London-based brand Several have recently received a selection of beautiful English-made belts, featuring a series of brass and nickel buckles. There are eight versions in total, seven in classic shades of smooth bridle leather and one in a rich tobacco suede. Combining simple styling with high-quality materials and construction, they're everything a good belt should be in a market filled with options that frequently fall short.

One of my favourite retailers is Several, the London-based shop that also produces an in-house clothing line. Earlier in the season they expanded their reach to include an edited selection of items at one of the capital's best known department stores, Selfridges. It’s great to see the brand's continued growth, as they offer some truly classic, understated menswear and I can’t wait to see what they have planned for seasons to come.

Words

Several has recently received a trilogy of photo books by the American photographer, Mike Slack, that feature his beautiful treatment of the Polaroid format. Initially thought of as more of a novelty camera, it was not the most highly regarded medium for creating artistic imagery. Slack's work, however, transcends this notion, making it irrelevant that his photographs were composed on such basic equipment.

—01. Made in USA.

Made with ripstop nylon, the Frame Bag is designed by Konstantin Grcic for Maharam. The deep indigo colour gives the bag a dark, minimal look allowing the details of the lattice frame structure to be the focal point. The large, self-lined holdall style also features a useful interior pocket and a durable vinyl base.
