Solo New York’s Downtown Travel Collection is a new collection designed for the busy traveller looking for a weekend escape.

Based on the success of the brand’s Duane Hybrid backpack/briefcase, Solo New York has expanded the Downtown Collection to include a collection of five travel-ready bags, including three new duffels, a backpack and an accessory kit. The collection was designed in collaboration with professional skateboarder Dave Bachinsky, founder of ShapeThree, a project that uses recycled skateboard decks to create handmade designs. 

Bachinsky crafted two custom ShapeThree handles for the Travel Collection roller duffels, and with them he traveled throughout London for a skate competition. Bachinsky is the latest Solo Creator, a series profiling aspirational individuals.
