We’re excited to unveil our second collaboration with Oakland-based artist Shogun Shido. Last summer’s edition of three hand-painted Defaults sold out almost instantly––this time around we’ve expanded the collection to seven styles, available in limited quantities: Travel Pack, Radius Mini, Utility Tote Mini, Micro Messenger, Load Cell - Utility, Creative Roll, and a brand new Chalk Bag.
Shido is a multidisciplinary creative who uses art to explore the depths of introspection and observation. His subconscious stream line work is immediately recognizable, and can be seen around the Bay Area in various mediums ranging from canvas to murals, sculptures, clothing, and more.
This collaboration features Shido’s hand-painted X50 XPAC, which started out as one continuous roll of fabric before being laser cut into panels for each product. The panels were placed at random while maintaining the orientation of the original painting, with drips and splatters cascading down the bags. Each piece is one of a kind, and includes a sewn-in artist label signed by Shido.
