LaCie | ForMoa 13” Laptop Case | $28

I love the color and texture of these… Almost makes me wish I needed a new laptop case.

London Undercover | Commuter Umbrella | ~$101

Hackett | Mayfair Rug/Throw/Blanket | ~$140

Exuvius | Titan Collar Stays | $40 (Set of 4)

Collar stays, bottle openers, screwdrivers… These are just a few of the things I can never seem to find when I need. So what happens when all three are combined in one tiny gadget? Will I be three times more likely to lose them?

Maison Martin Margiela | Wood Grain Belt | $235

Brooks Brothers | Black Fleece by Thom Browne | Soft Briefcase | $600

Travelteq | Trash Panther & Trash Fox | ~$485

I’m probably just posting this because Monocle is poking out of the one on the left (that would be the Trash Panther).

Tod’s | Sunglasses Collection

I am really digging the leather wrapped around the temples of these sunglasses… Summery, sophisticated casual… The business.

Porter | Smoky Backpack | $460

Delvaux for Monocle | Newspaper Bag | ~$2400

This is certainly a function of my youth, but I can’t help but feel that newspaper bags are more appealing for their folksiness than their functionality. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it really feels like the days of the newspaper are over, like it might be the next big thing for hipsters to read newspapers, because it’s so much more authentic than reading the news online. I’m rambling—that last sentence is an abomination—but the main point is that it seems silly to buy a $2400 bag whose defining characteristic revolves around a dying medium. Of course, being silly and expensive has never stopped me from featuring something on here before.
