Folio of my heart

Smythson of Bond Street has been making leather goods since 1887; they produce understated sophisticated leather pieces crafted to last you a lifetime. If it’s good enough for the Queen (they make leather goods for the Royal Family) then it is good enough for me. My favourite from their current roster: the Eliot Folio is pretty fuckin sweet. Perforated leathery goodness. ImageImage

But if you prefer a handle with your bag you can opt for the Elliot Document Case but I find it just too thick for my liking.ImageImage

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
