Hard Graft Layover Holdall

The guys at Hard Graft are one of the first brands we wrote about on The Coolector many moons ago and it’s a delight to see them go from strength to strength over the last few years. They’ve really set themselves apart in the accessories market and offer some of the most luxurious bags, wallets, apparel and accessories anywhere out there. Their latest release to have captured our attention here at The Coolector is this devilishly dapper Layover Holdall in a muted and stealthy Coal colourway.

The Hard Graft Layover Holdall in Coal has a price tag of £1095 and it will become your main choice for adventures big and small courtesy of its robust, hard-wearing design and the fact it possesses an impressive amount of storage space within. Infinitely classy and stylish, this majestic looking accessory from Hard Graft is undoubtedly one of their most visually impressive releases to date and if you demand a heritage quality from your accessories that you can pass from one generation to the next, this Layover Holdall is definitely for you.

ALL ABOUT THE ADVENTURE

Life is a journey and all about seeking out new experiences and adventures. It’s not a direct path from start to end. It’s often confusing and on the fly with the most thrilling times usually coming from unexpected layovers. Seemingly unnecessary diversions at first can sometimes turn into journeys and the most treasured times. For the design of the Layover Holdall, Hard Graft could have just sewn the strap and bits and pieces onto the leather, but that would have been only a fraction as interesting.

As such, they decided to create an accessory with real depth. By cutting out and leaving out. Depth. Layers. Leather over leather, crucial leather details underneath. A layover adding a surprising and unusual depth to your journey which is designed to make these experiences more rewarding and enjoyable. The Hard Graft Layover Holdall (£1095) is a generously sized bag that measures some 45 x 30 x 25 cm / 17.7″x 11.8″x 9.8″ and closes with a premium metal zip that opens to 60cm and the max height of the bag is 35cm – which is more than enough space to fit in all your gear for a short break or weekend adventure.

Don’t even get us started on the quality of the materials used in the making of the Hard Graft Layover Holdall. Needless to say, they are second to none. Premium vegetable tanned Italian leather is the star of the show and adds a tangible touch of class to proceedings. The sumptuously stylish accessory is lined with dark grey wool and finished off with an impressive amount of vegetable-tan leather detailing. Everything is made in Italy – from the materials to the main act. An adventure essential if ever there was one.
