Feel Good Friday: Gear Up and Give Back with Victorinox Travel Gear

Whether you are gearing up for back-to-school or just looking for a new bag to lug around office, gym, camping or weekend must haves, Victorinox has a great line of bags ‘with the individual in mind.’

The Altmont 3.0 (the 3rd iteration of the Altmont collection launched last January) collection has standard backpacks as well as ones designed specifically to carry lap tops.  They also have surprisingly good-looking brief cases. There are  some great looking totes and ‘mono-sling’ bags perfect for biking;  just please don’t wear them over your suit. Every bag is made with durable Versatek fabric  which is a super durable, highly breathable, windproof and water repellent fabric that Victorinox uses throughout the collection for extra protection from the elements.

This month, Victorinox is gearing up and giving back by partnering with the Boys Hope Girls Hope and Blessings in a Backpack organizations to provide backpacks to students in need – just in time for back-to-school.

For every backpack sold from the Altmont 3.0 Collection, Victorinox will be donating a backpack to help students in need, getting them excited for the coming school year. Regardless of sales, at least 200 students will receive brand new backpacks.

Both Boys Hope Girls Hope and Blessings in a Backpack help children reach their full potential in school by providing the tools they need to focus on their studies; from a stable living environment and academic support to balanced meals to take home on the weekends.

We have included a little video below about the Altmont 3.0 Collection. Enjoy and start shopping!

UNTUCKit goes beyond shirts for an ‘Untucked shoe’ with Hari Mari
The most casual shoe from the leader in the elevated casual shirt

UNTUCKit has changed the way that we wear button-up shirts. If you are a millennial or earlier generation, you remember the days when every button-up shirt was made to be tucked in, with really long front flaps and a long tail in the back to keep the shirt in place once tucked. While that is quite helpful for your favorite dress shirt and your best casual shirts, it became a sloppy mess when you wanted to wear it more casually and untuck it. That is where UNTUCKit revolutionized the fashion world. Now, they are teaming up with a company known for some of the best shoes for a great flip-flop. The UNTUCKit x Hari Mari collaboration brings the best casual shoes to the leader of the casual shirt.

"We’re excited to partner with Hari Mari to create a product that perfectly aligns with the UNTUCKit lifestyle—relaxed, stylish, and versatile," said Chris Riccobono, founder of UNTUCKit. "These flip-flops bring together the best of both brands, delivering a truly unique product precisely created and crafted for our customers."
