William Ellery, a Brooklyn-based specializes in crafting unique vintage discoveries into functional outdoor and workwear pieces. Its latest, ‘Beachcomber Gear’, is a limited-edition range of bags and sunglasses designed to transition from beachside bliss to urban life.
First up in the collection is a series of bags created from repurposed materials sourced from commercial fishing. They are made with water-repellent mesh material, so they remain dry and sand-free when used at the beach. They are pretty much made to accompany you on any thrilling outdoor adventure you have lined up this summer.
Made with marine-grade nylon, they can accommodate all your essentials, whether basking on the beach or embarking on a thrilling camping expedition. Additionally, the bags feature a mesh panel on the front, allowing you to attach and secure your belongings conveniently.
No beach or outdoor excursion is complete without a pair of stylish sunglasses, and the collection offers two distinct varieties: the Slingshot and the Spotter. The Slingshot is quite literally as its name describes it: a slingshot. Aside from its vintage US military frames and amber lenses, it comes with a strap that can be detached and used as a slingshot. The Spotter offers similar versatility, but instead of hurling rocks, its strap can be used as a bolo tie for whenever you’re running late to a hoedown after a hike.
Beachcomber Gear launches on July 16 on the company’s website. And if you’re in New York, you can head down to the Hikerkind Showroom on July 15 to peruse the lineup before it hits shelves.
