No. 13

No. 06
Tom Ford Grain Leather T-Icon Belt
$$$Grain leather with brass hardware, and reversible, so one belt gets to age two ways.
No. 18
Veja Etna Bold Leather Full Black Slides
$$Padded black leather, touch-strap, flat rubber sole. The sensible slide, with a little give.
No. 14
Ferragamo Gancini Credit Card Holder
$$$Blue hammered calfskin, small metal Gancini. A card holder that darkens toward ink with handling.
No. 16
Tod's Card Holder In Leather
$$$Soft calfskin, snap strap, three gusseted compartments. Pocket-sized, and built to take the creases.
No. 11
Fendi Baguette Parchment-coloured Leather Slides
$$$Parchment tumbled leather, calf-lined. Bone-coloured and quiet; it will pick up a tan.
Jack disagrees: “Two Fendi slides, bone and brown. A slide is a summer shoe; where's the weight?”
No. 12
Fendi Baguette Dark Brown Leather Slides
$$$Dark brown tumbled leather in tobacco territory. Scuffs here will read as character.
No. 07
Chloé Woody Small Linen Tote
$$$A small linen tote that will crumple pleasantly and never pretend otherwise.
No. 08
Prada Jardinière Extra-large Cotton Canvas Tote Bag
$$$Cotton canvas, visible stitching, leather trim. Extra large, so it can take the bread and the books.
Jack disagrees: “A canvas tote is a bookshop bag. Why does this one need a famous name?”
No. 15
The Row Vivienne Leather Slide Sandals
$$$A minimalist leather slide with no logo to age out of. Pairs well with a creased linen trouser.
No. 10
The Row Georgia Canvas Tote
$$$Plain canvas, plain lines. The bag is plain so the walk doesn't have to be.
Jack disagrees: “Plain canvas, plain lines, and the fifth tote on this list. Pick one.”
No. 09
Balenciaga Medium Le City Tote Bag
$$$Goatskin, brass hardware, hand-braided handles with waxed cord. Hardware that should warm and dull nicely.
Jack disagrees: “Le City is a recognisable bag first, a hard-wearing object second. Where's the unhurried part?”
