Discommon Goods
The icon returns. Your weekly demanding emails worked and The Weekender returns, now affectionately named The Accomplice. We knew the bag was very good, but we never thought it would develop the cult-like following it has. The Accomplice is a fitting name after the years of global adventures these bags have seen, it really is the perfect companion for all potential mischief. The Accomplice is now lighter and leaner - retaining one side laptop pocket, the other was removed, drastically reducing weight and leading to a much slimmer side profile.
The journey of The Accomplice Began almost 8 years ago with soft-goods expert, Kyle Pennell, a friend from founder Neil Ferrier’s time at Oakley. The two started penning their ultimate take on a no-gimmicks rework of the traditional staple. Along the way, the project died twice: once after a disastrous attempt at manufacturing in Taiwan (let’s not discuss that) and once when we were employed by Shinola to partner in soft-goods design.
We persevered, and here we are: The end result almost perfectly matches the original drawings, and we couldn’t be happier. Ferrier is constantly on the move for client meetings or vehicular adventures, and the bag was imagined with some simple but critical adaptations to the norm, allowing “at-hand” access to a number of storage areas.
The bespoke Discommon D-Ring hardware in the handle denotes the front end of the bag. There you will find the #dumpslot. It’s a simple pocket with single-hand access and securing, but it pops open to allow you to dump all the contents of your pockets in the airport security line. It’s not rocket science, but it’s hugely convenient. The convenience continues in the large top-surface main opening and the two zippered pockets for valuables—one lined in felt for the serious items, like a watch.
