e-MOOK - *A BATHING APE 2019 Autumn/Winter Collection

Whenever I'm at the mall, I always check out my favorite bookstore, not for the books (well sometimes for the manga), but for the bags that come in the e-MOOK magazines. An e-MOOK is basically an enhanced version of a mook (between a book and magazine) with a premium gift attached in a box. I tend to buy most of my side bags from e-MOOKs because of the reasonable pricing between ¥900-2400.

This time I found the e-MOOK for A BATHING APE 2019 Autumn and Winter Collection with a special APE HEAd backpack! I've been trying to find a simple backpack to take to school so this works out. The last e-MOOK I purchased from BAPE was their from their 2018 Autumn and Winter Collection, which was a super adorable tote (that I forgot to blog about). This bag is very simple and plain compared to the pattern on last years e-MOOK. 

In this magazine, they had artists Big Sean and Wiz Khalifa featured and as well as a collaboration with Sesame Street (which was actually released today). 

After buying countless of bags from these e-MOOK magazines, I still can't believe how they can fit them in such a tiny box. Well, of course the quality you are paying for is not the highest, but it is still pretty durable. This backpack's material is very thin but sturdy.

The wording on the top of the bag spells "APE SHALL NEVER KILL APE", which is also a mix by U.N.K.L.E feat. Nigo and also samples from the Planet of the Apes. 

The part about this bag that I like was that the front pocket is 7.9 inches, large enough where I can fit my iPad mini comfortably in it. This e-MOOK was priced at ¥2380+tax, which I think is reasonable for this backpack!
