Chrome Industries has announced a new collection of bags featuring a Swedish Camo pattern.
The collection consists of five bags from Chrome’s Heritage Series that have been given the Swedish treatment, utilizing a detailed camo pattern on the outer face of the bag with highly visible reflective hits for evening and early morning commuting and adventure. Subtle during the day, the reflective elements pop at night.
The entire collection is available now and part of Chrome’s seasonal winter release.
