I’ve never been a fan of designer logo bags, often prefering something more anonymous but still forward in it’s design and of course exceptionally well made. The timeless bags by San Francisco’s Basil Racuk are chicly sublime, gorgeous in their execution and beyond versatile. Racuk first gained attention in the ’90s for the forwardness of his men’s collection, carried by Barneys New York and many other retailers. His collection of highly functional, tailor-made bags, belt, and small goods, created from rich, full-grain deerskins and cowhides features fine interior linings and custom hardware can be found at http://www.basilracuk.com .
