Croc leather bag by Fortnum & Masonhere.
Briefcase by Asprey here.

I was too late! Thanks for sharing that one with us. Hope a board member got it.

Nvrmnd -- don't think the item is as advertised.

Both are nice. I couldn't see myself walking into a meeting with the croc bag but I still like it.

Quirky Artoli's http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vtg-MENS-cream...QQcmdZViewItem# LOL "Gangster" Artoli seem to get a lott of pres in JaP mag's, how are they. Compared to Santoni or Green in quality? Thanks

I just got this bag for GBP 55.00. Too cheap? I wonder if I missed something, that stopped other potential bidders.

Does that refer to "my" item?

No worry. I think the Doc referred to some links he himself had posted and eventually pulled.

I had a look to, but they where not willing to ship out of UK (asked), so I didnt check further. Congrats, do you need shoes with that? Or maybe a umbrella/cane with croc covered handle ... Speed

Bengal, I think it's just that it's a more distinctive item, and most try to be understated with briefcases. You could have a real steal. I don't know who makes Fortnum's stuff, but they do carry some high end items.

I just bought these on a whim - any idea if they're shell (they were listed as such)?

hard to say, but i don't think so. the model number is 902 - the alden 903 and 904 are wingtips in black calf and brown suede. Hampton last, I think.

the corresponding wingtips in shell are the 974 and the 9741 (number 8 and black shell). Tremont last.

I'm not sure what the 902 is, but my guess is that it would be brown calf.

edit: yup, brown calf, according to the shoemart.

Cole Haan commissioned some very nice shoes from Artioli a while ago. These pop up once in a while i.e. http://styleforum.net/showthread.php...aan#post134272 These might also have been Artioli http://styleforum.net/showthread.php...aan#post285436

Thanks, NoVa. At $195, not sure they're worth it to me anymore.
