Kipling is entering the designer collaboration game just in time for back to school, and the result is way cooler than my old backpack.

The accessories brand is teaming up with Peter Pilotto on a collection due in stores and online the week of Sept. 10.

One of London’s hottest new labels, Peter Pilotto is making a mark with sexy clothes that are classically draped but digitally printed. (It’s actually the work of a design duo, Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, who met at the Royal Academy of Art in Antwerp.)

The Kipling collection, $26 to $98 at www.kipling-usa.com, features 11 styles in two prints—galaxy and machinery. The look is inspired by an ‘intergalactic traveler,’ according to the media materials. I say beam me up.
