KILLSPENCER Hand Crafter, Militaristic and Sustainable Design
Of the designers studying and designing at Art Center College of Design, Spencer Nikosey is one of designers whose products have made it to market. Nickosey graduated from ACCD in December. His products are made from recycled materials, largely military. He is also a history buff, so many of his designs have a retro feel, of army years gone by.
KILLSPENCER makes bags, manly bags. The products aren't cheap, but they are hand crafted, well-designed and very durable. They have water resistant zippers, coated materials and patented cobra buckles. The canvas is aged and specially coated, the tarp has been used in combat, the nylon is flame retardant and the tarpaulin is waterproof. Nothing but the best for the military, and for those looking for re-purposed military materials. Nikosey also used discarded fire hoses for his backpacks. Each item comes with a dog tagged number letting you know this is--or perhaps could be--a limited edition.
The above video gives a glimpse into the process and design of these bags. It is the most enjoyable process video I have seen in a while. The gallery below provides a more detailed look at the gear.
