Hasta La Ideas

Crafted from ostrich leather, lined with with double-faced duchesse satin (100% silk) and hand-sewn in London, this luxurious eye mask hails from English heritage brand George Cleverly and New York City-based journalist and jet-setter Zachary Weiss. This collaboration on irreverent travel essentials marks the first of its kind for the bespoke leather goods house, renowned for its skilled artisans, and also includes a grocery tote in black and brown crocodile-effect leather, as well as a wine and spirits case in an apt shade of bottle green. “This trio of items I designed with the George Cleverley team are, at the end of the day, deeply frivolous versions of things I use on a daily basis,” Weiss tells us. “When I had a cocktail hour with George Glasgow, the brand’s co-owner and CEO, a year ago at the Guards Bar at The Raffles in London, we wondered what he could make with these leftover small pieces of rare skins he has on-hand in the workshop after he’s finished making shoes for cool guys like David Beckham. When I told him I had amassed a collection of many, many eye masks from my travels and that I slept with one on every night, he and his craftsmen were bold enough to give it a try.”
