You’re not going to go far wrong with these two. Norse Projects and Ally Capellino continue their accessories partnership. The Fjell rucksack, originally available in canvas, returns in nylon and all the good looks of its older brother. “The tough, water resistant nylon exterior acknowledges the fundamental demand for a hard-wearing rucksack and is united with a suede base and classic ‘Ally’ leather straps. Inside, there is a padded 15″ laptop compartment secured by a velcro strap.” Two top brands combining their sizeable design skills. Yep, Good stuff. In stores today and online next week

New soft leathers and heavy canvas are in order from the U.K.’s Ally Capellino for Autumn/Winter 2012. The soft leather satchels in blue are choice as are the chocolate waxed cotton looks. Be sure to also discover the woven shoe lace work on pulls found on the canvas Don bag. Overall, for those looking for a strong alternative to their local offerings, consider Ally Capellino.

Another smart offering from Ally Capellino. The Richard satchel bag forms part of their ‘Conservative group’, nothing to do with the tories we assure you. This collection is a more refined, fancy pants selection of bags, or as Capellino describes them, “elegant investment bags in Italian veg tanned leather with contrasting bridle leather straps. Bags that age and soften beautifully, only improving with wear.” Contrast buckles, detachable cross body strap, top handle, constructed of veg tanned leather and Made in London. Find Richard over here.

Part of Ally’s new luggage range, Johnson is an Italian vegetable tanned leather, waterproof lined travel bag. Sam Browne fittings and gold embossed cockerel logo taken from Ally’s 80s collections, this smart little bag seems too good to hide away in your suitcase. Please don’t take this as a call to wear it as a clutch purse though. Available from Ally Capellino.

Oh, you thought we were done with Pitti? Well, errr, we’re not. So there. Here’s a look at some choice models from Ally Capellino’s newest collection. We also caught with Ally herself for a quick Q&A, which you can read after the leap.

The bag fetish continues with this Ally Capellino bag. Our love for Ally Cap’s bags (or AC the bag gawd, as she’s more commonly known) continues with this overnighter. It’s perfect for that the overhead compartment or, if you’re having a staycation, it’ll look pretty good in your car boot. Not that anyone will see it there, but you’ll know – and that’s the most important thing. (Coggles)

We’ve showcased these in the tradeshow rush, but this is the first time we’ve seen them in stores. We’d like to roll out the hyperbole but what can we say? It’s a nice wallet and it’s a nice change from the zip around wallet, which can still look a bit infantile next to a folding number. And that’s all there is to it. (ideology)

The duffle is a bag style that’s been having a comeback for a while now, here’s an Ally Capellino version. Duffle bags are always a tough choice to wear because you can’t really put to much in the bag unless you like the rope digging into your shoulders non stop. So you’re usually left with a bag that’s huge and a bit empty. Or you could just ‘man up’ and take the pain, if you’re into that sort of thing. (Norse)

It’s been a while since we’ve featured some Ally Capellino stuff to buy, but this bag is too handsome to ignore. It’s perfectly sized for an overhead plane compartment too, which should please those frequent (and not-so-frequent) flyers out there. It’s not cheap, but we’re sure you know the drill about investments by now. (Ally Capellino)
