongings. a plastic insert ensures a rigid bottom and on the inside a tarpaulin pouch is in place, catering to your medium-sized stuff such as books, shoes, hairspray and even your shoes, while six wool pockets, sewed onto that tarpaulin pouch, are available for delicate and smaller items such as smartphone, pens, passport et cetera. finally, a twin carrying straps crafted out from modern safety belt canvas with reinforced stitching and an integrated adjustable shoulder strap wraps up this stylish bag. it all looks good and stylish but at $299.95 a pop, this is a bag that’s not going to please everyone’s wallet.
