It can be carried as either a tote or a backpack, depending on the situation, and it folds into its own internal pocket, for easy storage. Patagonia’s Ultralight Black Hole Tote Pack is a really good bag. I’d given in and bought one at some point in there, and by early this year, I was getting to the point where I regularly stuck my hands into other people’s backpacks thinking they were my own. When I went to Art Basel in 2021, I saw it multiple times, and in 2022, I spotted it in the possession of two separate artists at Ceramics Club at Greenwich House Pottery (none of them were associated with any of the above). I wanted it right away but was ashamed to crib, especially because Gross told me a half-dozen friends had already bought it after seeing his, so I recommended the backpack to my brother. He told me he’d copied it from the artist (and founding member of trend-forecasting group K-HOLE) Dena Yago a decade ago when they both lived in Berlin. ![]() I first saw the backpack in 2018 on my colleague at a policy think tank, the editor Bobby Gross.
