Au Départ and Fragment Design Unveil Their New N. 55 x FRGMT Collaboration

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours navigating virtual racetracks and collecting digital loot from long-forgotten chests, I can’t help but be drawn to the real-world allure of the Au Départ Tote No. 55 x Fragment collaboration. The fusion of tradition and modernity in this bag is akin to my love for classic gaming titles that push the boundaries of what’s possible on contemporary hardware.

Founded in 1834, Au Départ stands as the oldest French luxury house, recognized for its exquisite bespoke trunks and leather goods. This brand consistently pushes boundaries when designing new items, and their latest collaboration with Fragment Design, Tote N. 55 x FRGMT, embodies this spirit more than anything else they’ve created.

Through a unique partnership, spearheaded by Hiroshi Fujiwara, these two brands unite, demonstrating mutual admiration for “elegant functionality and fashion.” The upcoming bag embodies a harmonious blend of timeless tradition and modern sophistication.

The design draws inspiration from motor racing culture, particularly the “golden era” of sports car races. This influence is visible through a white circle on the vehicle, designed to enhance visibility. Furthermore, both collaborating parties have incorporated essential elements of their unique identities into the design. Au Départ’s signature pattern, L’Hexagone, can be found alongside typical branding from FRGMT.

Examine more closely the recently introduced Au Départ Tote No. 55 x Fragment displayed here. It will be ready for purchase during its official launch in Tokyo on December 14. You can also buy it from stores in Paris, London, Seoul, and on the audepart.com website starting from January.
