Trakke x Timorous Beasties — a wild experiment in textile design
November 13, 2014

Scottish outdoor lifestyle brand Trakke have launched their wildest collection yet, produced in collaboration with textile designers Timorous Beasties. (I have to admit to having a soft spot for both brands, as they were founded by Glasgow School of Art graduates like myself).
Their limited-edition range of five bags is made from digitally printed waxed cotton — which as far as I know — is something that hasn’t been done before.
Mixing old and new techniques to beautiful effect, the resulting products combine the usual hard-wearing construction of Trakke, with the distinctive prints and vivid colour that Timorous Beasties are renowned for.
Available exclusively from the Trakke website, the collection starts at £75. It’s also worth noting that each bag is handmade in Scotland using British made materials, not something that many brands can say these days.
