This week Clem and I decided to make the most of the British summer sun and got out on the market to see what baggage the men of London are carrying. I cannot help but think Vivienne Westwood whoosing past on her bike at the start of the excursion was an omen for the interesting finds to come….

We happily discovered that increasing amounts of men are removing the straps and carrying their bags by hand, good men!- it makes a refreshing change and is infinitely more confidently appealing than the old faithful canvas messenger or, even worse, the sports rucksack.

We met some inspirational people, got some fabulous shots of great pieces, a slight tan and excellent research for the new man bag! A great day all in- sun, and men of London, please keep shining!
