Primo Carryall

The Primo Carryall in dark chocolate is the big leather backpack for the full day, the laptop, the change of shoes, the things a commute collects. The Veluna in dark chocolate suede is its soft, drier-day partner: a hobo with a nap instead of a grain, one zipped compartment, a strap over the shoulder, and best kept for the evenings the forecast is kind. Chocolate with chocolate, leather against suede, the same colour at two depths. The Carryall does the working week and the weather; the Veluna does the dinner and the dry Sunday. In June you leave the backpack at home and carry the suede to the terrace.

The Primo Carryall in dark chocolate is the hands-free bag for the days with weight in them. The Alessa in dark chocolate suede is the softer piece for the days without: a compact shoulder bag at the hip, the phone and the cards and the keys, and a nap that asks for a dry pavement. They are never carried together. The backpack goes to work and through the rain; the suede Alessa goes to lunch, to the shop, to the evening under a clear sky. Chocolate leather beside chocolate suede reads as one wardrobe. A Saturday in late spring, the Alessa on the shoulder, the Carryall still on its hook.
