Ted Baker and Brady Bags like fishing

TEDSEY - £325

DISSEY- £225

FLYBAG - £155

Ted Baker (Twitter - @ted_baker) and Brady Bags have come together this November to create a bespoke range of men's and woman's bags for both the town and the countryside.  The lovely men's collection features three main styles and are all made in England

We are told that the collection came about as Ted is particularly found of fly fishing, and often carried a Brady Bag around with him when partaking in a spot of rod and reel action.  So one sunny day when popping his trout into his Brady (they are rubber lined especially for this) Ted thought that perhaps he should have his own fishing bag.

And so the collaboration was born.

Magical spectacles with Kirk Originals

Flagship London Store

Kinect

Sunglasses

Kirk Hero's

Saturn

Sculpture

I have been looking for a pair of new glasses for sometime.  Basically, whilst driving my D&G's slipped off my face and out of the window.  They were gone forever, sad times!  So the hunt began for some new spectacles.

Well luckily for a modern day dandy, there is a great selection out there.  However, it wasn't until lately that we were introduced to Kirk Originals (Twitter - @kirkoriginals).  These quirky but cool eye accessories not only come in a variety of classic frames but they also have an array of fabulous colours.  The Kinetic collection includes lenticular images along the side of the frames, which produces a moving image whilst in different light. It's a little like magic, and we love them.

The clever chap behind Kirk's, Mr Jason Kirk, has just opened a flagship store in London, so go down and check it out.  As Jason says about the store, 'it provides  a unique experience and ensures everyone leaves with a pair of  Kirk Originals glasses that makes them look and feel fabulous’.
