Pocket Pollock?

It seems that every brand that has been around for more than 20 years wants to claim some sort of “heritage”; but what these brands fail to realize is that a heritage means nothing if you don’t make good quality products that stand the test of time. Enter Bertoni 1949, as the name suggests, the Italian leather goods manufacturer started back in 1949. 

To this day, Bertoni 1949 continues to observe the traditions of its brand. And most of their collection feels like standard high quality leather bags, the kind your grandfather and father would be proud to carry. But the brand has infused some youth into the collection with the inclusion of a leather backpack (the ‘it’ bag every designer seems to be producing for men these days) and a little bit of Pollock (or MMM) in the form of a paint splattered portfolio. Find your new bag through Bertoni. Just remember, this kind of quality comes with a hefty price tag.

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.
