Hard Graft: Sleek Utility Accesories

Created back in 2006, Hard Graft produces handmade accessories using a signature combination of premium wool felt and Italian cow leather. Each and every piece from Hard Graft is unique and exudes a sense of raw, logical design. We adore the details of utility, whilst maintaining the appearance of sleekness. Our favourite pieces are below: 


 #1 is the 3 Fold Heritage Weekend bag. We love the light brown vegetabled tanned leather and the fact that every handle and rivet is reinforced from the inside. The multi-fold design is something we adore, and strongly suggest having a look on http://www.hardgraft.com/ for a look at the other ways to use the bag. At £492, it's not cheap but not too painful to purchase for a hell of a lot of craftsmenship.

At #2 we have the Laptop Bag. This £325 slim and versatile piece is perfect for the tech-savvy on-the-go gentleman. The shoulder strap is perfectly practical and the top handle provides a level of formality to the bag.

#3 This case is priced at £82 and accommodates your Macbook or iPad. An incredibly reasonable price, as the leather slip-pocket at the front can fit your phone, wallet and any other paraphernalia you carry.


#4  is an iPad case that we love. The deep grey wool and earthy smooth brown leather work wonders together.
