Walter Pak’r Backpack

Product: Walter Van Beirendonck X Eastpack FW26 Walter Pak’r Backpack
Designer: Walter Van Beirendonck

Van Beirendonck First Put A Monster On An Eastpak In 2004. It Had Eyes, Ears, A Mouth. People Noticed. Two Decades Later, The Same Face Came Back. This Time It Was Presented During The Menswear Fall/Winter 2026 Paris Fashion Week Shows, Integrated Into Utilitarian Smocks And Modular Silhouettes On The Runway. The Military Green Edition Strips The Creature Back To A Single Tone. No Contrast. No Colour Breaks. The Reflective Teeth Are Still There, glinting when the light hits at the right angle. The Red Keychain Figure Remains. Van Beirendonck Has Said He Uses Monsters And Teeth Across Collections Because Adding A Face To An Object Changes It Completely. This One Carries Twenty Years Of That Thinking.
