Engineered Garments × Chrome Industries

Founded in 1995, Colorado's Chrome Industries started out in a garage, building their first bag using the seatbelt from an Oldsmobile for a tougher buckle than those available in catalogs.

The 24-litre 'Citizen' is the company's first model, with their signature padded buckle strap and a large storage capacity. A zippered laptop pocket, magnetic closure pockets and a carry handle make it an extremely practical everyday bag. The strap can be swapped from left to right depending on your preference.

For this limited edition collaborative model, Engineered Garments have used a black crocodile pattern across the entire bag and added a stash pocket on the shoulder strap for extra utility.
