visvim Corduroy Luggage Collection Fall/Winter 2011

One of the products we look most forward to this season from visvim, is the range of corduroy luggage. Featuring their waist bag and several of their backpacks, the Japanese brand has once again gone out of their way and developed a water resistant micro-corduroy fabric for these new luggage pieces. The outcome is not only beautiful, but also functional. The above navy version with brown leather bottom is our personal favorite.
