Two of the best are coming together for a capsule of carry gear, with Bellroy bringing a grip of signature pieces to the table and NBA basketballer, Olympic medallist and proud Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian, Patty Mills, bringing his touch to the limited collection.
Aboriginal artwork is featured throughout the lining within the collection and debossed into the leather accents, which have been commissioned by Shane Cook of the Wulli Wulli people and Guwa (Koa) people, and Moana Ahwang of the Wagadagam people of Mabuyag Island, Torres Strait, to feature totems of Patty Mills’ family, the warmer bird and sea turtle, along with pattern work representing community and travel.
There are six pieces in the capsule, with Bellroy’s iconic Apex Passport Cover and Apex Slim Sleeve, both constructed with pre-molded leather that doesn’t need to be broken in and RFID lining to ensure you’re protected wherever your journey takes you. The Apex Passport cover also has itself a nifty pen enclosed—a necessity when traveling.
The Classic Sling, or bumbag, is of course already proving popular for those traversing the local concrete jungle as well as anyone traveling further afield. As per, Bellroy’s design thinking reigns supreme with the likes of a raised sunglasses pouch within, an expandable gusset for more space when you need it, and just the right amount of slip pockets and magnetic closures for easy access.
The mac-daddy from Patty in the collection is of course the 20L Classic Backpack. It’ll fit up to a 16” laptop, there’s again plenty of slip pockets, a raised (and waterproof) sunglasses or phone pouch, and sturdy leather finishings for the most-used areas on the bag.
And as is standard with this stellar Aussie brand, the three-year warranty applies to the Bellroy x Patty Mills collection.
