Attention shoppers: This batch of bags might - might - have small blemishes, like a tiny dark mark, but nothing in a spot where everybody will immediately see it. This might come from the production process, sampling, shipping etc. BUT to make it worth your while, we knocked off another 20% off the price we were originally given.

This is the smaller twin of your favorite Everyday bag.

Need a bag to carry your daily stuff. Your wallet, your Video iPod, your new Prada sunglasses, your new favorite book - the usual stuff. Well if you even remotely think you can get away with that awful backpack or your girlfriend's tote and think that's going to work, you are definitely on the wrong track.

Tim Johl - descendant of Germany's famous leather dynasty Seeger - and Swiss uber designer Alfredo Haeberli have teamed up to create a series of leather bags and accessories, that defy the ordinary and create something very unique in an otherwise traditional market and their Everyday Bag might just be what you are looking for. The softest leather, the most exquisite craftsmanship and beautiful details (like the subtle green stitching) make this not just visually stunning, but also a masterpiece in terms of functionality. Enough space and internal pockets to hold your devices without being overly bulky or - even worse - geeky. Outside pockets for your magazines or the paperwork you need quick access to and zippered compartments to keep all your goodies away from the outside world. Like any other Colin's product, this too has a turquoise lining that adds a refreshing dash of color to a otherwise understated accessory. A couple words about the quality of the leather: The leather used for the Colin's collection is highest quality Cownapa, that is drum dyed with various oils to create a soft yet durable leather in a process that is similar to the italian tanning process. Through this labour intensive process the leather ends up with a subtle sheen and a wonderful touch that is a pleasure to hold and will keep its shape for many years to come.
