A tasty treat

For the past few weeks Susie has been there, everywhere but rarely here. The latest adventure took her to Berlin where in addition to falling for the charms of the German capital while exploring Bread & Butter she discovered numerous menswear treats that she has gladly shared with me. As well as picking up a few business cards and taking mouth watering product photos she brought back something truly special...a tasty treat of an altogether different kind.

The best present a boy could wish for...

When most people's partners return from spells abroad a tasty treat tends to refer to a giant Toblerone but Susie picked up something truly special from Wood Wood. Now, don't get me wrong, I love a novelty sized triangular chocolate like the next man but this backpack from Munich based label akindofguise is the best present a boy could wish for. It is the perfect bag to carry my daily essentials around town and beyond. Made from the softest leather that these grubby mitts have ever stroked I'm forced to type one with hand as the other is reluctant to stop touching it. The real beauty though is in the hand crafted detail so lets take a closer look...

My perfect day bag...carrying my daily essentials in true style.

The profile...

The leather is so soft I don't know whether to wear it or spread it on my sourdough.

I think I'm in love...

akindofguise are a young Munich based label that see their second collection exclusively stocked at Wood Wood in Berlin. All of their pieces are strictly limited edition or are even unique. To the best of my knowledge this backpack is the only one in existence and now it sits proudly on my shoulders. Each item is handcrafted using the finest, premium materials. They mix traditional elements from different backgrounds that inspire them. Return tomorrow and I'll share their latest look book and video with you but for now I just want to stroke my bag and to declare how lucky I am.
