Sometimes it’s nice to have that piece of gear that slips quietly into your everyday life and says, ‘I belong to a bona fide nomad.’ That is the code that Delhi-based Cord’s functional, handcrafted leatherand-canvas bags speak. The star-painted Constellation may be the most flamboyant of their portfolio, a backpack that identifies you as a traveller—not a tourist, nor a jetsetter. They retail at a select few boutiques, online and brick-and-mortar. But we hear they will customise any bag with your name embossed on it; contact them directly. Rs 4,800, www.facebook.com/cord.27
