Keith Haring (1958-1990) was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers, and performers whose work responded to the urban street culture of the 1980s. <\/p>\n

Inspired by the graffiti artists whose marks covered the city\u2019s subway cars, Haring began to draw in white chalk over the black paper used to cover vacant advertising panels. Not only was Haring able to reach a large and diverse audience with his subway drawings, but, eventually, the subway became, as Haring said, a ‘laboratory’ for working out his ideas.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Black<\/a>\t<\/div>
This bag is ‘wheely’ cool, and spacious too! (Picture: Metro\/Linkby\/Eastpak)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Eatpak has taken the likes of his famous heart and ‘Radiant Body’ artwork and plastered them across the likes of backpacks, totes, bum bags, accessories, and travel gear. Another great aspect about this collection is that it isn\u2019t just good for yourself, but it will make a great gift for kids to give their school<\/a> bags an artistic upgrade. <\/p>\n

One of our personal favourites has to be the black tote bag with a heart character<\/a> printed on one side. Not only does it make for a great overnight\/ weekend away bag, as it’s large enough to store all of your essentials like makeup and clothing, but it can also make for a brilliant day-to-day bag to store the likes of your laptop, umbrellas, lunch, and more. <\/p>\n

On the back side of the bag, it has a luggage strap so that you can pop it on the handle of your luggage when traipsing through the airport.<\/p>\n

Take on the timeless monochrome trend in an imaginative way with the collection’s graffiti backpack<\/a>. Not only does it have an inside slot, but it also has an outside pocket so that your essentials like door keys, phone<\/a>, and more are easily reachable, and also a nifty side pocket to store your waterbottles. <\/p>\n

Are we the only ones that remember this cult print? (Picture: Metro\/Linkby\/Eastpak)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Why not give your travel luggage a new lease of life with their wheeled duffel bag? Featuring a small print inspired by Haring\u2019s ‘Radiant Body’ artwork on the outside, this will become your go-to when travelling, not missing it on the baggage carousel. <\/p>\n

Outside zip pockets, a TSA lock, added buckle straps for extra security if you\u2019ve overpacked, and ample inside space for your wardrobe, this is one not to push aside, only to push into the departures lounge. <\/p>\n

The Keith Haring x Eastpak collection will be available on February 12 exclusively on Eastpak.com<\/a>, and through select retailers worldwide as of February 17, 2026.<\/p>\n
