Jack Spade Grained Leather Bag

No frills, masculine, basic, functional....these are the words I will use to sum up Jack Spade. Sometimes the bags are too industrial looking for my taste, but from time to time, the design takes on such nice shapes that I become a fan again.:-)

Take this new Jack Spade Grained Leather Bag for example. It has a 'doctor's bag' like top snap button opening which unveils a nice contrasting green coloured fabric lining. The bag also features hand carry handles and a shoulder strap for ease of movement. The best feature which I like, is the bag is in black leather instead of the usual canvas which Jack Spade bags are famous for. Makes the bag much more luxurious and perfect for fall winter season.

Retail price: US $495. Where to buy: www.helloblackbird.blogspot.com

Jack Spade Canvas Briefcase

Cool bag from Jack Spade. Trade your leather model for a more relaxed version from Jack Spade. What's most intriguing about this bag is the asymmetric shape of the bag. Right side is angled while the left side is rounded. Very interesting indeed. And the use of leather trimmings and canvas in all the right places with a handsome chocolate colour scheme. I love the shoulder strap option as well. Brilliant piece of man bag that goes a long way in this summer season!

Wonder if Singapore's Kate Spade stores will carry this bag. And the prices should be reasonable as Jack Spade always makes good bags with good prices.
