We take a look at Spring Summer from Hasso. Based in Bogota, Columbia, the line has been going strong for three years. Nicholas Hurtado and Andrés Niño  “wanted a label with a strong focus on design, top quality materials and accurate craftsmanship”. Ipad cases, totes, messenger bags and backpacks, they describe “We create sophisticated, cleverly designed and refined products, yet durable and convenient for the present urban needs. All of our products are remarkably crafted by master artisans in Bogotá, Colombia.” The Significant Other tells us more.

iPads require a lot of putting in and taking out of a case. If this is an action you often find yourself doing in public then I guess buying yourself a fancy case just makes good sense. This one from Steve Mono is very simple and as a result, very stylish. The blue calf leather is a pretty spot on shade and the envelope design is right up our street. Far Fetch has it.

Smythson’s croc-skin iPad case will not break the bank as hard as one would suspect. At $375 it is far less than other luxury iPad cases but still above the mark for many. Break-in will show that this case will last some time. Mr. Porter has it.

If want the look of a man carrying parchment in a leather satchel, while actually holding an iPad or other tablet, consider the V Ave. Shoe Repair leather cover (or bag as they put it).  You could use it for parchment or any other ephemera you have lying around. They won’t mind at all. Sets you back around $140. Choose between natural and black Italian Italian vachetta leather.

British designer and king of noir Gareth Pugh isn’t a designer we’d describe as accessible. More theatrical than your average label, he’s generally one for the hardcore ‘Fashion’ crew. However, his accessories do offer some more sedate options. We like this Ipad case, geometric lines taken form his Autumn Winter ‘Tessellating’ print, this one is constructed from soft padded protective leather and features gold hardware and a handy wrist strap. Oki-ni has it.

Made in collaboration with GQ – to be specific, it was created for the launch of their iPad app – it’s the usual handsome leather goodness we’ve come to expect. They can also be hand personalised, which is an added bonus for inscription addicts. And yes, there is such a thing as an inscription addict. They’re not out yet, but you can register your interest over at the H by Harris site. (HbyHarris)
