If the leather jacket is the ultimate fashion style statement, then the RŌMFRĒ EDC Backpack is the leather jacket of backpacks. With a full-grain leather exterior (and quilted details), the EDC Backpack has a unique distinction – It’s quintessentially classy enough to go with any outfit, be carried anywhere, and pretty much hold anything you consider an everyday essential.

Most people don’t know this but backpacks are a part of the ‘EDC’ category too. The abbreviation stands for the term ‘EveryDay Carry’, and while most people think that the category just covers tools, wallets, and other pocketable items, the backpack is a classic example of something you carry every day. Where the EDC Backpack differs from other backpacks, however, is in its material and visual appeal, which makes it perfect for work and leisure, indoor and outdoor, and professional and casual use simultaneously.
3 Colour options – Left: Cocoa color. Middle: Black color. Right: Saddle color.
The backpack’s 100% leather build is perhaps its most visually eye-catching feature. Everything from the bag itself to the straps, handles, and pockets are made from top-notch full-grain leather, available in one of three colors – Cocoa, Black, or Saddle. Aside from the three colors, you’ve also got two sizes to choose from – a Medium with a 17L carrying capacity, and a Large which gives you 22L of storage. Both sizes, however, offer the same classic aesthetic, along with all the features, details, and pockets you’d need to carry your life with you.
Extra secure passport / wallet pocket on the rear of the bag.
Lower front pocket – includes zippered mesh pocket on the front wall
Upper front pocket – big enough for a wallet, passport, keys and other smaller items
Large main compartment
The exterior of the bags features quilted panels on both the front and back that give the EDC Backpack its memorable aesthetic. On the front, the backpack has two outer zippers for stashing belongings (with an extra hidden zipper pocket inside the lower compartment), along with side pockets for bottles, D-rings for hanging carabiners and your other gadgets/accessories, and an extra-secure pocket at the back, right between the adjustable leather shoulder straps.
This pack has a super durable polyester liner, and a double reinforced base.
Features YKK Zippers + Full-Grain Leather
Large interior pocket on the back wall with quilted stitching
Two zips offer access to a rather roomy interior, lined with a super-durable polyester fabric. A dedicated zip gives you padded storage for your laptop up to 16″ in size, while zips on the front let you access the spacious main compartment of the bag that’s outfitted with pockets, mesh-lined pouches, and enough space to store clothes, gadgets, accessories, and anything else you’d need to carry around with you.
Comes with a luggage strap to the back of the bag
Dedicated laptop compartment on the rear of the bag
The EDC Backpack’s appeal is in the fact that it’s designed to complement pretty much every part of your daily routine. Unlike fabric bags that look too disheveled for work, or professional-looking work backpacks that don’t translate well to our outdoor travel aesthetic (after all, that monogrammed company logo won’t look good in your holiday pictures), the EDC Backpack fits in and simultaneously stands out pretty much anywhere. The wonderful leather fabric is perfect for work, looks exceptionally great for travel, and sets you apart as a pretty classy dude if you’re using it as a creative for carrying your camera and whatnot. It’s travel-ready, thanks to adjustable shoulder straps, and a sleeve to slide your luggage handle through. It’s also built to last, relying on high-quality materials, durable YKK zippers, and a double-reinforced base that lets you rest your backpack down on any surface without worrying about your bag getting damaged… and the best part? That gorgeous full-grain leather ages as you do, gathering a wonderful patina that gives your EDC Backpack a distinct character that’s unique to just your backpack.
Left: Large size in Cocoa. Right: Medium size in Saddle.
The RŌMFRĒ EDC Backpack starts at a highly discounted $199 (you won’t find a 100% full-grain leather backpack anywhere for that amount) that’s standard across both Medium and Large sizes. The backpacks are supported by a lifetime warranty on craftsmanship and manufacturing defects (the makers will repair/replace your bag for free), and if you’re in for the full-leather lifestyle, $300 gets you the complete RŌMFRĒ travel bundle, which also includes a minimalist leather bifold wallet, and a dopp bag for your essentials.Click here to Buy Now: $199 $249 ($50 off).

The vast majority of computer products are designed to favor the biggest groups of users, sometimes to the exclusion of the minority. We’re not speaking about accessibility for persons with physical disabilities, but that is especially true for them as well. Even just the common keyboard and mouse are designed with the presumption that they will be used by right-handed people. And while ambidextrous mice do exist, those tend to sacrifice comfort for the sake of a symmetrical design. That doesn’t have to be the case, as this concept design tries to prove, promising both comfort as well as proficiency, regardless of which hand you hold it with.
Designer: Sameeraj Dronamraju
There has been an increasing awareness and demand for ergonomic mice, sadly due to the equally rising cases of computer-related injuries. But while there are plenty of ergonomic designs now available, most of them only cater to right-handed users. You’d be lucky if the manufacturer produced a left-handed design, but most don’t because of the costs involved in another product with only a few minor differences.
The proper solution would be to mix ergonomics and symmetry to create a mouse that is comfortable to hold for both kinds of people. Vertrous, a portmanteau of “vertical” and “ambidextrous,” takes its cue primarily from the plethora of ergonomic mice now in existence, most of which adopt a vertical design that attempts to reduce the strain placed on the wrist by offering a more natural grip. But rather than have your hand holding it sideways, you almost grip it like a claw, with your index and middle fingers still resting on top.
At the same time, the mouse’s shape is more or less equally balanced on both sides. Great care is taken to ensure that textured areas are found on both sides, so no one hand has the advantage over the other. That said, there are some features that can really be found in only one place, like the power button, but that’s really a minor detail that has no significant impact on the use of the mouse itself.
While Vertrous does present an interesting solution, there are still some considerations left unanswered by the design. For example, gripping the mouse like a claw could actually end up being more uncomfortable and strenuous than a regular mouse. The symmetrical design also leaves out features like extra buttons that would normally be found only on one side, an absence that many power users will feel acutely. These aren’t flaws per se but more like points for further improvement, paving the road for the day that we finally land on a standard ergonomic mouse design that will really leave no one out, whichever hand they prefer to use.

Experts suggest, going out with your fussy infant for a drive can lull them to sleep and smoothen their peace. But sitting in the car, facing the other way around in their chair, a child may not always be the happiest and you may not have all the control you desire. To your rescue, Japanese auto giant Nissan has designed cute robots that will make in-car parenting a breeze and a favorite activity for your tiny winy.
This is being made possible by Nissan through Iruyo: The Intelligent Puppet. The automaker has collaborated with compatriot Akachan Honpo, a baby goods retailer, to make the Iruyo, furry babysitter. It comes built-in with a range of sensors and communication devices to ensure parents get an affordable toy robot they can safely have around their baby.
Designer: Nissan x Akachan Honpo
To cut the chase, Iruyo: The Intelligent Puppet is a moniker used for a set of two similar-looking state-of-the-art robotic companions that vary visually in their size and come in thoughtfully fashioned red and subtler pink and white colors. The little one, aptly called the Baby Iruyo, is designed to sit near the driver – essentially in the cup holder – while the elder Iruyo rests in the backseat, facing the child sitting in their chair.
Baby Iruyo is programmed to understand voice commands; guess, only in Japanese for now. So, when the child gets cranky in the backseat, the parent can speak some consoling commands such as “I’m here” or “play peek-a-boo” and the little Iruyo relays that to the Iruyo, facing the child, which then makes suitable gestures to keep the kid entertained.
Well, Iruyo is either avatar is only a concept for now, but already the highly researched companion robot has been found to be a preoccupying activity in 90 percent of babies. Half of this percentage of babies have even experienced mood enhancements with the robot by their side. This data is instigating the makers to continue with trials and general experience sessions. One such event is slated at the Akachan Honpo store in LaLaport Yokohama on February 10 and 11.

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and if you still don’t have any idea how to spend it with your loved one, don’t worry. There are tons of brands that will be offering you some alternatives aside from the usual dinner, chocolates, and flowers. More and more couples have actually been spending quality time at home (if they choose to celebrate at all) instead of going out so we’re also seeing brands create things for these home buddies. If you live in Singapore and you love Lego, then you’ll be excited about this.
Designer: Lego
If you were expecting that they will create a romantic themed Lego build, then you’re only half right. Brick Date is indeed sweet and will bring you two closer together, but you don’t have to worry about creating an elaborate build. The “date night in a box” contains some things you can use while you’re sipping wine at home on a couch potato kind of date (not necessarily on the 14th of course). In case your partner enjoys receiving physical cards, the box has a romantic greeting card inside along with 23 conversation cards that you can use to bond, whether you’re just new in the relationship or you’ve been together for a long time.
There’s also a heart-shaped lock made from Lego pieces of course that you can use as a symbol of your “unbreakable bond”. You can keep it at home or leave in a place where people put up love locks. Yours will probably stand out since most of the locks there will be normal looking padlocks. The box also has two coasters with heart-shaped Lego bricks so you can place your aforementioned wine glasses or coffee or tea mugs in case that’s your drink of choice.
The Brick Date box itself can also be transformed into a playmat in case you need something to place the cards on. There’s also a sticker sheet inside in case you need something to put in your journal or wall to commemorate your date night. Unfortunately, this is only available as an exclusive gift for those who will purchase SG$199 worth of selected Lego products in Singapore until February 18. When you click on their website though it says the Date Night In A Box is already sold out so we don’t know if they’ll be restocking in time for next week.
