Came across a new messenger in Ginza which certainly has some appeal to me.
I liked the construction on how the overlapping sections of leather provide strength and support at the base while lending octogonal look to the bag.
The way it’s designed vertically means that you could have it snug against your body and yet have your hand at the base of the bag when slung.
From what I saw, it’s described as a Sac Flash which means Hermès sees it as a cousin to the backpack. I’ve not seen any references online so I wonder what colors and materials they would do for this one... they had two options at the shop - blue nuit in togo and black in evergrain.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting!
My SA mentioned back in September that a new style bag has been ordered for me for the next semester, as I've been hunting for a Steve Caporal and they've not been able to order any at podium for a little while - I wonder if it's a 'caporal' scale version of this?
That bag has been ordered in chocolate, so if it's from the same range, that could be an additional combination for this Sac Flash. In the same range there will also be the 'open' backpack that has been seen in the new season press pics.
That's the one! I've got a couple more shots including a more side on, but having issues uploading images at the moment - keep saying they're too big when they really aren't! Will persist.
I like the backpack although I’d question the practicality of the open design in wetter climates such as London.
FM: do you know whether’s it’s been ordered by NBS? Would really like to see it IRL.
As for the sac Flash, somehow its shape reminds me of the “sacoches” men used to carry in the 70s/80s (otherwise know in France as “ b...e en ville”- too rude to write in full). Not convinced...

Finally succeeded with the additional snaps!
In my opinion, the enclosed backpack is a better design, the rear exposed strap panel of this drawstring version isn't my cup of tea. Truth be told, I'm not particularly sold on the whole Flash range with the 'overpatch' corners, but think these look better on the backpacks than the bag.
No clues on what NBS may have ordered, sorry, but I'm due in later this week so will see if I can garner any info.

An open top backpack? It's a nice design, but I wouldn't just worry about the weather. It seems like an invitation for pickpockets if that's a problem in your area. Leave it at home if you're going to Brussels!
hi everyone, how do you guys style your scarves/twillys/whatever ? i'm thinking of getting one but I have NO IDEA how I would wear it. I recently saw a pic of a guy that had one loosely tied around his neck and thought it looked super chic and made me want to get one. So yeah, hmu with your ideas please.
There is a preferred way* to fold a square scarf on the diagonal several times to form a long strip, but I just put two opposite corners together to form a triangle; with the hypotenuse under your chin, bring the ends around the back of your neck to the front and let them hang down or tuck them into the fold of the scarf. This creates quite a full muffler effect. It is more casual than pre-folding a square 'properly'.
*The way the SAs do it.
