When you get a decent job it's time to ditch the backpack for a grown up alternative; this usually involves a trip to Mulberry.
If you know what's what it will involve a trip to Swaine & Adeney of No.54 St James St, London.
Swaine Adeney Brigg (Brigg is the Umbrella division), is a much lauded leather and equestrian specialist in business since 1750. The firm has held a Royal Warrant since 1893 for Umbrellas and for leather travel goods.
Milliner Herbert Johnson, who gained fame by providing Harrison Ford with his iconic headwear for the Indiana Jones trilogy, joined the company and has a selection of his creations available on the ground floor. Harrison Ford wore a modified 'Poet Hat' in Sable for his role as Indiana Jones.
The store is steeped in tradition, the craftsmanship is second to none. You shop here simply because you can, not because you're trying to impress your friends.
