Leather for Men


TST Sneakers

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on August 25, 2010)

Remember this Japanese shoes brand I told you about in a previous article (entitled TST Trainers)? Just know that Yoox has release plenty of new colors and models. This one caught my attention because of its cap toe which is quite unusual for a pair of sneakers. While it still needs to be proved, the quality of the leather is looking good.

Boat Shoes

by Romano from Marseille in Selected (on June 22, 2010)

Coggles sale continues ! What about some boat shoes for the summer ? I’ve found some which are really affordable from the brand Sperry. Classic colour for this type of item, you can go for some more flashy if you know how to match it, I’d never dare to. Authentic leather, they are also water resistant so you can easily and fearlessly wear them to go to the beach by day. On evenings, my advice is to associate them with some chinos and a cardigan, take it or leave it :)

£60 (was £80) from Coggles

TravelTeq bags

by Yas the Super Fly in Selected (on March 1, 2010)

During this past months, I tried to introduce you some innovative and original bags: bags that would not only be trendy but also practical. So you don’t waste your money in buying a useless accessory just because it looks cool ;) Thus, to close this month out, I would like to show you a very handy yet stylish creation from “TravelTeq”.

Based in Amsterdam, “TravelTeq” is a young company created by a group of (globetrotters) friends that designs and conceptualizes unique accessories. As you can imagine, the products are particularly made and thought for travelers.

travelteq

TravelTeq’s first product is called the « Trash » as you can fit and jam this bag with all your belongings. Laptop, (sun)glasses, (smart)phone, documents, and even cigar can fit all together. In fact, the « Trash » features eight compartments of which three are zipped. It also has additional outside (and discreet) slots for your plane ticket and business cards. And for more practicability, you will appreciate the leather strip on the backside to hold the bag on your trolley case.

travelteq-bags

Last but not least: the “Trash” is waterproof, handmade with a high quality leather (Italian Florentine Vachetta). It measures 40(w) for 30(h), and 8(d) cm, weighting 1.2kg (about 2.64 lbs). You can find it in fox brown, but I personally like it in black panther ;)

Unlike other branded accessories of that kind, the “Trash” combines all the advantages you can expect from a travel bag. It is small, stylish, handy, intelligent and shock resistant. You can surely satisfy all your travel needs with it (well it would for me :)

The “Trash” is only available on TravelTeq’s website for €365 with worldwide free shipping. Check it out, it is worth it: http://www.travelteq.com
