Dubbed 'Calgary'

THE CALGARY BAG:
This unisex, tote-style bag is a balance of fashion and function: stylish and elegant on the outside, functional on the inside, designed to fit the lifestyle of the busy modern gentleman or gentlewoman. Ideal for carrying books, technology and gym clothes over the course of a long day. The bag is entirely padded with neoprene to protect technology, and includes specially designed pockets for Ipad, Blackberries and Iphones.
The bag's name ‘Calgary’ originates from the city where Imran Amed (Founder of Business of Fashion) was born, in Alberta, Canada. The bags were designed and created at The Bill Amberg Studios in London, each being handmade by one of our very own In-house Leather Craftsmen.

£495.00

£950.00

Whenever I imagined a fashion product being named after my hometown- Calgary, I never really pictured it being a bag lookin like this...maybe it's cuz I still haven't grasped the look of this bag just yet...but to me, something's a little off, I appreciate the craftsmanship but for $800/495GBP...even though its handmade by an artisan in London, I can't see how it's worth the pricetag. 

I can see the "Black Pony Skin" being a good seller, along with Tan Woven and the Tan Nubuck ones being a classic with the Heritage theme. The "Crowdsourcing Styles" are safer colors, but who knows...this may become the next "it-bag". Props to you Imran, my fellow Calgarian!
(Ps: Please don't beat me to naming shoes after 'Calgary'!)
