London-based luxury label Dunhill is expanding into the world of men’s luggage this season. Forget metrosexual murses; the heirloom travel bags from the spring/summer 2010 collection ooze masculinity.
The Bladon Leather collection is crafted from vegetable tanned leather with a sophisticated natural grain. The treated cowhide gives each piece its own personality now, but its marks and shades will only ripen with age as the skin takes on a rich patina. There are four styles to choose from, each crafted with elegance and practicality in mind. They are accented with brushed nickel hardware and lined in durable cotton twill.
The collection’s moniker is a nod to the brand’s rich heritage. It is named after the English town where loyal Dunhill customer Sir Winston Churchill was buried.
No prices are confirmed yet, but I’m pretty confident that these bags won’t go cheaply. They will be available at Dunhill boutiques and selected retailers around the world.
