Junhyung, Hyunseung, Doojoon, Dongwoon - MCM
MCM - Craig Redman for MCM Shanghai Collection Backpack approx. $900USD [Availability Unknown]
Lately, Junhyung has been sporting this backpack from MCM's latest collection. It's from a line of bags created to celebrate MCM's foray into the Chinese market. It depicts the work of artist Craig Redman and the colorful rope design on the bag signifies Shanghai's long shipping history. You can see more of the collection at MCM's website.
Last time I checked, this particular backpack wasn't on there though. In general, MCM seems to have more stores in Asia. It's actually owned by a female Korean CEO. This series will probably show up in select Asia-based MCM stores. I think the backpack is strictly limited edition.
Kind of random, but former Taiwanese idol, Vaness Wu, has a version of this backpack too albeit in a slightly different colorway. Found his blog over at hypebeast when I was looking up info on the backpacks. Looks like MCM gave him a OOAK customized version!
The photos are from Vaness's blog entry here.

MCM Limited Edition World Cup Backpack (Red) approx. $900USD [Availability Unknown]
I ID'd Hyunseung's red MCM backpack a while ago. Apparently, it was a limited edition item that was created to commemorate the World Cup. I think this was only available in Europe and Asia (countries were soccer is SRS BSNS). Hyunseung was also spotted with a matching MCM iPhone cover (approx. $130USD).
MCM Backpack (Cognac) approx. $900USD [Availability Unknown]
I was really surprised when I saw this fanpic of Hyunseung carrying around another MCM backpack! This time, he has the backpack in MCM's cognac color. The backpack itself is made of genuine leather embossed with the MCM monogram print and is adorned with gold-tone (studded) hardware.
MCM Backpack (Black) approx. $900USD [Availability Unknown]
Not to be outdone, our leader also has a MCM backpack too ^^. I've noticed that he's been wearing this particular backpack a lot lately.
MCM iPhone Case (Blue) approx. $130USD [Availability Unknown]
Hyunseung has this iPhone case in red too (to match his red MCM backpack?). Since both he and Dongwoon have these MCM cases, I wonder if the other boys received the pink and yellow versions too ^^?
☞ By the way, there seems to be some confusion over whether or not Hyunseung and Doojoon's backpacks are from the MCM x Tisa/Phenomenon x Liquor, Woman & Tears Collection from mid 2009. I don't think they are because the boys' backpacks have gold studs on the front and the coloring of the diamonds in the MCM monogram print are different. Anyway, all of these backpacks seem to be in-store exclusives. They aren't even on the MCM website (which is really annoying...). If you're looking to buy one, I think your best bet is to check out MCM stores located in Asia - Seoul, Shanghai, Tokyo, etc. Your odds of getting your hands on them there are better!
