Historics of Style

From the article: " I don't know about you but i'm getting a little tired of the 'man bag', men using their shoulders to support their bags whatever happened to doctor bags, briefcases and holdalls men using pure strength to carry belongings! Which brings me in a round about way to the actual point of this post i'm bored of the man bag and want to see men carrying something a bit more stylish like a british made, leather covered holdall with a snap-shut lock and ingenious newspaper/umbrella loop on it's rear, to specific i hear you cry, but no Holdall &Co have heard my prayers.  Since 2012 they have been crafting stylish under arm folio bags, which you can now buy in two sizes and...
