Billykirk: Satchels Built to Last
Sigh. Another covetable bag to add to your wish-list by a blogger (in this case, Kitsune Noir). And yet, something about these leather bags and accessories by Billykirk, designed by brothers William and Chris Kirkland, makes them more like must-haves than really-wants. Working with Amish leather craftsmen, who help manufacture the pieces, the brothers churn out gorgeous yet durable bags, wallets, card cases, and more, all in vegetable-dyed leather, that withstand the test of time. A warm brown satchel modeled after a Belgian World War II-era map case and an army-green doctor bag are built to last, making them worth every penny. Hey, if the Amish are making them, they must have some staying power. (Kitsune Noir)
Available at Unis, 226 Elizabeth Street, New York, 212-431-5533; www.unisnewyork.com and Wolf, 1405 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, 310-392-8551. For more information go www.billykirk.com.
