Pineider Nappa Leather Briefcase

S
Satchel has becoming a fad lately in the fairer sex when Mulberry Alexa suddenly appears early this year. It's the whole look which is a cross between casual/formal which make it looks so edgily cool. And the choice for you to carry it - either hand-carry with the handle on the top, or sling it on the shoulder with the detachable strap - made it more versatile.

But for us, men, satchel has been there for as long as I can remember. If you happen to board the Tube or walk down the street in the City of London, chances that you can see loads of people carry 'em. Unless the name synonymous with 'Louis Vuitton', most briefcases that I saw is so, erm... uncool.

Enter this one by Pineider. It has a non-classical shapes with small dimension and very light to carry. They're made of full grain nappa with Italian bridles leather. One thing interesting with these bags is the similar way how Bill Amberg bags are made - vegetable-tanned -plus they're given a finishing touch by waxing and brushing to add the smoothness and shades of colours to the materials. I love that both handles are detachables and can be adjusted the way you like it. Versatile, just like Mulberry Alexa (but for blokes, of course :D).

So delish. Should we all get one? Well, only if I got £755 to spare. Otherwise.... sigh... :
