How RAMIDUS x Carhartt WIP Made the Perfect Accessories for Skaters
Bag and accessories brand RAMIDUS is coming together with Carhartt WIP Japan for a love letter to Japanese skaters.
With RAMIDUS being the brainchild of Ura Hara legend and fashion almighty, Hiroshi Fujiwara, this collaboration looks to nod back at its root whilst providing an effortlessly fresh take on luggage.
Having been founded in 2019, already RAMIDUS has created a cult-like following much like any brand that Fujiwara touches. This Midas touch effect is ever-present here, and as the workwear legend, Carhartt WIP, embellishes unique designs with iconic colouring and logos, the results are carrier bags fit for the urban ramblers.
With functionality and accessibility and their core, the bags partake in the role of holding all necessities for skaters and music, empowering fast-paced explorers, and city crawlers. With 9 different models varying in shapes and sizes, whether it’s fitting your skateboard in a neat and compact apartment or protecting vinyl and CDs safe and sound for the record jockeys, RAMIDUS x Carhartt WIPs nuanced approach to fashion is one of considered and cultural expertise.
With its refreshing take on luggage and niche direction, it reminds us how both brands, RAMIDUS and Carhartt, are so integrated into the scene here in Tokyo; one being a new player headed up by a fashion legend, and the other being a household name etched into the history books of style.
It’s great to see such an effort to pay homage to the ones that made both brands what they are today in such a direct and tasteful way.
