reflecting the clean design aesthetic of the 1960’s, ‘business is pleasure’ by japanese designer le vero uses a vintage ‘royal’ typewriter to personalize each item in the collection. the business accessories are intended to help connect people during a first meeting through the paired back design and customized nature. the recycled typewriter adds a personal touch, these machines were once a colorful and elegant centerpiece of every desk, and have now been replaced by computers. built from strong japanese canvas, 100% wool and cowhide leather, the products also use metal hardware rather than plastic found on many computer bags. extra padding has been worked into both the front and back of the bag in a decorative quilted stitch pattern, which results in a soft and protective computer bag. the construction follows vintage, mid-century upholstery techniques, making the accessory a comfortable yet durable addition to the office environment. the collection also consists of a passport holder that fits a boarding pass in lengthwise, a pen holder, and additional storage pockets for customs papers, hotel info and other necessary documents.
