HEX, a division of seasoned fashion house August Accessories and the pioneer brand in the watch band for iPod nano category, today announced pre-order availability of a new type of bags with equal parts fashion and tech functionality included in the DNA of each style. The brand is launching its first bag accessory line with two collections, Recon and Varsity, which pack innovative new features designed specifically for the safe and trendy carrying of iPad, MacBook, MacBook Pro and othelaptops
and tablets.
Recon bags feature an industrial grade washed canvas shell fabric that looks weathered and time-tested, delivering the most perfect blend of durability and style. Like a perfectly-worn pair of jeans, the Recon bags, accessible in khaki or charcoal canvas, can become the indispensible carryall for tech-savvy men and women on the go. The counterpart HEX handbags collection, Varsity, is as sharp and clean as Recon is casual and comfortable. Designed with a blended wool shell material, Varsity bags are soft to the touch and are as appropriate for the board room as for a university campus. The heather grey wool material projects subtle elegance while maintaining a leading edge fashion vibe that is in-step with today's current street and tech fashions.

Fashion names such as Roberto Cavalli and Versace have said they try to boost production of handbags and shoes next year.
