It’s also got an external zipped pocket and an additional concealed pocket for discreet access to your valuables.

The Obsidian version of Israu is made from water-repellent coated polyester with a tactile rubberized finish. The MemoryTech Isarau is constructed from black MemoryTech, the back from black EcoYarn. The Isarau Alias is made from soft cowhide leather that ebbs and flows with your journey. It also has an understated black and gray woven cotton interior and zips with leather pullers.

Moselle’s cutting-edge circular structure is not just fun to wear while you are in transit but the silhouette is super practical. It can be both formal or casual depending on where you want to take it.

Baggu creates products that are intended to have long, useful lives and are designed to minimize waste all while using sustainable materials. Baggu aligns themselves perfectly with our core values at ZANE, making for a strong in-store experience that just keeps growing. Baggu offers a range of bags from fanny packs, travel weekend bags to sport backpacks that lets you move in comfort. 

 The Standard Baggu

The cult classic standard bag by Baggu was designed in 2007 as a solution to the disposable grocery bag. Designed based on the construction of a plastic shopping bag, but made of  lightweight ripstop nylon, and built to hold 2-3 times as much as the typical grocery bag. The result was a reusable bag that’s not only functional and affordable, but also attractive. These handy reusable bags fits right into your pocket when you don't need them and then pops right back, big enough after a grocery hall.    

 The Cloud Bag

It’s the perfect, lightweight multi-purpose bag to take where ever the wind leads you. This bag will secure your laptop, a change of clothes, and whatever else you choose to stuff in.  

Baggu's Sport Backpack is available for a more hand's free mode of transit. We have scouted for the best color options that'll match your spring aesthetic this season. With two exterior zip pockets, this bag keeps things easily accessible, and an interior sleeve keeps your laptop secure.

The mesh bag is perfect for trips to the beach, water, and sand slip right through so you don't have to run the washer too often.

A set of three reusable bags for your wine bottles, or any bottle that requires a bag of its own. It's a great pick for gift-giving, for your weekend trips, or just an evening picnic. Each bag folds into its own flat pouch, with a keychain loop so it'll never slip away.

BIKO has been a staple at the shop for years now. We’ve always admired the inspirations behind the brand (nature, contemporary art, architecture and travel) and truly fall deeper in love with its hand-crafted designs each season.  

We can see designer Corrine Anestopoulos’ adoration for travel across BIKO, but especially in this collection. Always on the hunt for new sources of inspiration, Corrine collected pebbles from the beaches of Greece on her wedding day. These imperfect water-smoothed pebbles became the basis for the collection, Corrine creating casts out of each unique stone. 

Derived from the Greek word “Galina” meaning ‘calm’ or ‘windless,’ the collection is rooted in comfort, tranquility, and oneness. The result: ultra romantic pieces infused with oneness to our earth. 

Hand-crafted in Toronto, the Galina collection features rings, necklaces, and earrings that are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and durable. The 14K dipped-gold and rhodium-dipped pieces blend stand-out uniqueness with everyday wearability to move with you through the motions of your life.

Anthony has got his priorities set straight.

He’s got his trusty ol’ Rains MSN Cargo Bag pack in Slate which is 100% waterproof, with two front cargo pockets and carabiner closures. So we know he is out and about to have an eventful day. 

He is ready to take on, slipping into his super convenient, ultra-soft Rains quilted laptop case finished with soft velvet-like lining, just in case there’s work emergency.

Larsson&Jennings Vivid Polished gold link watch is giving the right amount of subtle elegance that strikes as a contrast to the suave overtone.

Anthony is fully prepped up and in motion heading towards his destination!

Jumping gates?! was not in the itinerary, it is a good thing he’s got his Rains backpack secured on him. He literally has got nothing to worry about.

And finally we meet Imani, we are going to dissect her fit in the next episode. Be sure to check out the second collection in our new “In Motion” series.

Designed for Superior Functionality 

Fall is slowly rolling in although it doesn't seem like it right now, with the off and on showers (often ruining weekend plans).  

With the weather being super snappy it’s a good idea to invest in a trusty bag that potentially shields the one million things we carry around on a day-to-day basis. This is a casual segue into RAINS, today’s brand feature (hope you enjoyed the crafty blend-in).

Get their backstory | Rains

This Danish company is no overnight success, they started with a single SKU. The co-founder Philip Lotko, made it rain gold by having a focused and simple framework for wearable and long-lasting products offered at a fair price in the industry.

"By lighting the way, we are finding our way. Rains has set the direction towards a sustainable future for people and the planet, and we invite you to follow our responsible business behavior on our journey." 

Rains has now grown to a full outerwear and accessories collection.

ZANE is one of the only store with only about 200 retailers globally offering, an assortment of bags and accessories. So, we have knit-picked bucket hats, weekend bags, camp backpacks, box bags, wash bags, laptop cases, and lots more from the RAINS Autumn/Winter collection.

Can’t deny the fact that our fast-paced lives sometimes seem to literally brush past us.

Rains bags are super easy to strap on and hop off for the day. And, you’ve got a variety of shapes and sizes all encapsulating the Rains classic design - lightweight but sturdy with a bonus of being flexible ( yes, this is exactly what you need to look for in bags).

These look cool, but are they androgynous | Fit check

Of course! Whatever you identify as Rains designs and functionality will for sure identify with your style.  

With the focus on sleek design, strong fabrication, and fun updated color palette these bags can easily be styled with your outfit. This season Rains is offering colors that align with both neutral and street style. So the colors have this bold undertone but also maintain a low-profile suave. 

The autumn/winter collection color tones are perfect for styling monochromatic fits - something to get behind, don’t you think? 

Why am I choosing Rains | Reliability

That’s a valid question, before I go off about the durability, quality control, and what have you, you can check out Rains Quality feature.

But you should know, Rains products are made with transitional water-proof material. All of Rains product components comply with the standards of REACH - the European legislation regulating registrations, evaluations, authorizations, and restrictions of chemicals.
