Bill Amberg designs totes for the traveller
Imran Amed, founder and editor of the website The Business of Fashion, has teamed up with the UK leather craftsman Bill Amberg to create a new line of unisex totes designed with the globetrotting fashion follower in mind.
The collection, introduced on the website recently after a year in development, was born out of Mr Amed’s own pursuit of a bag that would take him from the gym in the morning to a night out covering the latest store opening or fashion show.
“I learned a lot about all the steps it takes to develop and produce something working on this bag with Bill,” Mr Amed says. “One of the things I discovered is I had to learn how to compromise, that you can’t have everything if you want to keep the bag affordable and manageable.”
The bag, called Calgary, is gadget-friendly as it is padded with Neoprene to protect the owner’s devices and has pockets cut just the right size to hold iPads, iPhones and BlackBerrys.
