Refined Utility Design
The Only Kind utility pieces are created to be light-weight and adjustable. They are meant to carry only the bare essentials.
Designed with easy access points in mind, the storage components are located on the chest, lower abdomen, and legs. The harness and leg strap hold fewer items than the belt, so that weight will not limit mobility.
Color Mood: “Bloom”
“Bloom”
The Only Kind color palette reflects the beauty of nature. From soft cream to volcanic red, colors derived from flowers convey a unique duality of authentic richness and airy lightness. These emotions relate to our ethical and function-based design approach that hopes to make people bloom in any activity they pursue.
Packaging Concept
Only Kind’s packaging is made of a bamboo and bagasse composite and is bio-degradable. The carrier is created using a simple mold that heats and compresses the plant’s fibers. No glues or harmful adhesives are used. Both materials are sourced and manufactured to promote the economic resources of Vietnam.
