Meanwhile, relaxed trousers round out a range that combines a young and masculine aesthetic with a progressive style.”

Moore & Giles Slim Portfolio [S/S 2010]

Leather goods maker Moore & Giles has a wonderful lineup for the coming spring and summer seasons, with many of the fine hand made products already hitting stockists.

The brown finish is crafted of American bison leather and fitted with a striped cotton interior, single divider and interior leather business card and pen holder.
