MANILA, Philippines - Wes Andersonian patterns prove a striking print for the limited-edition Herschel collection. With themes modeled after bird sketches not unlike the palette of The Talented Mr. Fox, with the whimsy of a Tenenbaum or, more recently, one of the boy scouts in Moonrise Kingdom, the collection takes on an otherworldly air, when people took trains to admire the blurry green landscapes whizzing by, instead of the isolating experience that is today’s budget travel.
Known for its Americana aesthetic, Herschel mades its name producing bags, backpacks and travel goods that hark to the good old days.
Find the collection at General, Bonifacio High Street Central; Bratpack, Greenbelt 5; and its stand-alone kiosk at TriNoma, level 1.
The Primer Group of Companies is the exclusive distributor of Herschel Supply Co. in the Philippines.
