Those looking for reliable, quality travel accessories must check out Italian label Piquadro’s range of professional leather goods. Its first standalone boutique here stocks the signature handcrafted Sartoria collection (the name says it all)—individually numbered computer briefcases with internal iPad and notepad carriers (from $1,520) are made by hand using the fine art of saddlery, handed down over the generations. The inked edges and the visible stitching with waxed thread characterizing these products pay tribute to Italy’s centuries-old manufacturing skills, and they’re a sight to behold. Elsewhere, the more affordable Fall/Winter 2011 collection, consists of seven lines including Shimmer, fashionable functional leather-only travel luggage for the ladies (from $800). The collections are versatile, elegant and subtly trendy.
