Canadian fashion photographer and blogger Tommy Ton has flexed his creative muscles to create two handbags in collaboration with Club Monaco.
Since Ton spends so much time writing about fashion and capturing it on film, it makes sense that he’d try his hand at design. His low key backpack and messenger bag won’t revolutionize the fashion industry, but they’re bound to become go-to bags for guys and girls everywhere. I particularly like the way the rich blue bonded cotton twill works with the brushed nickel hardware and leather trim.
For Ton the decision to work with Club Monaco was an easy one. He’s a long-time fan who’s worn the label’s apparel and accessories since his teenage years.
“They’ve always emphasized basics with the greatest quality and functionality for both a man and woman’s wardrobe,” he explained. “If any brand could understand my own personal style and aesthetic, it is Club Monaco.“
The pair of purses will be available from March 20 in Club Monaco stores in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia. With prices ranging from $198 to $225, they’re affordable enough for even frugal bag lovers to indulge in.
