Property Of... at MartinPatrick3

I would like to think that as an accessory store, we at martinpatrick3 know a good bag when we see it.  The problem is that there are a lot of really good bags out there.  As in, too many lines where we see them and say, "This is perfect!" only to find another exceptionally similar line in the next row of vendor booths.  The general indication that a line of bags is one for our store is one that is unique enough to not have itself replicated in three different places on the trade show floor.  One of the brands we've found that fits those criteria is Property Of...

Now, you may be thinking Canvas Bags?  For Fall? Surely you jest!  I can assure you, these canvas bags are not of the feathery light summer variety.  The tight sturdy weave of the canvas is compounded by the waxcloth treatment - not too oily, but enough to provide some protection from elements and the other things in your trunk.  Most of the bags also have a leather base.  Not just little decorative patches mind you - big heavy, so thick it doesn't roll up very well leather bases.  These bags just feel like they were designed for more than one can possibly use them for.  They have a throw-it-in-the-back-of-the-truck feel that really can't be appreciated until you have a pressing need to not worry about your bag.  Property Of... are up for an adventure, it's just up to you to decide what that will be.

And don't the cows just love it!

One thing we've noticed here is that with the great saturation of standard layout horizontal laptop and messenger bags, there has been a pretty decent demand for a cool vertical style bag that maintains a high volume. Previously, all of our vertical bags had been of the light traveling minimalist variety, but I think we now have an alternative. This week we just got in a cool new bag from mp3 stalwarts Malcolm Fontier. It is an updated version of their lighter Entertainer bag, with a new compartment on the back, a cool wallet detail under the flap and a linen canvas lining (so your documents don't get sweaty). It still retains all the standard Fontier features like coated canvas body construction, multi-position magnetic closure and overall vegan-ness (that leather trim? not real). We also received some of their wallets in new colorways in extremely supple vegan leather.$245
