"This past September, Engineered Garments and Chrome Industries came together once again for a purpose-driven collaboration that fused function with distinct design sensibility. Following the success of their inaugural partnership, the two brands returned for Fall/Winter 2025 with a collection that celebrated utility, style, and subversive detail, anchored by Chrome's iconic CITIZEN Messenger bag. The release landed on September 20th, exclusively at Nepenthes Los Angeles, and quickly drew attention from design enthusiasts and functional gear devotees alike."
"At the heart of this collaboration was the decision to revisit the CITIZEN Messenger, one of Chrome Industries' most recognized silhouettes. Engineered Garments founder Daiki Suzuki emphasized the importance of reintroducing the bag in a way that highlighted its aesthetic as much as its practicality. The bag's form remained true to its original purpose, but Engineered Garments' design codes gave it a fresh point of view for Fall/Winter 2025."
Engineered Garments and Chrome Industries reunited for a Fall/Winter 2025 collection that reintroduced the CITIZEN Messenger, merging functional performance with distinct aesthetic interventions. The release landed on September 20 exclusively at Nepenthes Los Angeles and garnered attention from design and functional-gear communities. The project preserved the bag's original purpose while applying Engineered Garments' approach to workwear, military, and outdoor silhouettes, introducing pattern, texture, and subversive detailing. The design-focused strategy refreshed the silhouette for a contemporary audience, aiming to balance utility, streetwear sensibility, and thoughtful craftsmanship.
