TGIF Shopping: The Trash Bag by Travelteq

Having the right bag is an urban man’s dilemma. Every day is a fine line between being prepared and having to lug around too much stuff. You never know when you’re going to have a night out and need to freshen up or spend a night away from home. And we can tell you that you don’t want to be hauling a bulky gym bag or backpack.‬‬

We’ve been there… Fortunately so have the three founders of Travelteq.

The Amsterdam-based brand has nailed the art of leather laptop bags. Their best selling “Trash Bag” is back with a detachable strap and more versatile pockets. We can assure you, you will tote anything but trash around in these bags. Handmade in Italy, the Trash Messenger is crafted from Florentine Vachetta leather and accented with a high quality, waterproof nylon lining. The new version maintains the clean lines of the original design, large enough to fit a 15-inch laptop, just with a little more room for your goods. They come in three trim varieties including navy, blue and olive all with Fox-colored leather. To make them even more ridiculously useful they have pockets for your airline ticket, mobile phone, sunglasses, and if you’re feeling like a boss – a pocket for your cigars (Sure, why the hell not?).

In the U.S. Travelteq is exclusive to online retailer Roztayger. You can visit them here to pick one up and peruse the site.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils. Both monochromatic versions feature a sculptural style and footwear technology that’ll catch anyone’s attention on the trails or city streets.
