On my last visit to New York, I stumbled onto a leather textile shop filled with various leather bag designs, from leather satchels to messenger bags and purses. Since I have been on the hunt for ‘The Perfect’ leather duffel travel bag, I was intrigued by many of the label designer like shapes and designs. I quickly became a fan of their ‘Style #102′ contrasting brown leather duffel due to its rugged, handmade construction with a thick and supple leather unlike any I have found previous. A beefy, sturdy zipper and water-resistant green ballistic nylon lining sealed the deal. Well worth a look if you are looking for a designer style at a lower price and much higher handmade quality with better materials, leather, zipper and hardware.
The artisan looking store is located in Manhattan at 333 Greenwich Ave (corner of 10th & Charles St) or online at josephhannaleather.com. Just follow the scent of high quality leather and be ready for a ‘hard sell’ as they can be a bit pushy- but the goods are well worth it.

A cool hunter with an eye for design, I believe it's not just how an item looks, but how it functions. Style and fashion are temporary, but good art and design are forever. 
A side note, be sure to barter the price down! His prices are negotiable, so throw a price out that you think is reasonable and see what happens!
I like my dior purses, but I haven’t really checked out other brands of bags. There are many diverse brands in the stores that every girl should investigate. Brands including Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, and Burberry. They are really modern and can match with the correct attire to make you sizzling hot.
