N'East Style has quickly become one of our favorite New England blogs. At its helm is Christine Mitchell, a New England girl who appreciates the rich history of the region and proves that 'New England style' isn't an oxymoron.
She recently conducted a Q & A with Joe Lotuff and posted the interview on her blog. Head over to N'East Style and read it here!
Montreal blogger Marcus Troy has been getting some much deserved acclaim lately. In January, the New York Times called him one of top five young male bloggers making waves across men's fashion.
He gave our Small Duffle a try and took some beautiful pictures of it along the way:

We were delighted to recently welcome Daily Prep blogger Muffy Aldrich into our shop so she could see her own Signature Handbag being made.
Muffy blogged about her visit and about Lotuff Leather's mission in a very elegantly (a word that describes the lady herself) written post:
"Together, they are creating, taking on, and leading previously ceded market segments (and employing our neighbors in the process). This export of taste and values and even sanity is the true tale worth chronicling."
Of course, Muffy also fell in love with her bag.
A few weeks after her visit, Muffy took her bag for a spin around the historic streets surrounding Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

Our friend Christian Chensvold, the blogosphere's arbiter of trad/Ivy League style, was recently profiled in the popular Japanese magazine Free and Easy. The magazine documented a few days in Christian's life, as manifested in his sartorial selections.
Our Zip Top Briefcase graced Christian's list as one of his 'On Style' goods - what he uses as he darts about New York City in his editorial job at Quest Magazine:

We live each day by borrowing just a bit from the past. This philosophy is reflected in what we do: the purpose of our brand, the inspiration for every design, and the execution of each well-crafted leather good.
The guys over at Valet Magazine recognize this appreciation for the past, and recently featured our English Briefcase in a post on the Satchel. "There are two kinds of expensive items one should splurge on: timeless pieces that look good with everything in your wardrobe, and well-made stuff that last forever. A leather satchel is both," they write. "Lotuff's double-gusseted style is ideal for gents with a lot on their plate."

We had a great time meeting Matt Repicky at The Lowell Hotel in New York City a few weeks ago.
After our chat, we let him try our Leather Lock Briefcase out for a few days to review for his blog Men's Threads. Matt loved it so much that he decided to buy it. We hope it brings you many years of use, Matt!

Dan Trepanier, also known as the Style Blogger, hit the parks of New York City recently for a photographic and sartorial embrace of Autumn. He took our Signature Duffle along with him. Happy Fall, Dan!
Our friend Derek, who runs the fantastic blog Die, Workwear!, recently highlighted the process we go through in selecting and cutting our leather that distinguishes our goods from others.
If you haven't seen our newly redesigned leather page that examines all the hidden intricacies of the leather process, check it out here.
Around here, reading the Sunday New York Times is a tradition that will never grow old.
What an even greater experience it was this past Sunday to see our Leather Duffle featured in the Men's Fall Fashion edition of T Magazine, the Style arm of the Gray Lady.
Bruce Pask, T's men's fashion director, considers the Duffle one of the best "manly bags for the weekend warrior."
