Style – Troubadour
Words: Violet
So you’re relaxing on the backseat of a London cab, flicking through The Gentleman’s Journal Magazine (of course) whilst en route to the airport as you embark on an important business trip. In doing so, you’re wearing an immaculate pair of brown brogues, some dark blue selvedge denim, a crisp white shirt with a beautiful trench coat over the top. The finest way to travel in style? It would be, although – as a way of carrying your essentials – you’re using an old holdall gym bag that you’ve dug up out of the loft. Well, the time has come for change.
Let us introduce to you the brand that should be on everybody’s wish list this season: Troubadour. Troubadour are rapidly becoming the leading mens designer when it comes to bags and travel accessories. This is largely due to the fact that Troubadour pride themselves on manufacturing high quality, well designed bags that can transition seamlessly from situation to situation. The vast majority of products from Troubadour are handcrafted in Italy from vegetable tanned leather, making for an extremely sharp sartorial look that’s simple, clean and made to last.
What we particularly admire about the Brand is the way everything is seemingly minimalistic. In an era where patterned/printed bags and accessories are becoming more common than simple designs – Troubadour have outdone themselves in creating products that are refreshingly back-to-basics. With a bag being an extension of your outfit, you want it to fit in with your look. This is something that Troubadour have clearly focused on as every piece is as just effortlessly versatile as the next.
Below we have picked three of our favourite Troubadour pieces that are perfect for whenever and wherever.
