Every time I carry this bag, I am reminded of the fineness of Japanese culture.
About 10 years ago, I met Kenta, the brand director, through a mutual acquaintance, the owner of a record store, who was using one of the first Beruf Baggage backpacks at Coqdo Records in Shibuya at the time, and I became a fan of the brand. I became a fan of the brand after seeing it.
I myself use it to store and protect my portable audio and DJ gear, as well as the things I carry with me every day besides my analog records and laptop. . it also makes a perfect companion to travel with when I go on tour.
For this collaboration, I used the "Urban Explorer 20," one of my favorites in the lineup, as a base and added the SRM logo that represents the spirituality of SRM to it. I hope this backpack will be indispensable not only for DJs and musicians like me who travel the world, but also for people who enjoy a variety of lifestyles.
I am now very proud to have been able to produce this backpack, which is as stylish as the rest of the BELF BAGGAGE bags," he said.
