We partnered with 22by9 on a small number of one-off dopp kits and an even smaller number of their new “signal” tote — all constructed from natural cotton ripstop with hand-painted panels encased in .67oz dyneema.
We each dug around under porches and in corners of garages to find supplies and ended up with half-spent spray cans, hunks of sidewalk chalk, years-old house paint, and other dregs of old art projects then put them in a pile and proceeded to “cook up some fine work in the stu.” Painted sections of ripstop were covered with the super-light, translucent composite fiber for a sort of “foggy window” effect. The combo also makes for a pretty interesting tactile sensation.
The signal tote is a practical, simplified daily bag with a removable shoulder strap and tote handles that tuck neatly into the outer pockets when not in use. It also has an interior gridstop zip pouch to keep valuables secure.
Each bag in the release already has a fun one-off look and the exposed ripstop panels will develop their own personalized lines and marks over time as well.
