THE PERFECT WORK BAG

Smythson has a history of crafting useful pieces for writers and poets. Its latest men’s bag, aptly named the Poet’s messenger bag is large enough to accommodate all your notebooks and writing paraphernalia. Cut from hard-wearing large grain calf leather, a few knocks here and there will only ensure that this bag gets better with time.

THE SUSTAINABLE WELLIE

Stella McCartney has joined forces with British boot brand, Hunter, to create a collection of sustainable winter wellies. The rubber booties caused quite a stir when they first stepped out at Stella’s A/W 2019 Paris runway show. Made from sustainably sourced natural rubber, the waterproof boots boast all the Hunter trademarks, including sculptural soles and treads that have been ‘built-out’ by hand. Now where’s that puddle?
