Fade of the Day – Vermilyea Pelle Briefcase (2 Years, 7 Months)

Careful: today’s post is so hot it might just be NSFW. For today’sFade of the Day, Liang Lim of Singapore gives us a breather from denim with his stunning Vermilyea Pelle Briefcase.

Liang has had this briefcase for two and a half years and uses it on the daily. Theleather details have developed a rich dark brownpatina. The black paint on the brass has begun to scratch off, revealing the original bronze color. And let us not forget the tan canvas which has matured impressively not only lightening up but showing interesting textures.

Maybe the greatest aspect of this workhorse of a bag is, it will only get better with age, and judging by the quality, that means decades of use.
