Solo New York, a leading, urban-inspired designer of backpacks, totes, duffells, briefs, and sleeves, today unveiled the new Downtown Travel Collection, a sharp new collection that’s designed for the busy traveler looking for a weekend escape.
Based on the success of the brand’s Duane Hybrid backpack / briefcase – the top-selling laptop bag in the U.S. (NPD Group) – Solo New York has expanded the Downtown Collection to include a unique collection of five travel-ready bags, including three new duffels, a backpack and an accessory kit. The style, features and approachable price points make the Downtown Travel Collection a perfect choice for those looking to get out of the office for weekend getaway.
Serkan Ozturkcan, Vice President of Marketing, Solo New York said:
“Solo New York has always been about creating designs that go above and beyond the needs of our customers, and the new Downtown Travel Collection demonstrates that you can have it all: good-looking, durable bags with all the amenities needed to create memories on weekends away. It’s always exciting to see how our brand becomes a part of our customers’ lifestyles, whether they are at the office or traveling for the weekend.”
Solo New York launches the new Downtown Travel Collection in collaboration with professional skateboarder Dave Bachinsky, founder of ShapeThree, a project that uses recycled skateboard decks to create handmade designs. Bachinsky crafted two custom ShapeThree handles for the Travel Collection roller duffels, and with them he traveled thouout London for a skate competition. Bachinsky is the latest Solo Creator, a series profiling aspirational individuals. The Solo Creators video documenting Bachinsky’s travels and ShapeThree is available at HERE
