BAGSINPROGRESS x Engineered Garments - FW24 Collaboration Capsule Collection
New York — August 24, 2024 - We are thrilled to announce the first collaboration between BAGSINPROGRESS (BIP), a New York-based handbag brand founded in 2010, and Engineered Garments. This exciting partnership brings together the unique strengths of both New York brands, resulting in a capsule collection that features three models, each available in three distinct fabrications.
Fabrications by Engineered Garments:
Daiki Suzuki, the designer of Engineered Garments, personally handpicked three innovative fabrications from his FW24 collection to incorporate into BIP’s most iconic models. These fabrics include Black Vegan Suede, Black Quilted Vegan Leather, and gorgeous Leopard-Print Double-Faced Nylon.
Three models by BAGSINPROGRESS:
These special fabrics were applied to three of BIP’s most iconic and long-selling models. Typically crafted from nylon canvas, these styles have undergone an exciting transformation through the use of unique materials selected by Engineered Garments, resulting in further elevated products. Details of each model are provided at the end of this release.

About BAGSINPROGRESS:
BAGSINPROGRESS is a specialty New York City brand that creates better products for contemporary living. Our goal is to create your “tool-bag” for modern life, the only bag you will ever want to use, day in, day out. Timelessly constructed in elegant simplicity on the outside and inside, each design is architecturally kitted out with maximum functions in mind.
"In progress" implies the idea of an ongoing evolution or of being en route to the creation of something better. Just as our computers, mobile devices, and software receive updates, the bags we use on a daily basis should also adapt to our changing needs and the spirit of the times. We plan and design the functionality in our bags with that idea in mind. At BIP, we are constantly updating ourselves to be a brand relevant to today's lifestyle. That's where the name BAGSINPROGRESS comes from.
