Travel with Moreca Leather Goods

Let us introduce you to Moreca Leather Goods, a high-end company based in Ukraine that makes everything from satchels to lunch bags. The Ukrainian brand designs and sells products that combine a sleek, high-end aesthetic and an old-world handcrafted sensibility.

Their products are simple and dominated by clean lines. The Bifold Noir, for instance, has a compartment for your cash, two credit card slots—that fit up to eight cards for all you high rollers—and two brass buttons to secure the wallet shut.

But Moreca’s goods riff on the tradition of clean and simple design by adding unexpected twists. The Noir is asymmetrical, creating a cliffside effect when closed and a mountain silhouette when open. The teeter-totter effect of the criss-crossing card slot lines makes the wallet feel playful, taking what could be a run-of-the-mill product and making it visually appealing. All of Moreca’s products, in fact, are like geometric poetry.

The premium black chrome tanned leather will only get better with age—developing a deep patina over time, making it the perfect gift for your future grandson. The high level of quality and craftsmanship spans their entire collection.

Moreca also offers laptop pouches to protect your tech, fly pouches (which are perfect for travel—you’ll never again have to worry about losing your passport) and an everyday-use pouch, which could be the answer to organizing your messy attaché.

The company, founded in 2009 and based in Kiev, is spearheaded by two brothers: Anton and Oleg Duma. Born to a family of aviators, no wonder the designs these brothers come up with seem like travel essentials.

Another product that caught our eye? The lunch bag. A simple fold-over bag made from rich black leather. Now you can brown bag it every day in style.

No matter your preferred style, there’s no shortage of shoe materials for your next pair. In recent seasons, there’s no doubt that the trendiest styles have come from canvas and leather materials. Even though both are taking over the shoe market, they carry vastly different characteristics that can make or break your look and comfort.

There is just something undeniably cool about a leather jacket.

Of course, I never could get my hands on a Mustang. Still, I absolutely wouldn't miss any opportunity to don a leather jacket and make it look a fraction as cool as James Dean, Indiana Jones, or any of the slews of Hollywood superstars I've watched over the years.

There's one aspect of owning a leather jacket that's essential to know: Learning how to clean a leather jacket will keep your jacket looking great long enough for your grandchildren to wear it as well.

Following their first collaboration in 2024, Reebok and White Mountaineering are reuniting for another stellar partnership. Along with the Japanese label, Reebok is taking on their famed Classic Leather for a remix that gives it a retro update with plenty of techy finishes. Far from their minimalist and subdued first partnership, this new collaborative sneaker takes a new spin with stylish details that elevate an iconic silhouette. The latest collaboration in two new neutral shades is another example of how the retro sneaker trend has continued flourishing and doesn’t seem to have an end date. Showcasing their “Unplugged” campaign, the duo’s new release is about being intentional with your time and style choices.

“Our brand is often associated with active scenes, but this time, we wanted to show how our collaboration shoes fit a more relaxed environment,” says White Mountaineering founder Yosuke Aizawa. “The soft mood of the campaign perfectly complements the color palette of the shoes.” Crafted in brown or grey shades, the WM x Reebok Classic Leather shoe uses an upper composed of a premium leather, suede, and nubuck mix. Contrasting trims around the design give the shoe an extra touch of dimension and style, along with the texturized materials that compose the sneaker. Complete with a custom co-branded tongue label, branding wordmark on the heel, and a custom footbed, this design represents the specialness of the collaboration. Further sneaker details include terry lining, tonal laces, and a custom branded shoe box. Set for an April 11 release, the remixed Classic Leather will be available for $190 on the White Mountaineering and Reebok web stores.
