The Pick: the holdall for the man in motion

If there’s one condition that unites almost every gentleman, it’s that he is in perpetual motion. This trend hasn’t gone unnoticed by Byron and Dexter Peart, co-founders of Montreal-based brand Want Les Essentiels. In fact, travel as the driving force behind their products. Satisfying the desire for products that make our movements smooth and stylish, the Hartsfield holdall is a discerning blend of fashion and function. Like all Want Les Essentiels products, the zipper has one set of teeth in silver, the other gold – a celebration of mingling opposites.

A design of considered simplicity, this monochrome bag is constructed in luxury organic cotton-canvas produced in Turkish mills; the leather trimmings come from prestigious French and Italian tanneries. With a removable shoulder strap, it’s ideal short for that short summer break or quick trip to the coast to escape the steadily perspiring city. One for those who move, it’s a bag in which every detail contributes to the quality of the whole.
