Carbon-Fiber Briefcase by Schedoni

schedoni briefcase

Schedoni. To most people, the name doesn't carry any meaning. But to those in the know, it's the marque of the finest craftsmanship. The century-old Italian leather-crafters make all the fitted luggage for Ferrari road cars, and even fabricate that little pad at the back of a Scuderia Ferrari F1 car to keep Kimi and Felipe's helmets from knocking against the carbon fiber bodywork. But when the atelier isn't too busy stitching together those tiny little cases for Maranello, or making a special line of driving shoes together with Puma, they make some of their own products, too, and this is one of our favorites: an exquisitely-crafted carbon fiber briefcase.

Made from the same materials used on the most exotic of sports and racing cars, the carbon fiber shell is painstakingly woven and baked in a kiln. It's such an intricate process that half the ones they try to make have to be scrapped. Inside, Schedoni lines the lightweight case with beautifully tanned suede for that look and feel which only Ferrari's own bag-makers could manage. Of course that kind of excellence comes at a price: $4,400 in this case. At least this way your wallet will be lighter, too.

Dunhill's Moto-Inspired Sidecar Gunmetal Collection

Filed under: Wheels, Men's Style

dunhill sidecar briefcase
The latest stylish offering from Dunhill, the London-based men's clothier and luxury goods firm, is the Sidecar Gunmetal Collection of business and travel bags and cases, inspired by a motorcycle sidecar the firm designed back in 1915. 100 years ago when Alfred Dunhill inherited his father's saddelry business and began catering to the brand new trade in automotive accouterments, the firm's motto was "Everything But The Motor". Gunmetal is a type of bronze originally used in gunmaking that is resistant to corrosion from steam and salt water, which nicely complements the rugged good looks of the black leather cases.

The collection consists of six large pieces, including a Holdall, Touring Case, a Single and Double Document Case (above) and Double and Single Zip Briefcases, along with a range of smaller pieces including wallets, key cases and a toiletry kit, designed to complement the well-dressed gentleman. Sidecar motorcycles have become highly sought after; in April, Bonhams in the UK will auction off a collection of them at the International Classic Motorcycle Show in Stafford, including a 1949 race-winning Norton Manx/Watsonian, estimated at about $60,000 - $70,000. Dunhill also makes a collection of luggage for Bentley.

Comfy and Relaxed: Henry Beguelin Men's Bags

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Okay, I'm not a man so I can't write about these Henry Beguelin men's bags from the angle of "I'd sure love to have one." But I can say that any guy I see carrying one will score a second glance and bonus fashion points, in my book anyway. Depending on your own personal style, they most likely appeal to earthier types who care about their appearance and want something nice, but also like the comfortable and natural "lived in" look. To me they nicely communicate two things: "I'm successful" and "I'm not stuffy." Not an entirely easy thing for a bag to do.

My favorite of the bunch, this Italian cracked leather computer bag with shoulder strap, sells for $1,750.

Yves St Laurent Muse Document Case

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags, Journeys

From the fall runway collection, Yves St Laurent's Muse Document Case is practical, but stunning to look at. You can see the craftsmanship from a distance on chocolate leather accented with bold topstitching and a gold D-ring tab on the flap closure. The bag is ideal for travel, especially on a business trip where you need to travel light. It has narrow pockets for tickets, passports, travelers' cheques and, of course, various documents. As long as you are using your blackberry - as opposed to a laptop, which would require a separate bag - on your trip, you should have absolutely no trouble staying organized and mobile with a case like this one by your side. Price: $495.

Spungle Reviews Filson Leather Field Satchel

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

filson field satchel
Our friends over at Spungle checked out the $795 FIlson Leather Field Satchel. Is it worth the price? They say yes, citing its durability and obvious gorgeousness. The satchel is made of thick chocolate brown bridle leather. The bag stands upright on its own and is big enough to carry legal files. Alas, it's not designed to carry your laptop, although it is large enough to hold one. It has a brass latch and details. It's a compromise between a constructed briefcase and an overly slouchy messenger bag. There's only one thing wrong with it in my opinion, it weighs six pounds without anything in it. Might be a heavy load for a chronic bag overstuffer like me.
