Sharp List: Briefcase by Dior Homme

Structured briefcases will always have a place in the working world, but more and more designers are experimenting with their own interpretation of the traditional businessman’s bag. Take this handsome number from Dior Homme, for example.

The bag is an exercise in subtle design that still stands out, thanks to details like the textured calfskin leather, navy-grey colour and metal zips (instead of clasps). The refined bit of branding—that embroidered signature of Monsieur Dior—was lifted from a letter Kris Van Assche, the current artistic director, found in the archive. This same low-key luxury will be on display this summer, when the brand opens its first Canadian standalone store in the newly renovated Hotel Vancouver.
