J Fold

For SS08 New York based brand J-Fold continues to revivify the world of men’s accessories. New developments focus on subtle design adjustments and the introduction of a fruit-cocktail of bold new tones. Existing favourites such as the Jetstream and Super Sonic have undergone some restrained redevelopments: the Jetstream, for example, now benefits from a smattering of J-Fold’s unique micro-perf texturing.

The delicacy of these design shifts are balanced by SS08’s bold new colour-ways. Banana yellow, royal blue, tangerine, and watermelon add a fruity-bright perspective as men’s accessories get a vibrant colour-saturated make-over.

As ever J-Fold’s collection is broad and comprehensive. Laptop cases, messenger bags, card-holders, wallets, and passport carriers are all graphic-intensive and produced from premium quality grain leather. Stars such as Snoop Dogg and Justin Timberlake are already fans of the J-Fold sport-wallet, each one of which comes in a sleek metal case.

On a side note: you may have noticed that Hiro, the star of hit sci-fi show Heroes, sports a rather dashing J-Fold messenger bag. It is the simple addition of J-Fold’s graphic messenger that transforms unlikely protagonist Hiro from geek to chic. You’ll be pleased to hear that the strikingly striped messenger is being continued for SS08.
