Peak Design Bags: His and Hers

Form and function

Published

Due to the nature of our work, finding a bag that fits everything we usually need and staying stylish seem like an impossible task. On top of all that, durability is of utmost importance.

There are very few brands out there though that are able to strike that balance. One of them is Peak Design, a brand known for professional-grade camera accessories, including bags that can neatly fit a camera or two.

Josh has long been looking for a backpack that’s structured but also sleek enough for him to take anywhere: big events, client meetings, and airports. The Everyday Backpack is a good match, especially since it comes in all black. He also loves that wearing it makes him easily identifiable as a techie. One thing he would have loved though is a little bit more expandability, so he can pack an extra set of clothes during long-haul flights, or a monitor for solo coverage.

As for Chay, she regularly switches between totes from her own bag brand and sturdy, sometimes ugly backpacks depending on the occasion or the destination. A bag like the Everyday Tote can be both and more. While she loves how durable this tote is, a more elegant material and shape would have been a better choice for her style.


Josh: Red alert

I recently got these statement sneakers that Chay did not approve of because I rarely have items in my wardrobe in bold colors. But that’s precisely why I got them — not only do they come in one of my favorite colors, they also go well with anything and everything I wear. They’re the easiest way to change up how I look on the daily.


Chay: Dress it down

This is probably what I look like on a regular work day: with my hair in a messy bun and a pair of slip-on sandals I can easily wear when we have to quickly shoot some clips outside. On longer days I carry a backpack to house my laptop, camera, tripod, and video head that thankfully the Everyday Tote can handle.


Josh: Fly high

I probably spend more time in airports and planes now than I do in my own apartment. There are a few instances where I go from airport straight to a series of meetings that require me to look a bit more put-together than usual. The all-black Everyday Backpack is sleek enough to impress at a meeting and has sufficient compartments to fit some essentials: laptop, camera, cables, extra lens, and the phones I’m reviewing.


Chay: Packed light

I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing jeans regardless of how versatile they are; they’re uncomfortable and they rarely fit my body type well. But it’s forgivable during short flights, especially when I have to pack light. I’d rather be in jeans on the plane than fold them small and tight to fit my bag.


Josh: Monochromatic

In videos and in real life, I wear the same basic tees that come in different shades of three colors: blue, black, and gray. Thinking of what to wear on a daily basis isn’t something I have a lot of time for.


Chay: Wrap it up

Dresses are always my go-to whenever I feel lazy putting together an outfit. The problem is a lot of my existing dresses border on business casual and are too warm for the tropical weather. I got a few of these wrap dresses recently that have a very summer-y vibe that a pair of white sneakers and heavy duty-looking tote won’t ruin.

G-DRAGON is CASETiFY’s first ever Global Brand Ambassador

Right on time with the brand’s 15th-year milestone

One of K-Pop’s most iconic soloists of all time has finally partnered up with the globally-renowned case maker.

And this isn’t like any other CASETiFY’s K-Pop Collab, this is much grander than that.

i-naugural Brand iCON

You heard that right! CASETiFY reveals their first ever Global Brand Ambassador.

Amassing 25 million Instagram followers, over 1.2 Billion YouTube views, and hitting almost 4 Million Spotify listeners, G-DRAGON has truly marked his footprint as the “King of K-Pop” — more than just being the iconic member of the global hit group BIGBANG.

His long overdue comeback (and world tour) with Übermensch’ last 2025 further proves how massive the VIP (and FAM) community is.

That said, GD’s influence isn’t limited to the music industry alone. Art and fashion have also witnessed his legendary artistry through his PEACEMINUSONE label. That pretty daisy with a fallen petal is the brand’s most iconic emblem you can see around.

The introduction of his fashion line was connected to music as well. It was introduced way back in 2013 during his ‘COUP D’ETAT’ solo promotions which was a true hit. It was totally evident in the album art’s peace symbol minus that one line.

Wesley Ng, CASETiFY’s CEO and Co-Founder (who’s also fashion-savvy), said that “welcoming G-DRAGON as the brand’s first Global iCON is a powerful statement.” This will not only amplify the reach of the already-popular case maker, it will also influence the brand’s creative direction.

After all, one’s artistic expression can be seen easily with the cases we rock out and about.

i-conic CHROMATIC

In line with this milestone also lies a new collection of cases and accessories.

The all-new CHROMATIC Collection is built around two concepts: FORMS & HUES. First, the CHROMATIC: FORMS set is headlined by the premium-made Alloy Ripple Case with an upgraded aluminum material.

Speaking of aluminum, the accompanying accessories are all metallic — from the 2-in-1 cross-body chain to custom cube charms for bespoke personalization.

Meanwhile, the CHROMATIC: HUES adds five new vibrant shades to CASETiFY’s ever-popular Ripple Collection through the Neon Ripple Case. These bold range of colors not only embody users’ creativity and self-expression, it also showcases an individual’s overall aesthetics.

While this isn’t the PEACEMINUSONE collab some of us have initially thought, crossing fingers that will be the next official CASETiFY collab in line.

Pricing and Availability

The brand new CHROMATIC COLLECTION is expected to hit shelves real soon with prices ranging between US$ 10 to US$ 85,

They will be available for purchase on CASETiFY.com and in select CASETiFY Studio retail stores around the world starting on January 26 (Monday).

This popped right in time as BLACKPINK will hold the Hong Kong stop of their ‘DEADLINE’  tour for three straight days — from January 24 (Saturday) until January 26, 2026 (Monday).

Moreover, these might just be the perfect complement to the quatro’s upcoming ‘DEADLINE’ EP by February 27, 2026.

Might as well, an advanced 10th year anniversary gift this August 2026.

Hatsune Miku is finding her way everywhere. Last year, the pop icon built partnerships where you might have least expected one. Now, a recent collaboration has made it to new shores. Sony is shipping its recent partnership with Hatsune Miku in the United States.

In the middle of last year, Sony released a limited edition of the LinkBuds Fit featuring Hatsune Miku. Inside, the special variant is indistinguishable from the original series. However, it will have special colorway options, including the icon’s signature green.

Now, the limited edition is now available in the United States. It will be available for US$ 249.99.

Like the first launch, buying the special edition of the earbuds will give fans a limited-edition acrylic earbud stand featuring newly illustrated artwork by Ogipote. It also features two original HoloModels of the character.

Further, those who purchased the device will get access to a special campaign song called “BELIEVE DAY” and an animated performance of the same song. Fans need only to register their product and install the HoloModels app.
