if your shampoo, shower gel and rest of your grooming essentials could talk, they would probably tell you that leaving them standing in a bag whilst in transits would be a better idea. alas, they couldn’t and hence till this day, dopp kit, washbags or whatever you call it, still looks like glorified shoe bags. well, not anymore, cos’ bespoke leather goods maker Hard Graft has just the solution and it is called Refresh Dopp Kit. ok, the name don’t quite do its vertical design any justice, but now you know. so why should bother with vertical washbags? the truth is, you don’t, but if you want not to dig a ton of things before reaching one, then vertical is the way to go and besides, a lot of our grooming products, be it men’s or ladies’, are by nature, standing so why make them lie down?

if you need just one bag that could see you through regular routines like grocery shopping, work and leisure, then the Hard Graft Cube Tote might be a good place to start. it has a shape unlike most bags (read: uber cool), which the product name explicitly implies, and sports an enormous opening, held closed by magnetic closure, that’s designed to swallow just about anything you can fit inside with ease – be it a stack of neatly folded clothes, the longest radish or celery you can find in your local supermarket or basically, whatever for need for your day’s task. hit the grocery stores, head to work or chill out at the beach – this bag does it all. a heavyweight British waxed cotton canvas body and a pair of wide leather and suede shoulder straps/carrying handle lends the bag a classy rugged look and also assure it will take the blunt of heavy duty usage, and doing so while weighing heavy on style.

Hard Graft Snap Wallet
billfold wallet design has remain largely unchanged over the last few decades. the distinguishing differences are probably the brand and the material used, but not with the Hard Graft Snap Wallet. it is one of those rare men’s wallet that marries the traditional billfold design (with a slight twist, if we might add) with snap closure, which resulted in a unique design offering a truly unhindered access to the billfold slot. we love the fact that it has an unconventional billfold slot that opens on two adjacent sides and also that the 8-card slots section is intentionally not in line with the overall wallet height like traditional wallets do, which means it has a ‘taller’ billfold slot that can virtually accommodate any currencies known to man.

Hard Graft Draw Pen Case
unless you have a pen that folds, we would imagine you will need something to carry them around, well, that is assuming you still depends on pen to jolt down notes or doodles. i still carry a pen, mainly for filling out lottery forms (don’t look at me that way, i need those money as much as you do) and not having a proper containment is a bit of a headache, and i don’t expect myself to be bringing along a pencil case to do the job (it’s kind of an overkill, you know?), so for that the uber stylish Hard Graft Draw Pen Case might just comes in handy. designed for stowing a pen or two (depending on your pen thickness), the Draw Pen Case continues with Hard Graft’s tradition of Italian craftsmanship with premium vegetable tanned Italian leather – hand-stained, no less, and features a full Italian wool padded interior to keep your favorite writing implement free from scratches and similar to its Draw Key Pouch counterpart, it has a tactile Japanese cotton cord for drawing the opening to a close to prevent the pens from falling out.

Hard Graft Draw Key Pouch
we often spoke about going minimal for our wallets, but we forgot that we still have keys to deal with (unless you have smart entry like the Lockitron installed in your house), which obviously, a minimal wallet ain’t going to do it, less you have only one key. the Hard Graft Draw Key Pouch is the for the time where you want to go minimal, but still have the keys with you. it is a beautifully handcrafted from premium vegetable tanned Italian leather like Hard Graft always do and features a keyring for your keys and a tactile Japanese cotton cord that you pull to get the keys safely tuck inside the pouch, thereby preventing them (the keys) for ruining your sleek smartphone or your beautiful leather minimal wallet when they are stashed together.

Hard Graft Camera Accessories
if you are wondering why Hard Graft has only one camera accessory to offer, well, you can stop wondering, cos’ it now has not one, but three more accessories for style-conscious (and possibly, leather-loving) shutterbugs. the trio, a hold camera handle, hang camera strap, and box camera bag, sports Hard Graft’s signature vegetable tanned leather and 100 percent wool felt combo that, in our opinion, speaks of both class and luxury. the simplest accessory of the three, the hold camera handle is basically a handle that’s design for times when you just need to hold your camera securely without being bothered by shoulder strap. it features a patented 360-degree hook which provides an unrestricted holding position – though the thing is, you will have to constantly hold on to your rig much like a gunslinger, but without a holster.

Hard Graft Frame1 Leather SLR Camera Bag / Smoke
we did feature this Frame1 Leather SLR Camera Bag about a year ago, so this is kind of an update, which for the record, we don’t usually do. we prefer to do “minor” updates through our Facebook page (another reason to follow us on Facebook, perhaps?) for orderly and neatness sakes. however, this Smoke version is so rad that we thought it would be an injustice not to make a post out of it. crafted entirely out of 100 percent vegetable tanned leather, the Frame1 features a full and soft leather lining, thick padding for cushioning protection for your photography gears, removable divider to eliminate “passionate embracing” between gears, and a small zip pocket for nitty gritty stuff such as memory cards or for analog photography buffs, films and the likes. btw, it (the zip pocket) is totally capable of holding an average size phone too.
