James Andrew and Hildestahl Medium III Bag - photo Gabriel Everett
When I saw the Hildestahl Medium III bag I, of course, simply had to have it. It’s the most perfectly useful and stylish every-day bag that one could ever want—and, AND, yes, in this fantastic shade of purple!
Now, you might think a man’s handbag in purple would be a bit over the top, but I can tell you, (and I know a bit about his sort of thing), purple is a hugely versatile color that works well with practically any combination. Gentlemen, do be bold! Wear the colors that you want, whatever they may be!
As far as securing YOUR purple Hildestahl, it is in quite a limited edition of 5, and now that I have one of them, well, you can do the math. So be quick about it.
I’m photographed here by the very talented photographer Gabriel Everett, sporting my marvelous Medium III Hildestahl bag in purple, dusty gray blue suede motorcycle jacket and grey cashmere turtleneck sweater both Tom Ford era Gucci, Etro wool challis scarf, Uniglo slim dark denim jeans, vintage Rolex oyster perpetual in stainless steel, Gucci black suede loafers (not shown), Dior sunglasses and my fragrance is Creed Himalaya.

James - Darling I don’t know. Despite the fact the toute monde loves this bag - I’m not so sure. Bag and shoes and gloves should have the same colour. And you don’t want to walk around in red shoes. Do you? Hildenstahl sounds to me like a nuclear power station somewhere in the Rhine valley.
WOW! Francois..how about a BIG step outside the box and in to the world of fashion and good taste…
Fantastic. I love to see the bag on you arm! I know you would think up so many interesting combinations with this color.
Great to see all the comments as well.
Cheers / Jens
Francois must have lost his marble or perhaps is just not a risk taker. I do have red shoes, I also have purple velvet slippers.. Contrary to Francois, I admire that you wear clothes, they don’t wear you! Looking fabulous as ever : )
Cheers to marbles and looking insanely great !

Dear James,
So many thanks for the information regarding the Hildestahl bag. I checked the website and I absolutely love them all. I had just acquired a black Armani one from Bergdorf for the gym and now I want to have the Honey Gold Laholm as well. I had never heard of Hildestahl and so many thanks for having featured it. I think it will be such a great item to go into my modest Jaguar on my way to David Barton Gym! Happy (belated) 2012!

Dear CD,
Thank You!
That is tremendous!
I like the idea that these Hildestahl bags are very special and limited and not everyone will be sporting the same bag.
I am sure you will stand out in a crowd!
Cheers
