The weekend is upon us and if you’re prepping for a dirty weekend or vacation, I have this classic weekender from leather artisans- Delvaux. Designed by Bruno Pieters, this Delvaux weekender is part of the 1829 collection. Made in thick fabric so it’s lighter and you’re not trying to lug the bag’s weight around during […]

Don’t ever say that I only flog expensive, bank breaking gear; Here’s some Luxe for Less even though I normally eschew quartz watches (not because I’m a snob but because I’ve fallen in love with the sweeping seconds of an automatic). That said, this is one quartz perpetual calendar you should pay attention to. TX, […]

I really need to stop shopping. I digress; No doubt, some man’s magazines make it an annual affair to have a write up on how real men should sort their wallets and keep it lean (at least in terms of junking out old receipts and expired condoms), I believe that Portel’s iPhone leather wallets are […]

Introducing Sergio Rossi Laced Suede Shoes, after all, it’s about you putting your best foot forward. The rubber sole and round toeline makes it a great pair to match a blazer […]

Tomorrowland Co. Ltd is a brand close to my heart. Slightly older than I am, I’ve been tracking their collections since I first heard of them in Spring 2009. Starting with women’s wear in 1978, Tomorrowland has proven their designer chops with their trendspotting precision showcased in each subsequent men’s collection. Admittedly, Tomorrowland’s sartorial leanings […]

You know why I love IKEA? It’s because I can get everything in a set to match- cookware, dishes and even entire kitchen setups; Well quite obviously, they don’t make home appliances and thankfully there are great brands like German kitchen appliance maker Krups. Saving discerning monsieurs from a life of mismatched kitchen appliances and giving […]

I’ve always had a love for bags that could both perform in and out of the office; It’s been a force of habit and the result of living in a world where so many beautiful things exist and the resultant consumerist tendency to want them all. That said, I’ve advised against wanton consumerism before and […]
