Believe it or not, noted tough guy Tom Hardy has been carrying a man bag. The MobLand star slung the colorful number over his shoulder at a BGC Group Charity Day, where he was raising millions for good causes on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. On paper, it’s not the sort of fashion choice you might expect from him.
But the thing is, this bag is built for guys like Hardy. It comes from Cotopaxi, a niche outdoor-gear brand based in Salt Lake City, and is designed for trail-walking and hikes in the Utah desert. It has been made to withstand Mother Nature’s tougher terrains, which speaks to Hardy’s own aesthetic, given the durable, trail-ready Vans he also wore that day.
Made with an 840D TPU-coated nylon and 840D ripstop nylon shell, both created using deadstock materials, the Cotopaxi bag might not look that strong, but it is highly resistant to abrasion, tears, and rips. Meanwhile, a recycled ripstop polyester gives it added internal strength. In short, it’s a nifty piece of design that will work for any walk of life.
Built for a tough guy, it more than deserves a spot in one of Hardy’s next action movies. Harry de Souza’s new stash bag, perhaps? And not only is the bag eco-friendly and durable, it’s budget-friendly, too.
Hardy’s bag is just $70 and the brand’s signature hip packs start at $32.50. Just be warned that the color combos are all unique, so the one you get might not look exactly the same as his. Shop the bags now over at Cotopaxi.
