The Men’s Bag Trends Seen At Pitti Uomo

It appears that the classic leather briefcase is making a return for 2020. Particularly those with an envelope flap design and a timeless brass push lock. The top handle allows you to swing this style by your side and its slimline form also provides you with the liberty to tuck it under your arm as you travel from A to B. Spotted at this month’s Pitti Uomo teamed with wax jackets and tweed tailoring, it’s apparent that this specimen of case still requires an element of traditional and debonair attire due to its historic and nostalgic shape. If your profession demands reams of paperwork, a classic leather push lock briefcase offers all the class as well as the functionality. Akin to these gentlemen at Pitti, ensure that you invest in a leather that will patina gracefully. Our full-grain vegetable-tanned leather is deemed the most desirable by leather connoisseurs due to its natural character.

A modern approach to carrying your belongings, the slim folder was noticed on the street of Florence as Pitti-goers rushed to exhibitions and meetings. This no-fuss, no-frills accessory offers a minimal and practical way to store your essentials. As showcased at this year’s Pitti Uomo, the slim leather folder can be tucked under the armpit or held by your side and provides a contemporary style one may class as exceptionally ‘European’. This trend deserves a level of modernity, so ensure that your ensemble reflects this; think minimally structured overcoats, sleek trousers, and understated knitwear. The beauty of this piece of leather craftsmanship is the multi-functionality it exudes. It is appropriate for both a cafe pitstop at the weekend or a meeting during the week. A slim folder will undoubtedly become one of your most valued items.

For those gentlemen who prefer to travel extremely light, a folio or clutch that can be clasped in your hand, almost as if you’ve always left in a rush and grabbed it as you walked out the door, is a key trend piece for 2020. Again, this style is rather daring and requires a certain level of flair to execute properly. If you carry your techy gadgets on a daily basis, this is an effortless way to incorporate this piece into your daily style. A pouch-shaped tablet case can double as a place to store your tech as well as other files and belongings. A more traditional clutch style with a wrist strap offers the ultimate classic Italian aesthetic. This trend complements all styles, so it will suit all components of your wardrobe and your lifestyle. If you care to use this type of accessory several times a week, a durable leather, like our signature full-grain, is recommended in order to ensure longevity.
