London Bus

　

The history of buses in London is said to be longer than that of the subway. The origin of the double-decker bus began in the early 19th century with the French horse-drawn carriages. The change from horse-drawn carriages to buses occurred during the world's first World's Fair in London in 1851. In the background is Big Ben, the great hour bell of the clock tower attached to the Palace of Westminster. Incidentally, the melody of the bell, which is played every day at noon, is the same as the familiar Japanese school chime, which has four notes. It would be nice to hear it live at least once, wouldn't it?

　

This shoulder bag from the "Lightweight Nylon Webbing" series features the signature Paul Smith stripes. It is lightweight and has an elegant sheen. It is also strong and supple. It can be used in a variety of ways: shorten the strap to make it a one-shoulder bag, or lengthen it to wear it diagonally. However, it is better to carry it diagonally since it is prone to snatch-and-grab in foreign countries.

Hyde Park

　

Hyde Park is a huge park in central London. It is one of the eight Royal Parks in London and is also known as the site of the 1851 World's Fair in London. It has also frequently hosted rock concerts, and world-famous artists such as the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Red Hot Chili Peppers have performed there. Anyway, with lots of greenery and a lakeside, it is truly a sweet spot where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city. It is also a great area for a running course.

　

Like the shoulder bag, it is part of the "Lightweight Nylon Webbing" series. Inspired by Paul Smith's first backpack, the bag is unisex in size and features an artist's stripe lining on the inside zip pocket.

Guards Division

　

The Royal Guards are famous for their red matchstick-like costumes. They stand erect and immobile as they stand guard, and their orderly movements in front of Buckingham Palace have made them a tourist attraction in their own right. Be careful not to get too close. It is a well-known story that their big, black, bushy hats are made of bear fur.

　

This backpack from the "City Webbing" series is a well-designed bag made of high-quality embossed leather with a beautifully fine grain and original webbing tape. The cushioned mesh fabric on the back reduces stress caused by steam, and the signature stripe in subdued colors fits a wide range of situations, from casual to business. The gold zipper also adds a subtle accent.

Tower Bridge

　

Construction began in 1886 and was completed in 1894, spanning the River Thames, which flows through the city of London. Although the bridge has become a regular tourist attraction, many people still mistake it for London Bridge, which is located upstream on the same Thames River and is famous for the folk song "London Bridge Fell Down. The bridge is 244 meters long, and the gothic towers on either side are 65 meters high, with an observation walkway and historical museum inside. It is surprisingly shaky.

　

Soft embossed leather tote bag with excellent durability and elasticity while retaining the original texture of leather. The main section has a secure zip-top design with flat pockets on both sides for easy access. Clever detail work, such as the pale gold logo and chic coloring of the signature stripes, give it an elegant look. A point at the bottom prevents direct contact with the leather and ensures that the bag retains its shape.
