Messenger bags are all over the place these days. Sometimes it might seem to be getting boring, but on the other site, just like with New Era caps people have to get more creative in order to stick out in the mass of releases.
Here you see the latest Benny Gold creations for Timbuk2, one of the classic bike messenger bag suppliers out of San Francisco. He created for them the “Chain Plaid” pattern, which is as you could have guessed, the mix of classic plaid and a bike chain. Turns out to be looking pretty good. The bags come in different sizes and colorways and will be released this coming Thursday at the Timbuk2 flagship store in San Francisco.

The photographer has worked with Warhol, Basquiat at the early stage of his career and is also known for taking pictures of Fab 5 Freddy, Run DMC and some of you might know his work from the Beastie Boys Cover of Ill Communication. As you can see, a very interesting and talented artist.
