Little extras make the difference

MANILA, Philippines - When you travel, you can’t always take your It Bags with you — your precious python skins, your calf leather, your delicate beaded things.

You have to suck it up and carry functional totes made from materials that can withstand the weather, sleep comfortably on train floors and take the occasional coffee spills.

Sometimes, you may have to carry a bag across your body, around your waist or on your back. But you don’t have to do it without style — Hedgren bags from fashion-and-function-forward Belgium, is a brand of casual bags and travel gear that combines the spirit of Belgium with a Japanese direction, designed by Xavier Kegels.

At Hedgren, little extras make the difference. Small additions like a side pocket, inside organizer and an additional strap are the additions that make these bags unique.
