DUFFEL/HOLD-ALL

BACKPACK
The most fashion-forward of all the bags, the backpack has an air of rebellion to it, and in leather, adds a luxurious flourish to any casual outfit. It’s padded shoulder straps ensure comfort for those travelling on foot and stylish bikers.

BRIEFCASE
The briefcase now comes sleeker, slimmer and less boxier than what it once was. If you work in a suited and booted environment, we suggest a sophisticated black leather style. Otherwise, where casual attire is required, lighter colours and canvas styles work best.

EVERYDAY SATCHEL
Suitable for a daily commute or carry-on when travelling for work. Opt for softly structured styles like this one to avoid bulkiness. A detectable shoulder strap allows it to double up as large brief case and carried by the handles.

TOTE
The most understated of the bunch, the Tote acts as a giant stylish pocket. Perfect for laptops, cameras, spare clothes, magazines, and all other daily needs.
