With the Americana trend taking the menswear world by storm, Woolrich and all of its sub-brands that I can’t keep track of are seeing a huge spike in popularity. Blackbird recently received a new wallet from the Woolrich John Rich & Bros brand and despite all the attention its gotten, I’m not very impressed by it. Sure, [...]

Lark has created a billfold wallet with fellow Vancouverite, Tannis Hegan. It’s handmade with goat hide and silk lining and even comes with a cotton bag with leather patch. There’s really no use for the bag, but little packaging details like this are often the deciding factor for me when choosing a product. The wallet [...]

Call me bland, but grey is one of my favorite colors (along with black and beige). Combine that with my favorite bag and you have the latest Visvim collection. The Ballistic trio includes the 20L backpack, 18L E-Cat Messenger Bag, and Bi-Fold wallet. The only thing missing is the in-between sized 8L Lumbar Bag. They [...]

Porter has teamed up with Levi’s for a collection of bags and cases ranging from key holders to waist bags to totes. Each item is available in black or brown canvas and features the iconic red tab attached to the Porter label.

Oak received some new bags and wallets from Surface to Air. The collection uses 100% calf leather in various treatments including textured and patent. My favorite is the Carbon Big Wallet because of the grey textured leather, but the wallet itself seems really inconvenient with its many zippers and sideways slots.

Opening Ceremony is hooking up with everyone, that slut of a brand. This time it’s with famed leather goods company, Billykirk. The diverse collection includes many Billykirk-style bags and cases in bright, non-Billykirk-style colors. Personally, I don’t think the rainbow colors are a good look for any leather goods. The only bags I like in [...]

Mismo will be releasing some new pieces this December under their Full Grain Leather collection. The additions will include a tote, wallet, and laptop case. I really like how the laptop case has a zipper running along two sides of it. It’s pretty common to see that on wallets, so I’m surprised I haven’t seen [...]

Three new zip wallets from Billykirk are now available at Blackbird: a gusseted card case, a billfold wallet, and a longer gusseted wallet. Billykirk is well-known for their high quality leather goods, and these wallets are no different. They’re handmade in the USA and feature unfinished leather lining with riri zippers. If I had to [...]

Visvim is releasing a series of canvas bags including a tote bag, wallet, and waist bag. The waist bag is my favorite bag of this collection, even though I don’t know when I’d ever wear one (waist bags, aka fanny packs, just scream “Asian tourist”). The brand is notoriously expensive, usually because of the exotic [...]
