DONE! East+West S campaign

 

Marketing campaign April, 2025

In April 2025, DONE! proudly introduced the East+West S, a compact new size of the iconic East+West backpack that retains all the character and versatility of the original, now in a smaller, more travel-friendly format.

The East+West S maintains the signature horizontal silhouette that defines the East+West line, designed for dynamic lifestyles that demand both style and functionality. Measuring 26 × 26 × 12 cm with a capacity of 8 liters, this model is perfectly sized to carry essentials like an iPad, making it ideal for those who prefer a lighter, more streamlined companion without sacrificing the quality and thoughtful features DONE! is known for.

Crafted from the same durable, recycled waterproof nylon as the East+West M, the East+West S offers multiple carrying options - from backpack to crossbody or handbag - adapting effortlessly to your daily rhythm. Its compact size makes it a versatile choice for city life, short trips, or social outings, combining comfort, practicality, and contemporary style.

With this launch, DONE! expands its product range to meet the needs of customers seeking a smaller, yet equally bold and functional backpack, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to innovation and design excellence.

COMFORT ZONES DON’T MAKE ICONS

The OOH campaign on-air for Milan Design Week dedicated to the Rust drop: From Ocean’s Heart to your back

Milan, April 7, 2025 – DONE!, the lifestyle brand of backpacks and accessories, announces the launch of a new hue for the iconic East+West size M, the multifunctional backpack that has become an indispensable accessory of the brand. The new rust color expands DONE!’s color palette, designed for those seeking a versatile accessory with a strong impact. It is set to be the new trend for the season.

The East+West DONE! backpack blends modern design and versatility, perfectly adapting to daily life, from work to leisure. The new rust color, inspired by the warm hues of sunset and earthy tones, adds a touch of elegance without compromising the practicality that defines the brand.

A distinctive design that combines comfort and functionality. A transformative accessory with large internal pockets, adjustable and removable shoulder straps, a crossbody strap, and handles for different uses, as well as a padded laptop compartment. The East+West is the ideal lifestyle accessory for those who live in the city, always with an eye on trends and personal style.

The launch campaign for the rust-colored East+West backpack, airing during Milan Design Week with a large-format display in Via Larga, Milan, was created by the creative agency 282US, which has been with DONE! since its inception. Their synergy has produced unconventional and unexpected campaigns, true to the DNA of DONE!

From Ocean’s Heart to your back, where a mysterious mermaid with a rust-colored tail, symbolizing allure and magnetic attraction, lies in a bathtub, holding her rust-colored East+West backpack and seducing the observers, capturing their attention. Once again, DONE! surprises with a campaign that makes a bold impact both visually and in its message.

On April 7, coinciding with the start of Milan Design Week, a live parkour performance will take place right under the URBANVISION installation in Via Larga – at the corner of the University of Milan, the central and pulsating heart of the Milanese design event. Three parkour athletes will perform, creating a unique and engaging activation for the public.

The rust-colored East+West M backpack is available online at DONE!’s official website and at exclusive authorized retailers.

@NSS Edicola March, 2025

Milan, March 14, 2025 – The event, hosted at the iconic Edicola by NSS in Piazza Bruno Buozzi in Milan, saw the unveiling of the MINI >EAST+WEST<, the XS version of the iconic DONE! backpack that retains all its character in a compact and versatile format.

A moment dedicated to design and streetwear innovation, where the NSS Edicola and DONE! communities had the opportunity to closely discover the new must-have accessory.

NSS Edicola, a symbol of cultural avant-garde and independent creativity, became the “Place to be” for this occasion, where the latest drop of the brand that is revolutionizing the concept of backpacks was revealed. MINI >EAST+WEST< is the perfect mix of contemporary design and functionality: mini in size but bold and audacious in style and image.

Made from ultra-durable, sustainable, and lightweight recycled nylon, the MINI >EAST+WEST< is designed for those who never stop. Available in black and orange, this accessory transforms according to style and attitude: from a mini bag to carry by hand, to a crossbody, and of course, a micro backpack, perfect for those living a dynamic city life, from events to nights out and moments of fun. Comfy and fashionable at the same time, the MINI >EAST+WEST< is the new statement piece that accompanies the new generations in their daily lives.

"Collaborating with NSS Edicola for the launch of the MINI >EAST+WEST< has been an incredible journey that has strengthened our bond with young culture. NSS Edicola is the ideal stage to showcase this new model, which reflects our vision: bold design, extreme versatility, and a contemporary soul. This event marked the meeting of two realities that breathe innovation and creativity, and we are thrilled with the response from the community," said Stefania Gnutti, Founder of DONE!.

The event, which served as the launch for the MINI >EAST+WEST<, was a celebration of innovation and design. For the new and already iconic XS, a dedicated campaign was created, with an ironic and unconventional storytelling style, in the unmistakable DONE! fashion, told through the nss Fanzine, distributed by the cool kids to those present. A biker with his MINI >EAST+WEST< XS crocheting, a character who breaks stereotypes, telling the story of creativity in an unconventional, crunchy way, highlighting the brand's versatility - this is DONE!’s out-of-the-box communication.

Content created during the event, including interviews with guests about the strangest things to put in the new XS and how to wear it; moments of genuine connection between the NSS Edicola and DONE! communities, accompanied by the DJ Set by Garon/Miro.

Among those present were: Katie Moonlight, Federica Ghirardi, Giorgia Castagna, Paolo Carlini, Agatha Massi, Beatrice Barichella, Mattia Cividino, and Federica Messaggeri.

Christmas campaign December, 2024

Bold, unconventional, and unapologetically real-this campaign is a celebration of individuality and the freedom to express yourself, wherever you go. Each shot captures the essence of DONE!: backpacks that are more than accessories, but true companions for a life lived to the fullest.

With a playful twist and a touch of irony, the visuals break the mold of traditional fashion storytelling. Our protagonists aren’t just models-they’re creators, dreamers, and everyday heroes who move through the city with confidence and authenticity. The DONE! backpack becomes a symbol of versatility, adapting to every moment: from spontaneous adventures to daily rituals, from sunrise hustle to sunset unwind.

Every image pulses with color and energy, reflecting the optimism and dynamism at the heart of the DONE! community. The campaign invites you to embrace your own rhythm, to carry only what matters, and to do it in style-because life is too short for boring bags.

At DONE! we believe in design that empowers, in sustainability that inspires, and in a community that puts people first. This campaign is our manifesto: live boldly, travel lightly, and always choose what makes you feel DONE!

@DONE! May, 2024

A simple yet revolutionary idea: creating a backpack that is much more than just an accessory. DONE! began its journey in the spring of 2024 with the vision of combining design, functionality, and style, drawing inspiration from people and their lives. Every detail of its products tells a story of curiosity, connections, and movement—because travel, whether physical or mental, is what makes us feel alive and fuels change.

Everything revolves around one concept: DONE! means doing, completing, closing the circle. It’s a philosophy reflected in every creation, designed to meet daily needs with lightness and inspiration. DONE! aims to make every day a little simpler, more functional, yet always stylish.

Beyond the product: the DONE! philosophy

For DONE!, a backpack is not just about practicality. It is a symbol of balance, equality, and openness to the world. Designed in waterproof recycled nylon, these products respect the environment while catering to those who move between East and West, between city and nature, between work and leisure.

DONE! is the perfect companion for those seeking elegance and sustainability, making the present moment more carefree, colorful, and vibrant.

The message remains clear and direct: the journey is not just about the destination, but a way of life. DONE! represents those who are always on the move, those who seek practicality without compromising on style, accompanying them on every experience and making every destination unique.
