Williams British Handmade

"Historically exceptional craftsmanship was the norm

now it is the exception."

Society, read homo-americus, has become far too comfortable with comfort. Its warm fleece embrace has blanketed most from head to crocs. No place is this more conspicuous than the airport. How frequently the jersey clad (be it billowy or shrink-wrapped) masses tote designer bags boggles the mind. Granted designer luggage is rarely more that cheap advertisement these days.

So when pondering my packing stratagem for my upcoming jaunt, and wishing I had better luggage, I remembered running across the incomparable Williams British Handmade. Luggage worthy of palm sweating anticipation. Beautifully dyed leather, hand saddle stitched, all the brass trimmings and a FORM ≥ FUNCTION philosophy. A philosophy near and dear to our Mauvian hearts.
