Stark Backpack
Catalogued July 2026
The Stark is MCM's signature backpack, most recognizable in the brand's Visetos monogram-coated canvas with pyramid or side studs and nappa leather trim. It comes in mini through medium sizes and both studded and plain versions. It was one of the bags that carried MCM's logo-backpack moment in the mid-2010s. On the exact launch year our sourcing is thin, so we're leaving it unset rather than guessing.
