Topo Designs x James Brand Utility Capsule

When two of your favourite brands, in this case Topo Designs and The James Brand, join forces, it’s inevitable that you’re going to sit up and take notice and this is especially true when the collaboration is as brilliant as this Utility Capsule. The Topo Designs x The James Brand Utility Capsule brings two of the brands everyday favourites together and creates a kit that you won’t want to leave home without. Enter The James Brand’s new Redstone to the partnership; an outdoor daily-carry knife with a small footprint and loads of features.

This fantastic looking Topo Designs x The James Brand Utility Capsule is a limited edition (and will definitely sell out fast) and costs $159 which is great value given you’re getting both a first class carry from Topo and a top quality knife from The James Brand. Back in 2020, Topo launched their first collaboration with The James Brand and they’ve always been fans of their approach to design: namely, clean, modern, and utilitarian. When the chance to work together again came up, they, of course, jumped at it. End result: Awesomeness.

ROBUST, FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE

Quality is something synonymous with both these brands and it shines through in each of the products here. Topo’s Mini Shoulder Bag is the perfect cross-body carry, with rapid access to the Redstone Knife from The James Brand and other items or EDC essentials that you require while you are on the go. This pack is crafted from a super robust 100% climate neutral X-Pac nylon, and recycled 210D nylon so it’s something you can feel good about carrying with you. Remove the shoulder strap and attach to your pack or bike rack with included hook and loop straps – versatility personified.

The Redstone Knife from The James Brand is an impressive and highly functional piece of EDC that will come in handy plenty of times during your wilderness adventures. Some of the stand out features of this knife include a formed-wire pocket clip, ambidextrous slide lock mechanism, hand-hold grip design and a Sandvik 12C27 stainless-steel blade (partially serrated). This will become a tool that you’re always reaching for on camping trips and day to day tasks.

EDC is something that we’ve got an awful lot of time for here at The Coolector and both Topo Designs and The James Brand are at the top of their game in this regard. Whenever we’re in the market for some new gear, their digital shelves will invariably be one of our first ports of call – and for good reason. Their quality is unparalleled and you’ll witness this for yourself if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on this limited edition capsule release. Move fast.
