Denim is the Nicolas Cage of the fashion world: dependable, durable, sometimes terrible, largely considered low-brow, yet we keep coming back to it again and again. Now that I've stretched that crap analogy as far as it can go ... here's the Jon Weekender Bagfrom Nudie Jeans!
Nudie Jeans — not to be confused with the country & western tailored Nudie Suits — is a Swedish brand with some cool cultural cache: they make products that don't suck, and they make products that are organically sourced and manufactured.
While we might not necessarily be flocking to buy their denim kilt for $500 (maybe we will, who's to judge what kind of bars we hang out at?) we will be making our way towards their Jon Weekender bag which boasts some light (but extremely durable) Turkish denim and some fancy leather to round out the package.
At $799, the Jon Weekender (which totally sounds like it could be the protagonist in a Vonnegut novel, don't it?) isn't cheap but it's worth every penny if you're looking to hit the gym in style or go on that weekend trip and look fashion-forward at the same time. Trust me, I've seen it in person. It's sexy as hell. And besides, you wouldn't guess it if you lived on the East coast right now, but it's goddamn spring, and you better shift your bag game into a higher gear if you want to look good in the next couple of months.
