Continuing with our series of Hidesign travel bags, today we bring to you the supremely stylish holdall – Kingsley 03. It is thoughtfully made for the man of class. I almost wanted to take off on a vacation with my husband just for the sake of flaunting this bag! Oh well – talking about vacations on a Monday is very ironic!
As I approached the Kingsley 03 in the showroom, the most enticing aspect apart from the structure was the heady aroma of leather (sorry if some of you are repulsed by it) – every Hidesign bag has this characteristic, but this duffle is larger and hence the whiff is that much more. Storage-wise it is everything a duffle should be, with a large central section, zipped pockets – a smaller one within the central compartment, a long pocket at the back and a long pouch in the front with a flap opening that also has a lock to it. It also has a long cross-body strap. The top handles are of flat leather. A dust bag is also included. The one I checked out in the store was a light brown color, but the Kingsley also comes in a dark brown version.
It might interest you to know that Fabian Lintott is the designer behind this sophisticated hold-all. Fabian is a long-timer at Hidesign, having started in 2006 and has given a face-lift to the men’s accessories range as its lead men’s designer. To make it more interesting, Akshay Kumar carried the Kingsley in the May ’12 issue of Hi-Blitz magazine. He does complete justice to this bag carrying it in his inimitable style!
