Equip.co.uk – Energie Black Leather Holdall
Leather is one of the oldest fabrics known to man and one that has been dividing opinion for years. There are those who are opposed to it and there are some that swear by it. Whichever view you choose to take, you can’t refute that aesthetically, it can be used to create some of the most beautiful products in the world.
One of its more well known byproducts is the leather bag - it’s a timeless investment for any man. It’s one of the most neutral and perfect fabrics to use for this type of accessory. Being durable, it weathers well and looks better with age. Finally and most importantly, it surpasses trends. A leather bag in a classic silhouette/design will forever look good.
So now we’ve convinced you as to why it’s such an investment, let us introduce you to this week’s P.O.T.W.
This classic black leather holdall from Energie features a well-padded laptop compartment suitable for laptops up to 15″, an additional internal pocket organiser and detachable shoulder straps, for those longer journeys where your biceps take a battering.
Now onto the styling…
We went for a monochromatic style for this look. We began with a white button down cotton shirt and dropped a charcoal grey cardigan over it. To complete the layered look, we paired it with a black tux style blazer. Read More

Tuk Tuk – Woven Belt
With this week’s Product of the Week, we felt like keeping it in-house. We’ve sourced out a great young British brand whose accessories provide us with the perfect summer colour filler.
Tuk Tuk are an online-based company that produce a variety of menswear items from floral shirts to chambray tote bags. The most outstanding feature about all their products is their use of colour; they fuse many of the items with unusual colour-ways. We picked out their green and white woven leather belt to focus on.
Using London’s Gherkin (30 St. Mary Axe) with its woven style glass paneling as the perfect backdrop to style up our summer fit, we started snapping.
Now onto the look….

B-Side By Wale Tote Bag
School days. Sweet school days. The time when I began delving into style. Due to our strict uniform policy, the only way of stylistically expressing yourself would be through your bag, shoes, jacket and during the winter, your hat.
One hat that was more popular than chicken and chips in east London was the iconic graffitti-designed beanie from a London based designer known as Wale Adeyemi. The popularity of his designs was duly recognised in the shape of an MBE.
His brand B-side has come out strong this season and we showcase one of his designs; the Tote/Satchel bag; a classic tote bag that doubles up as a satchel depending on how you wear it.
Dropping in a rich, deep red, this bag is big enough to fit most laptops with enough space left over for your other prized possessions.

Introducing Street Style Sundays
Welcome to our very first Street Style Sundays post. This will be a regular feature and for those of you paying attention, it will be posted up every Sunday.
The aim is to show and celebrate the variety of styles and the levels of creativity that the men of London possess, while hopefully providing some wardrobe inspiration to those who are in need.
Not everything is going to be to everyones style but there will always be something that you can pick up or, in the very least, appreciate.
So sit back and enjoy and remember the next time you head out that door, make that extra bit of effort. You never know you could be on here next week!

Name: Celso
Occupation: Music Producer
What we really like about Celso’s look is his subtle use of accessories. He’s wearing four pieces; the chain, bracelet, watch and sunglasses, yet they don’t seem to drown out his outfit. He also manages to pair contrasting denims, which is a very hard thing to do. Read More

Bag Style
This week I spotted a variety of bags while out and about ; old, new, good and plain AWFUL! So I thought I’d lay down my thoughts on the subject.
