NEWS IN Pouch

Whether you’re dashing between meetings in the city or catching the next flight out of town, Balenciaga provides the stylish solution to keeping organised on the move with this rich burgundy creased-leather pouch (325€). With enough space for your keys, cards, phone and a passport, this accessory will effortlessly streamline your day. Indeed, this magnificent pouch looks like my Kansai MBP case by Want Les Essentiels but even more practical to handle all day long. Available on Mr Porter Read the rest of this entry »

A wonderful cigar case made of exotic wood with a beautiful ornament of four golden horns on the front and “Hermès – Paris” engraved at the bottom on a metal plate. That precious vintage treasure’s a rare collector and a fine gift for the connoisseurs. Impossible to find unfortunately. Read the rest of this entry »

Goyard, the luxurious Parisian luggage maker founded in 1853, somehow manages to stay hip. The monogramming is easy to spot but the custom made program will let you create the format and color scheme you want so that it’s unique. Their tote is one of the most fought for bags in the galaxy but I’d rather go for a large pouch / portfolio like the one hereabove. I simply fear going to the store because I know this could be potentially dangerous for my bank account. No need to say that they propose some amazing trunks too. Reminds me of The Darjeeling Limited ! I’m craving for one ! Read the rest of this entry »

Isaac Reina manufactures exclusive accessories with highly trained craftsmen in a small atelier in Paris. Their leather goods exude a truly luxurious feel. I still remember when I first touched the leather on a MacBook sleeve at Studiohomme’s showroom. It was really impressive. They use high grade box calf leather and I believe it goes better with each collection. Check out some pieces of the collection right after the break and take it as a sure gift for Christmas !

Our regular readers know how much we love clutches here. Well, the love story goes on ! This time, the crush is this 3.1 Phillip Lim Scuba Neoprene Clutch in a flashy corail blue/green color. The foldout clutch has a concealed zip top and main compartment closure so that everything stays inside ! If the rest of your outfit is simple, the poping colour of this clutch could be a nice upgrade ! Read the rest of this entry »

Oh no they didn’t ?! Maison Martin Margiela introduces this astonishing laptop case as part of Line 11. The phone pouch was already an instant coup de coeur but this case is a-ma-zing. Could be under the three for Xmass ? Or sooner ? Made in Italy with hand finished details, fully lined shearling interior with two black elastic bands to keep your laptop secured. It comes with Margiela stationery featuring card holder, pencil and notebook. It’s not an accessory, it is style you carry. Bad point is that you seriously increase the probability for your laptop to be robbed. Or maybe they’ll just steal the case.  Read the rest of this entry »

Although we’re big fans of WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie here at HME, I see we’ve never introduced you to the brand’s leather goods collection. Want les essentiels de la vie was conceived by Montreal twin brothers, Dexter and Byron Peart out of a “want” for premium quality leather goods to house the “essential” professional and personal products that we use in our modern everyday lives : iPhones, MacBooks and other obsessive devices… They have a complete collection of pouch, bags, wallets, portfolio, bags, luggage, etc… My favourite item, and believe me, it’s hard to tell in front of so many perfectly crafted accessories, is this Kansai model of computer portfolio. It stores and protects a 13 or 15″ Macbook Pro while keeping enough place for documents, cards, pens and other day-to-day things. I advise you to take a look at their website, our friends at Studiohomme have some model in stock right now for purchase! Read the rest of this entry »

If doubts still remained about how to wear a clutch or pouch instead of a bag, here is a selection of inspiring street style shots. I really like the Céline clutches because it is as simple as it always should be. Still you can find pretty original options with Alexander Wang, Miu Miu, Mc Queen or even self made creations !

Be grateful that you can actually wear some bright fluo colors this season because I’m not sure it’s going to last forever. Considering the purchase of the perfect accessory for this spring, I recommend you to take a look at Céline’s options like this “solo smooth lambskin clutch pouch fluo peach”. That’s how complex it’s officially named and it surely doesn’t reflect Céline’s devotion to simplicity and minimalism. Here is the link.
