BAGS OF STYLE

Bertoni Valigeria 

For a man on the move, there are various essentials, from gadgets to grooming products, that are a necessary part of everyday life. Since overstuffed pockets are never a good look, a stylish bag is a must. After all, first impressions count. So whether you choose a briefcase, backpack or holdall, it's worth investing. 

Bertoni Valigeria, the eponymous Italian label started in 1949 when Riccardo Bertoni and his partners began designing trunks and travel suitcases. Today, it produces a line of luxury bags for connoisseurs and for customers with an appreciation of beauty and fine craftsmanship. The recently released Fall/Winter 2015 men's collection reflects the labels rich heritage, and the traditions of its founding father. 

The business-friendly biker bag is perfect for the office and comes in alligator, French calf leather, or soft calf leather. For something a little unusual, and my personal favorite, there's a paint spattered version, inspired by the American artist Jackson Pollock. The all black Jules Backpack is a little more understated, and features central straps, suede lining and palladium hardware. Whichever you go for, you can be sure of something that is both practical and stylish.
