Gladstone London’s new range remembers when The City was stylish

In the sea of bustling businessman that flood London’s historic streets, Gladstone London’s Neo-Vintage Business Collection will mark the distinguished gentleman among the masses in fine, classic style…

Artisanal excellence

A fresh take on timeless designs from an era when the London businessman defined elegance and sophistication, this briefcase and portfolio are everything we’ve come to expect from Gladstone London, and more. Of course, each piece is handcrafted, but for the Neo-Vintage Business Collection, a particularly special leather was discovered and liberated from a darkened warehouse near Lake Como, Italy. Lying dormant for 30 years in this most favourable of climates has given the leather a unique, natural patina, and due to the scarcity of the material, just 20 pieces of each design will be available. Embellishing this most luxurious of leathers is a diamond-cut pewter lock, handcrafted by a Florence jeweller, and both designs are lined with Alcantara. The portfolio offers room for a 15-inch laptop and boasts multiple inner pockets and a slip outer pocket, while the briefcase’s double-gusset design provides ample internal storage. These new pieces from Gladstone aren’t only a perfect marriage of form and function but they’re also an authentic reinterpretation of the dashing designs of old…
