#ManBag day ..

* old favourite from my Mom & Sister when Bottega Veneta were not owned by Gucci

This >5 YO Bottega satchel has seen a lot with me over the years.. It just gets better every outing.

Many messages about my daily ring.

It is from Bottega Veneta & the silver is woven into their house weave aka “intrecciato”. So it is hollow!

Cuss! Who calls at this time of the morning? The sacred time of narcissism.. 

For those that are new to my tumblr, I used to live in a Grown Man World of bespoke/MTO suits/shirts/ties/shoes up until a recent change in organisation where suits/ties are a “no go policy”.

But, as the weather is cooling (down here in the antipodes) & am in a situation where I can start experimenting with what I used to deem as “Grown Man Business Casual” for casual (Fri)days in the corporate world.

How long will this last? Who knows as I don’t..
