The Darken Days is a smaller, higher tier line from Seattle’s Maiden Noir, allowing for exploration of exceptional fabrics and limited collaborations with other brands. This season, it takes influences from the winter solstice. As the weather turns bitterly cold, the colors of our surroundings become muted. As such, the entire collection is crafted with dark wax-coated cotton canvas from the British Millerain Co. Ltd. The offering includes the collaborative Mystery Ranch Snap Dragon Day Pack (first seen in Vegas), a 5-panel Scout Cap and the Winchester Quilted Field Jacket (pictured). Several other wax-cotton outerwear pieces round out the collection.

While attending (Capsule) Show Las Vegas, we caught a sneak peek at a collaborative bag from Seattle’s Maiden Noir and Montana-based hiking pack experts Mystery Ranch. Taking a mountaineering-meets-city life approach, Maiden Noir reworked Mystery Ranch’s classic Snapdragon daypack in two muted waxed- canvas colorways – brown and black. The waterproof, 3Zip opening is ideal for easy access to all your gear, while internally, Maiden Noir expanded the standard Camelbak compartment as to store a laptop  computer. Each Mystery Ranch pack is hand made in the USA to the highest quality standards.

A very solid backpack is coming from Mystery Ranch. The 3Day Assault Pack has a good size, both ideal for your urban needs and for short trips. The colorways are also good, ranging from desert camouflage to more subtle beige, grey and black. Last but not least the backpack features tons of useful technical details. We especially like the way it opens up along the middle, all the way down, making it really easy to load and unload. The backpack is now available in the honeyee.store.
