Blending into professional and international settings isn't always easy. So, when we were approached by end-users to create packs that could fit in on their personal adventures and professional missions domestically and abroad, we knew we need to build a collection that was both modern and stylish without lacking function.
The Ardennes Collection was inspired by the natural elements in European construction, like canvas and leather. We've chosen premium simulated-wax canvas for the main body fabric for its water and stain resistance, strength and longevity. The packs also feature durable genuine leather trims and a unique camouflage jacquard lining.
Named for the Ardennes Forest, a key battle location during WWII, the collection's design calls back to the rugged rucksacks carried by US infantrymen in the European and Pacific theaters. The utilitarian design of these packs blends with the core functionality of Vertx® bags resulting in a collection that is both practical and stylish for everyday carry.
