Footwear firm Keen have taken the outdoor market by storm in recent years, and now they've turned their attention to rucksacks and luggage.
The new, eco-friendly range usess recycled materials including aluminium buckles harvested from drinks cans, recycled polyester linings and recycled rubber reclaimed from the trimming of footwear outsoles to reinforce bag strength and stability.
The range includes deluxe messenger bags such as the Alameda (£99.99) with removable laptop sleeve, through the spacious Hillsdale (£74.99), and on to the Hawthorne (£54.99) - a unique sling bag featuring a hollow core, molded foam back panel with centre air channel for comfort and pleated draw cord opening for easy, instant access.
Even the classic shoulder bag is given a modern face lift; the Irvington (£54.99) features a handy slash pocket under the lid and an ingenious interior light which turns on when the bag opens and shuts off when closed.
The Oswego (£54.99) and Pearl (£39.99) offer heaps of style and versatility to keep you organised on the move, whilst Keen’s range of technical daypacks are rugged enough to perform on or off the beaten track.
