What To Buy This Week: Vol. 19

Masters of minimalist design, Troubadour have just released what might be the ultimate weekend bag. A classic tote with a zip closure, it’s made from an innovative coated canvas which was developed in partnership with a fabric mill in Como, Italy. The canvas is water-resistant - perfect for winter - and combines with leather detailing in the base, handles and zip pull, infusing the luxurious attention to detail that Troubadour has become known for. The fully-lined interior has a multitude of pockets making it ideal for travel and its pared-back design means it’s as suited to business as it is for a 48-hour weekend trip. £345.00, www.troubadourgoods.com.

Think of John Lobb and you’ll likely imagine traditional Goodyear-welted leather oxfords, but under the helm of Paula Gerbase the brand’s ready-to-wear collection also boasts an incredibly stylish range of casual footwear. The Porth is John Lobb’s latest trainer style, taking its inspiration from shoes usually reserved for sporting activity. Despite their immense levels of comfort, you won’t want to put these under too much strain as they exude the same level of luxury that is synonymous with the brand. A single piece of leather or suede is used to create the upper of the sneaker, whilst the inside is fully lined, also with natural leather. The lightweight sole combines with the perforated “sacchetto” construction to ensure a flexibility and breathability that is unmatched. £490.00, www.johnlobb.com.

As discussed in a recent article on the rise of rakish man-jewellery, there is a place for stylish rings, chains and bracelets in the modern man’s wardrobe. Alice Made This is one such brand that excels in producing accessories that fall under all three of those categories, with this bracelet being a particularly outstanding example. Part of their ‘Silversmith’ series, the Bancroft bracelet is made from solid silver and is inspired by Brutalist architecture with its mixture of curved and straight edges, and raw and polished surfaces. It’s hand-finished in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and is an ideal first foray into jewellery thanks to its subtle, minimalistic design. £270.00, www.alicemadethis.com.

Using Eisenberg’s signature Trio-Molecular formula, which effectively eliminates dead skin cells revealing shiny new skin beneath, this cleanser is an ideal everyday face wash. Perfect for use before shaving, the cleanser’s active ingredients work together to create a foam, which in turn combats the affects of pollution and grime that may damage your skin. Soothing and gentle enough for daily use, you’ll easily be able to incorporate this wash into your morning routine. £36.00, www.eisenberg.com.

An up close shot of the wool and cashmere-blend fabric of this Gucci trench coat reveals no less than eight colours (there may be more), which is reason alone to include it in this edit. The fabric transforms the classic trench coat into a statement piece, which as everyone knows is best worn with muted garments to allow it to shine. Elsewhere the styling is all-traditional; eight button double-breasted front, belted waist, deep back yoke, raglan sleeves and buttoned cuffs. The one glaring omission is the lack of shoulder epaulettes, which is actually a good thing as it gives the jacket a cleaner, more contemporary feel. £1,630.00, www.mrporter.com.
