The Reise weekend bags from Nörsea Industries take their inspiration from the rugged North England coastline from where the label hails. Reworking traditional fabrics from the remote region, they feature hand-trimmed leather handles and use authentic silversmithing techniques.
Ideal for travel during the impending holiday season, the roomy bags hold an array of essentials without the unnecessary weight of traditional carry-on suitcases. Available in a variety of fabrics and patterns, as well as solids, the durable weekenders bodies are made of either cotton tapestry or industrial felt.
The bags sell for $190-290 at Le Bon Marche in Paris, with the rest of their fetching nautical collection at Opening Ceremony stores in L.A., New York and Tokyo.
