If you're a grown-ass man with stuff to lug around but are sick of relying on a childish backpack to get the job done, Mike D has just the solution for you. The Beastie Boys rapper has teamed up with Clare Vivier for a new apparel line that includes, amongst a number of other accessories, sophisticated adult man bags.The collaborative collection, appropriately labeled Mike D. x Clare V. features items that the musician wanted and felt were missing from his wardrobe, and includes a wallet, passport holder, T-shirts, bandanas, sunglasses sleeves, laptop bag, and the pièce de résistance — a range of "grown man" bags that range from $75 to $625."Basically [creating this collection] was a very selfish exercise, if you want to get down to it," he told Billboard . "I was showing up at the studio all the time with no bag, being like, 'I don't want to have a backpack. I've had backpacks my whole life and I'm a grown man now. I should have something better.'"He also hinted that there might be more on the way from the fashion partnership."I think another collection would be a great excuse to get more crazy with the colours," he said. "Maybe a little shock of neon in there? Like volt green for you people? I'm joking, but I definitely think expanding out from what we've done would make sense. I'm in need of a man apron. A very manly apron."See a selection of some of the items currently available, as shared by Vivier, below.
