Seat Barrel Bag, $132
Doobie Tube, $28
By Walnut, walnutstudiolo.com.
The stylish leather back-of-seat cylinder bag was inspired by the brandy barrels carried by St. Bernard mountain dogs in the Swiss Alps. Surely a design concept this esoteric wouldn't be complete without hand-stitched details featuring "waxed sailmaker's thread on highest quality American vegetable-tanned leather." And for perhaps the most precious cargo you'll transport in your Seat Barrel Bag, the folks at Walnut have produced another elegant adornment you never knew you needed. Their leather and brass "Doobie Tube" spares your joints the embarrassment of public nudity.
