60th Anniversary Backpack Limited Edition $150







Vintage Americana sells...and for good reason. The designs stand the test of time---and the backpacks stand-out amongst all the technical gear.


These, by Kelty---are some of the best we have seen---no wonder they retail at hip fashion outlets---





KELTY is a multi-faceted company celebrating its 60th anniversary.
We loved these vintage style packs that are hitting the market now-featuring leather accents, buckle straps, fashion flag emblem...and exposed nickel plate zips.





























New-vintage inspired...the Windjammer $125...an overnight bag with a 21st century laptop sleeve, grab handle, and handy shoulder straps that unclip for use...and fold away.





electronics fit in here-nice colors too






Also available-end of November-the China Clipper Bag $175-a bigger version.

Our fav---the Mocking Bird Backpack---the  side pockets are removable

Removable backstraps too.... $125.
