Jorge Quinteros RecommendsWhat originally began as a place for me to just compile products that I own, would love to purchase or wouldn’t mind receiving has become the go-to place for family and friends when the dreaded question of what I would like for my birthday or Christmas comes around.
There’s nothing more awkward than being put in the spot in saying what you would want from someone. Instead, I direct them to my recommendations page which not only guarantees that I’ll receive something I would love but it takes away the stress from them guessing and focus more on choosing.
Feel free to browse and perhaps purchase something that interest you from the great folks at Amazon. Category of products include books, photography gear, Apple accessories, Kindle add-ons and a few gadgets.

Killer Special Ops Backpack
I love to read stories about people who are completely obsessed with creating things. People that create not just for monetary reasons but for those who’s focus is more on wanting to get their products efficiently into the hands of people that are willing to buy them.
Spencer Nikosey is the creator and mastermind behind this military-inspired backpacks, messenger bags, and some smaller accessory product line for men called KILLSPENCER. All of his work is completely remarkable especially knowing that the tools behind the development process are his very own two hands and with each piece still being able to withstand any harsh conditions -
Another thing that a lot of people don’t know is that I design and hand sew every sample in my studio and manufacture everything here in Los Angeles, 9 miles away from my studio. It’s really great to be able to oversee manufacturing. This is a great freedom. →
The many features of the Special Ops Backpack by KILLSPENCER. Priced at $325.
I’m particularly attracted to the Special Ops Backpack. It’s simple, it’s sleek and it has all the necessary compartments I would ever care in having on a backpack. Aside from its rugged material, it has a built-in sleeve for a mobile device, for a Moleskine or other groovy notebook and of course a laptop. In my case, it would be a MacBook Pro. You have up to 4 material colors to choose from when ordering.
The style and shape of the backpack is very reminiscent of the approach Incase has with their bags and it’s no surprise since Bobby Chang, the creator of Incase is a friend and mentor to Spencer.
The company has also composed this short yet brilliant video illustrating the various phases in developing a bag all from concept to completion.
