If you want to get ahead in the film industry, you’ve got to dress for the job you want, not the one you have. So to help you look the part, Tribeca Film Festival has teamed up with BUILT, a New York design company, to create a special limited-edition collection of stylish bags that are perfect for life on the go in the Big Apple. 

 BUILT has been making fashionable and functional bags, totes, and cases for the stuff you love since 2003. This SoHo-based company first made a name for itself with its popular wine tote made from neoprene—aka the wetsuit material. Lunch totes followed, then cool sleeves and bags for laptops. Today the BUILT line protects all the essentials that no one travels without, such as iPads, e-readers, and smartphones. They offer clever ways to keep your stuff organized and protected when you’re on the go. Each accessory is designed and tested right here in New York City, so if they can make it here, they can make it anywhere.

Here’s a sneak peek at the limited-edition bags that Tribeca insiders will be carrying all Festival long. You can pick up your own versions at builtny.com starting April 10. And to get 25% off all BUILT products, click here!
