Staff Picks: Designer Small Leather Goods Edition
If you’re even half as obsessed with clothing and style as us, there’s a good chance you also often catch yourself planning outfits and purchases months in advance of when you’ll actually get to wear them.
However, knowing exactly what to look out for so far ahead of time can be challenging. To help us with that, let us defer to our knowledgeable and tasteful staff. In this edition, a few small leather goods for the coming spring.

“This handy little keychain is just one example from the impressive new collection of small leather goods and accessories from Prada. No matter who you are or what you do, everyone needs a keychain, and this take on an essential key-carrier by Prada hits all the right marks.
“First of all, you can be totally confident your keys will be safe and secure because of the keychain’s sturdy high-shine silver-tone hardware. And second, the stylish black Saffiano leather body is the perfect size for stowing away neatly or grabbing quickly — no matter if you prefer to keep it in your bag, pocket, or glove compartment.”

“I love Salvatore Ferragamo’s subtle nod to the classic horse bit buckle design with their new adjustable bracelet here. Horse bit buckles were made most popular by being featured (primarily) on luxury loafers — another leather good Salvatore Ferragamo is well acquainted with — but the buckles work so well on this chic wrist-piece too.
“I find myself wearing this Italian-crafted calfskin bracelet so much that I often forget to take it off! It’s really become a permanent fixture on my go-to accessories list, transforming a small section of wrist real estate that was previously unoccupied into an area of interest that now starts many conversations.”

“If you’ve got belt loops on your jeans, chinos, or trousers (or any model of pants, really) then you need a high-quality belt that you can rely on for both a firm hold as well as scoring you a few style points. And when it comes to designer leather belts, I find few turn more heads than this brand-new Pebbled Leather Logo piece from Z ZEGNA.
“Italian-made with a dark brown pebbled leather, this accessory does a lot more for your waistline than simply hold your pants up — it’s got a rich visual and tactile depth that really brings the bold logo buckle to the fore. No matter what you wear this with, it’s a belt you’ll definitely want to tuck your shirt in for.”
