    Customize Your Own Gentlemen's League Bags!

    Pauline Montupet on Jul 23, 2009 4:22 PM PDT
    There is rarely an "it" bag that gets my interest up. I usually prefer tried and true classics or something a little off kilter and unique. Maybe that's why I find the bags by the gentlemen's league so intriguing; they are the polar opposite of an "it" bag. The two gentlemen's league masterminds, Adam Razak and Seth Stevens, personally create each bag. The designers hold private one-on-one consultations where you can co-create a piece of original art in which you can carry your daily essentials! Starting with a utilitarian Mason bag, the design is then realized with indelible ink on the canvas. You choose the leather color and the size and then let them pick your brain. Once they have an idea of who you are (or what animal you are) and what you want, the designing begins. Then voila! Within a few weeks you have your own piece of art! The line has been a bespoke company, focused on custom orders, but now limited editions are available at New York boutique Debut. At over $2,000 a pop, I better start my gentlemen's league fund now! Check out the slideshow to see some previous designs and get your own at gentlemensleague.com!

    Let's not kid ourselves...not every piece of vintage clothing we see is totally unique. When you've been buying and wearing vintage clothing as long as I have, you occasionally find yourself shopping the thrifts or online sites and seeing something very familiar. It takes just a moment and then you realize you either have the exact same item in your own closet or you've sold it in the past. And I'm always surprised how frequently this actually happens. So that's why I'm a complete sucker for any hand-painted vintage pieces--each one is totally unique. And there's something very special about wearing a custom-made piece that exhibits someone's artistry. Just click the slide-show to see some amazing hand-painted vintage selections.
