You can have an entire capsule wardrobe made up of staple pieces the likes of chinos, minimal sneakers and sweatshirts, but it won’t quite be complete without the right leather accessories.
Leather is a versatile option for accessories such as men's belts and bags and if looked after can last a lifetime, making it a relatively sustainable option to add to your rotation. Here are five leather accessories to complete your look.
Lanyard - Campbell Cole
Wearable leather accessories have become big business in recent seasons and this lanyard zipper wallet by Campbell Cole shows why. With a removable paracord lanyard, it can be worn around the neck or pocketed as a regular zip wallet, the choice is yours. Made from vegetable tanned leather which will take on a unique patina with time, this coin pouch is made in England, and built to last.
Tote bag - Bennett Winch
A full leather bag is an opulent purchase, but one that you’ll likely take great pleasure from. Crafted from full grain Tuscan leather, Bennett Winch’s tote bag is made by hand in England and is a surprisingly versatile piece.
