From our studio in sunny (and still very warm) South Florida we are celebrating Autumn by incorporating the classic look of menswear (houndstooth, tartan plaid, leather, suede and leopard print) into some very sharp Leather & Wool totes.

Yes it's autumn and we are may be feeling a bit melancholy, we know we are missing the crispness in the air, the leaves changing colors while drinking a Pumpkin Spice latte and the ability to wear some very sharp menswear fashion.  So with Pumpkin Spice latte in hand, we will continue to sew on in our shorts and flip flops. 

The date on the calendar reminds us that it's officially Autumn, and while the coolness in temperature begins to settle in most places, the sun is still shining warmly in South Florida.

So as we welcome in Autumn, we thought we would share the progress of one of our totes from the Leather & Wool collection featuring some fabulous Menswear Fall 2013 fabrics including Houndstooth, Tartan Plaids, Checked Wool and Canvas Leopard. 

We found a beautiful leather suede hide in a Burnt Orange which matched a checkered wool fabric.  The orange suede picks up the orange hues in the wool fabric.  A light brown stain added to the leather straps along with a zippered closure will make this tote perfect for the Fall...

...and work continues in the warm morning sunshine.
