GEAR | Billy Kirk's No. 124
Despite all the bag coverage on this blog, it's actually pretty rare that we talk about clutches. Then I saw Billy Kirk's No. 124 Large Leather Clutch ($218), and it just looked like the perfect Autumn bag that could be used morning, noon, and night. The only question is: What color?

I try to strike a balance between pursuing the style in material form, understanding it in a historical context, and highlighting the tomboy spirit. There have been a few posts lately that are about purchasing items (and I really care about featuring companies that are thoughtful in their process or small), but there have also been in the past weeks: a Q&A with a record label owner and a pro surfer, archival TV and film photos, a post about the idea of wearing in classics instead of buying new items, a tour of the Fender guitar factory, etc. There are bound to be weeks that are more shopping-heavy, but thanks for pointing that out. It's my goal to strike a balance and I appreciate your feedback.
I'm happy to see you highlight another thoughtful maker who seems interested in the idea of heirloom quality.
