Wolecraft 7

While most luxury Italian leather bags have a tendency of running buyers in the thousands of dollars, a startup out of Milan, Italy, just debuted a fresh line of leather goods that feature equal parts function, style, and affordability. Meet Wolecraft, an honest to goodness new company geared toward manufacturing and designing leather goods which deftly shed the label of “traditional.” Boasting four different variations, Wolecraft took its new product line to Kickstarter to raise enough funding to bring its innovative designs to a wider audience.

Specifically, the company looks to crowdfund a leather backpack, leather weekender, a suede leather carryall, and a leather pouch. Though each tout a list of features unique to themselves, the leather backpack delivers a unique kind of flexibility not typically seen in relative models. While it dons the moniker of a “backpack,” Wolecraft designed the piece to also function as a messenger bag or handbag, depending on how owner folds it or straps it. Furthermore, the versatility does nothing to take away from the backpack’s gorgeous aesthetic.

While the backpack features an innovative design, the other Wolecraft products also impress. Concerning the weekender, the brand first created a bag big enough to fit a short adventure’s essentials and also included two detachable, twill cotton and leather-lined pockets capable of stowing a laptop or other small items. Couple these with a Herringbone cotton arm strap and Wolecraft’s weekend is both a classy and functional travel bag.

Rounding out the collection is Wolecraft’s leather suede carryall designed to hold notebooks, passports, wallets, charge cables, etc. The perfect travel companion — or accessory addition to either the backpack or weekender — the carryall is large enough to carry a host of small necessities. For larger items, or for anyone looking for a classy way to transport their iPad, Wolecraft’s Italian vegetable tanned leather pouch is the way to go.

Available in light or dark brown, as well as black — across most all the brand’s offerings — Wolecraft’s lineup achieves the task of making quality Italian leather goods an affordable option for anyone. Each option is currently available via Kickstarter, where the campaign plans to run for a total of 30 days.

Smell your best with these great fragrances
A person spraying cologne on themselves.

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. That is why we dress nicely. That is why we groom ourselves expertly. And that is why you need to have a great cologne. You never know who you are going to meet, and you don't want to be caught in anything other than your best. You may be forgiven if your hair is a little long when you are on the trail. You may be forgiven for having a five o'clock shadow on Saturday afternoon. And you may not be punished for wearing jeans and a T-shirt at the movie theater. However, you will always be judged for not smelling good. That is why you need to invest in the best men's colognes.

Having a pleasant fragrance is more than smelling pleasant for those around you. It also attracts people to you and shows that you care about your hygiene. People will respond better and remember you fondly if your smell lingers. It is the most powerful scent tied to memory, so make sure you are remembered in 2024 with these top picks for colognes for men. We didn't go with all the big boys in the men's cologne industry. You will see one name that nearly everyone knows. But, we stuck more with the ones that you all should know. There is no Dior, no Polo, and no Gucci on this list. We didn't go for names. We went for quality fragrances and picks that will keep you remembered long after you leave.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

Rolex has introduced a new, super-expensive watch covered in diamonds. What's new? Well, while we're used to this, and it doesn't exactly warrant front-page news, this introduction actually does. This new chapter for the brand unveils two new additions to the Rolex Daytona collection, and they're certainly more opulent in a subtle way compared to previous designs.
Rolex Daytona: Two new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watches added to the collection

These new Rolex watches, which are part of the Cosmograph Daytona collection, are diamond-set models adorned with mother-of-pearl dials. Hearing about any Rolex watch covered in diamonds automatically evokes fantasies of extravagance and wealth, at least it does for us, but these new timepieces are remarkably restrained when it comes to a balance between bling and subtlety.
