San Francisco outpost Incase launched its latest range of daily carry bags called the A.R.C. Collection, an acronym for A Responsible Carry.
The collection is responsibly designed with elevated features using eco-friendly materials. It includes four different styles — the Tech Tote, the Day Pack, the Commuter Pack and the Travel Pack.
Each bag boasts RFID blocking material in the tech compartment to prevent unwanted data collection, Ortholite impressions foam for enhanced breathability and comfort, all webbing top and side handles to prevent bacterial growth and sustainable 900D X 1200D recycled polyester alongside a water-repellant coating.
The Travel Pack includes a butterfly opening for easy access, zippered mesh dividers and expansion zipper, a dedicated shoe compartment, laptop sleeve, tech compartment, front pocket and water bottle holder with a zippered closure. Billed as a “business/lifestyle crossover,” it retails for $229 USD and comes in black or navy.
The Commuter Pack features a clamshell opening, internal tie-down straps to keep things in place, strategic pocket placement to hold large and small items and features the same tech compartments to store accessories. Aimed at “refined business/lifestyle,” the bag comes in black and navy and retails for $199 USD.
The Day Pack has a clamshell opening, a main compartment with a padded laptop sleeve, a tech compartment and an interior mesh pocket, among other features. Considered to be the “one bag to do it all,” it comes in black and navy and retails for $129 USD. The sleek Tech Tote features a laptop pocket, interior organization, external pockets, top grab handles and a removable shoulder strap. A “business/lifestyle crossover,” it retails for $79 USD and comes in black and navy.
“The A.R.C. Collection is an intentional step forward for Incase, rooted in the brand’s legacy of purpose-driven design focused on performance, simplicity and innovation while representing everything we stand for today,” said CEO Brian Stech in a statement.
The bags are available globally on the brand’s website.
