Buying into well known and established brands is usually a good sign that you're spending your money on a quality item. But what happens when those products don't match up to their price tags? Stephen Brister found himself faced with that same problem. Over the years Brister experimented with various brands, both well known in the industry and via recommendations, but he was never happy with the quality and construction.
The conclusion was not to keep searching for the perfect wallet but to find a way of producing it by himself, and in 2012 Brister left his job in the city to pursue his passion, founding H&B London. Armed with designs for the perfect wallet buzzing around in his head, he enlisted the expert help of a small leather goods workshop in Bethnal Green, London and set to work.
The resulting product is a work of art. As soon as I opened the box I knew that a H&B wallet was the real deal. A classically designed piece which doesn't compromise on construction; the quality is something I can imagine my Grandad giving the nod of approval to. Designed to fit seamlessly into a jacket or trouser pocket and constructed in the finest Italian leather, I would go so far to say that the British Racing Green Billfold Wallet is by far the most stylish accessory I have ever owned. Currently, H&B stock a small range of leather goods and cufflinks, each piece being hand crafted with care and attention in their London studio.
Stopping off at the local for a pint also seemed like the perfect opportunity to also try out the super comfy UGG Kaldwell boots and this new wool jumper from Reiss. Looks like the classiness is rubbing off!
