1978, KING-SEELEY THERMOS Co.
Fact: This school backpack released at the height of KISS's merchandising mania was a fantastic red looking backpack with a blue sling strap. Very cool and very collectible.
Collectibility rating:
Fact: This Australian-only backpack came with a big KISS logo and clip attached rather than buttoned. Graphically not as cool as the backpack above but even rarer and harder to find.
Collectibility rating:
Fact: Even rarer than above this may have only been on sale in New Zealand. The black area was leather like the others but the yellow part was nylon.

Fact: Another Aussie-only release. These leather bags featured a similar design to the Aussie backpack and like all Aussie merchandise it soon became hard-to-find in good condition. 3 sizes were released

2004, WINTERLAND/SIGNATURES NETWORK
Fact: This silver handbag featuring the KISS LP artwork, actually looked quite cool. Maybe a great gift idea for the lady-KISS fan who has everything.
Collectibility rating:
Fact: While the original backpacks were aimed at the kiddies, this pack was bigger and more for the bigger journeys. When your KISS habit sends you broke, this may be required to live out of.
