As any seasoned dad can attest, the rewards of fatherhood are very quickly blighted by the embarrassment of lugging around all that cutesy baby gear. It's a sad day when a Kilgour suit gets accessorized with a pink quilted nappy sack.
To prevent this travesty, two New York City dads — Marcus Wainwright and David Neville, the British design team behind the downtown label Rag & Bone — considered rugged outdoorsmen's bags from Filson. "A guy doesn't look good carrying a Skip Hop diaper bag with an incorporated changing station," explains Wainwright, who is particularly focused on accessories as Rag & Bone expands its sundries line.
This Filson Tin Cloth Tote might have been created to haul fishing tackle and clay pigeons, but it just as neatly tucks away bottles, blankies, and playthings — with room to spare for grown-up necessities. The best part: looking forward to that blessed day when your eight-pound bundle of joy hits school age and your bag can finally be restored to its rightful purpose, in the field.
