Accessories for your suits and other office wear.

  • Coffee Break – Marmont Shoulder Bag

    I love the look of this shoulder bag from Treesje — the chain strap, the geometric look, the colorblocking, the flap with magnetic closure, the additional handle if you’d prefer to carry it by hand… lovely.

They’re that great in-between shoe for when sneakers are too casual and wingtips are too, well, formal — and they’re chock full…
