In a world of ‘it bags’ that fall in and out of favour with each new fashion season, most shoulder appendages don’t even get the chance to show signs of wear before they are relegated to the back of the wardrobe. Back in the days when fashion wasn’t so fast, a leather bag was a lifelong investment that would weather over time and achieve the charming patina of a life well lived. The Smith & Wesson from Flybird design is intended for such purposes, crafted from oiled buffalo hide. With sturdy stitching and plenty of pockets, it’s bound to remain a longtime companion.
