If you're taking advantage of the Bank Holidays coming up to head off to the countryside for a relaxing long weekend, here are the must-have leather accessories to keep you looking stylish.
1. A stylish leather holdall
While wheeled suitcases may be ideal for city breaks as they're easy to manoeuvre around airports and train stations, a stylish leather holdall is the best luggage solution for a weekend in the country. Typically you'll need a car to travel to your countryside retreat and many country hotels have gravel driveways making pulling a suitcase difficult. Moreover, you won't need to take a lot of clothes if you're only staying for 2 nights and a holdall is the perfect size for everything you need. Don't forget that a leather holdall is not merely a piece of luggage, it's a stylish accessory that can compliment your entire look, allowing you to arrive in style at your holiday destination.
Check out the range of luxury leather holdalls from the Hansson Texas Collection is handcrafted from Italian bull leather. We like the ones that feature side poppers, allowing you to expand the bag if necessary and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap.
For those fashionistas out there, why not opt for a beautiful Gladstone bag? The vintage, structured silhouette of the doctor's bag was a key shape at Paris Fashion Week in March, heavily featured in presentations by Loewe and Celine in particular.
Also check out the new range from Ashwood Leather - made lovely full grain vegetable tanned cowhide - holdalls with some nice new designs and styles.
2. A cross body day bag
While out and about you're going to need a small day bag to keep all your little essentials in and a cross body bag is the easiest and most comfortable style to carry. While something modern and sleek is great for the city, for a country weekend you'll need a cross body bag with a rustic, vintage-inspired look.
A stylish cross body bag from the Rowallan of Scotland Clifton Collection maybe - made from vegetable tanned cowhide leather, has lots of little pockets and pouches for all your bits and pieces and features an adjustable strap for comfort.
3. An Australian Bush Hat
One of princess-to-be Kate Middleton's most iconic hats to date, the Australian leather bush hat has become a must for casual, country style.
Pair your Australian leather bush hat with jeans, a suede leather jacket and knee high boots to look stylish while out for a country walk or attending a horse show or game fair. Leather bush hats are great for keeping the sun off your face and your hair in place on a windy day. They're also really comfortable to wear too.
There are lots of different brands of Australian leather bush hats on the market but the best ones are made by Barmah. Barmah hats are made from genuine Australian cattle hide, are fully waterproof and will protect you up to 50 UV (not that you'll ever come across that kind of light intensity in the British countryside!). The best thing about Barmah hats is that they are lightweight and easy to store. They fold down into their own accompanying canvas bag making them ideal for travelling.
