Combining PAM’s seminal influences and strong ties with tribal culture, with the
functional design and hardwearing production techniques of Crumpler, the PAM x
Crumpler capsule collection employs a design process of concept-driven aesthetics
and practicality.

The resulting bags and accessories feature a woven basket digital print, textured
ripstop and tapestry fabrics to mark the lineage from ancient, handmade modes of
transfer and textile to modern design and function.

The accompanying video and lookbook respond to this by demonstrating a nomadic
yet furnished life made possible by model luggage solutions.
