J.Fold is a modern men’s accessory company based in New York. Since 2003 they have been crafting unique wallets and bags using distinct methods and technology. With the use of laser cutters, superior craftsmanship and original designs, J.Fold produce a wide range of styles that complement a variety of personalities.

Pictured is not one of their modern wallets, but their canvas Tote (left). This sturdy bag is big enough for multiple articles and caters to the man on the move. The other is their Vertical Laptop Bag, a refreshing design considering the usual form these bags take, and certainly a great way to protect your precious Mac.

Both models are made from hard wearing wax-soaked canvas that protect your valuables, and give way to a bit of character with use. www.jfold.com

Having worked with Hermès for several years, it is no wonder Isaac Reina’s own venture is experiencing success. In 2006, Reina broke away from his position at Hermès to produce his own line of leather bags and accessories.  He has not looked back since, creating Summer/Winter collections annually.

His focus is on removing pretension and incorporating proportioned design to his editions, principles he believes are frequently forgotten.  Superior materials and exceptional craftsmanship take priority when designing these simplistic pieces. There is a sense of consistency looking through his collection; they all exude quality whilst maintaining a practical use.  The end product signifies his appreciation for fine leather and contemporary design. www.isaacreina.com
