File this under ‘things we’d never dream of but now want’. We’re as bored of collabs as the next person but we don’t mind when (a) they’re done well and (b) they’re not priced stratospherically. This one ticks both our boxes and could also work well as a belated gift for either sex. The wool also means that it won’t hurt if thrown at you. Present has them.

Planning to break up with a boyfriend but don’t want to do it just yet? Don’t worry, we won’t judge you. Start slow, get him a cheap but nice gift. That way, when you break up with him on the 27th, you’ve still got enough money to go out on New Year’s Eve.  From Calabrese. Oi Polloi has it.

Boiled wool looks to be working for Calabrese for Autumn 2011. Green, purple, and grey (charcoal) are threecolorways available across a short collection. We threw a few looks at horsehair takes against some blacks and cow tracks. Dig in. More to come as we get it. Seen at (capsule) Paris.

We’ve featured a fair amount of Calabrese lately and there’s good reason for that: they pay us bajillions in under the table deals they make good bags. This satchel is a little more work ready than their duffle bags (and a damn sight more comfortable too) so it’s great for the man in who needs a good looking bag for Christmas. Or failing that, for yourself. (Matches)

Garbstore works with Calabrese on a special run of Weekender Bags for the gents (and ladies if they like). They canvas weekenders feature leather lining and leather straps for carrying. You have a few color options to choose from – all of which are excellent. Delivered in a fine carry bag to protect before use.

This travel bag packs a beautifully lined leather interior that shines just as strong as the exterior – but why hide anything? “The Lipari series are somewhat of a Calabrese show piece, expertly produced from the finest materials. This medium sized bag is ideal for day to day use or short trips, with one large compartment and a number of pockets.” End has them.

World, we’re told, exclusive to London boutique No. 6, Calabrese’s Pompeii and Vesuvio bags fit the everyday need of overnight and weekend bags in handsome fashion. Classic shapes and colors are employed, with the signature Calabrese canvas accented with subtle little details – from the offset brown leather tones to the lock and key fastening.

The Pompeii is shown in blue above. Images of the Vesuvio follow.

We’ve got that Friday feeling today, which means (for some inexplicable reason) we’re feeling like showing off a few bags today. We’re gonna start proceedings with this Calabrese overnight bag. The leather on this bag is, as they say on the streets, buttery and the size s perfect for a two nighter (or an extremely well packed overnight stay). [Oi Polloi]

Take a leap to see more shots.

Calabrese have expanded the collection this year, offering everything from backpacks to card holders. Aside from the usual additions – the iPad will have plenty of purdy cover choices come next year – there’s also some great two tone options. They’ll be perfect for the folks who like their accessories to, forgive our use of this awful fashion phrase, pop.

Take a leap to see more of the collection.

An old hand in the luggage department, Italian manufacture Calabrese gets a colorful kick with its special production for Garbstore. Balancing slightly off-kilter (for a traditional bag model) colors with a rather conventional tan, the weekend bags have an almost two worlds identity about them. Canvas with leather trim.

Quite obviously, Garbstore has them.
