As much as shoes and sneaker  shopping are obvious and fairly easy for the snobs. Choosing an appropriate handbag often seems like a chore.  The ‘It ‘ bag ( except the A. Wang Rocco & Marcy) gets too boring and the super high end logo’d options end up too flashy in what we  see as very predictable. Then again isn’t  wearing a pair of Louboutins just the same ? In my head, absolutely not. Needless to say aside for a fierce clutch here in there. The game is a fail. This little leopard number by Jas Mb might just be a good place to start .  Quality, subtlety, and just enough sass. Take a closer look on the flip via browns.

Jas MB has stayed true to making leather accessories that transcend fads and trends and because of their buttery  texture and design, get better and better with time.  Spring 2011 sees the introduction of hidden hardware, like the chains on the bag above, which add  a  cool minimalist touch. On the next page a few of our faves.

This is the kind of thing I will need very soon,  as we went from Summer to Fall in a matter of days. Jas MB  designs a flawless  knit coat that looks as cozy as it is  warm: A wool and alpaca blend will ensure that.  A full view on the flip available at browns.

With airlines charging a fee for each bag we check -in , stateside  the need for stylish comfortable and durable luggage is  more than ever vital. Jas MB, based in the UK  designs accessories that are sleek, timeless and branded with subtelty. The Wings Traveller is (one of my faves) is a perfect example of that bag you will be able to  carry through many journeys. A  closer look at the JasMB ‘Wings’ Traveller on  the next page . Available at browns.
