We are the biggest Ucon Acrobatics fans under the Berlin sun – or perhaps the Californian sun? In the 20 years since its founding, the Berlin brand has spread all around the world. Whether on the Shinkansen in Tokyo, the subway in New York City or the Paris Metro – Ucon Acrobatics packs can be spotted on the backs of city dwellers all over. To celebrate two decades, the brand are releasing collab collection with 20 artists from 20 countries. This creative diversity will be on show in 20 cities, from New York and Rio to Tokyo, Tel Aviv and London. That’s not to forget the brand’s home turf in Berlin, where tomorrow (12.11.2021) you can check out a special exhibition conveniently located a stone’s throw from the Cee Cee office on Leipziger Straße. You can view all the latest designs from the “Motif” collection including my favorites: the humorous emoji design by our friends from Grilli Type, a mystical pattern by Polish illustrator Ada Zielińska and the iridescent forms from Japan’s Takahiro Yasuda. Cooler still is the fact that all the bags are made from recycled PET. And if those designs aren’t to your taste, there’s always our own contribution: the Cee Cee x Ucon Acrobatics Capsule Collection.
