You’ve probably got a closet full of LBDs, but how’s your stash of SLGs? We love big fans of collecting small leather goods (and other little essentials), and we’ve rounded up a luxe assortment so you can start a collection of your own. Stock up on patent leather wristlets, studded coin purses, embossed tablet sleeves, and perforated wallets with a built-in pouch for your smart phone — splashed with of-the-moment pastels, neons, and classic neutrals.
NYC-based leather accessories company Be & D first made waves in 2004 with the Garbo: a black lambskin satchel, studded with gold hardware, that represents the Harley Davidson of handbags. Founded by designers Be Inthavong and Steve Dumain, the label has remained true to its statement-making roots with designs such as the roomy nixie tote (available in bright yellow or light blue lambskin, cotton, or canvas), the flashy Marvin shoulder bag, studded wallets, and embossed crocodile iPad cases. In 2007 Be & D debuted a footwear line featuring chunky platforms and quirky designs such as Tong Gia Nguyen’s Big City sneakers: canvas high-tops decked out with hand-gilded, 24-karat gold leaf high-heel graphics on each exterior side. Sensible shoes have never been so flashy.
