The 5th is an accessories label out there, making waves… on the 5th of every month. If their five-collection-strong range of watches for men and women isn’t enough to get you going, then the news they’re shifting gear to incorporate small leather goods will probably do the trick. Inspired by all the best ports of the Globe, The 5th is unique in its own way. They release a new product for their customers on the 5th of every month; or if not a product, something to look forward to, at least. This is that.

And by launching 15 new products in one hit, it’s the biggest move for the brand at once; ever! Comprised of a card wallet, bi-fold wallet, pouch, 13-inch laptop sleeve and 15-inch laptop sleeve, they do plenty of colours, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts: with vegetable tan and vibrant red leather interiors, giving your belongings the comfort they deserve, The 5th is offering something different to seasoned leatherworkers. “I’m excited to enter into this new category; we’ve been working really hard to perfect the product. It’s an exciting time at The 5TH; we’re entering a new category with products we’ve been working on perfecting for a long time now,” said Alex McBride, founder and director of The 5TH.

Despite what people think, being a man can be hard. There’s the pressure to have the job, the house, the car, the body, the hair, the suit, the style… It goes on. Thanks to one quick-thinking of an associate editor at GQ, Richard Clune, we now have a documented way to overcome all these things and put them in-step with the rest of our lives. In an extremely honest portrait of contemporary masculinity in the new book MALE ORDER: Manning Up In The Modern World, Clune takes a refreshing look at irreverent topics such as ‘How not to be a dick’, ‘A man’s guide to cool’ and ‘Don’t be that guy’ as well as more serious debates on sex, drugs, feminism, fatherhood and the very real need for men to emote and talk more freely and honestly. Complete with tongue-in-cheek narration and liberal expletives, this comprehensive guide expertly tells everything a bloke needs to know about manning up in the modern world.

If there’s one thing we can take away from the fashion weeks that hit us every year, it’s that what you should be wearing changes so often, you can’t keep on top of it alone! Which is why folks out there like Vision Direct make everything so much easier, offering-up the latest fresh-off-the-runway accessories like eyewear for what is comparatively a steal. What Mercedes Benz Fashion Week taught us is that bold is never old, and everything like coloured lenses, big square frames, cat eyes, small frames and metallic finishings are all the way of the future – at least for 2018. Vision Direct has opened its first offline shop in Melbourne this year, so trying them on first-hand is a lot more doable, but it’s their online offering that still reigns supreme. With hundreds of designer brands and more than hundreds of different styles, they keep their fingers on the pulse when it comes to what’s new and what you need, offering everything up for a price you can manage. No wonder Tom Ford, Miu Miu and Ray-Ban,Vision Direct’s exclusive brands such as Arise Collective, Oh My Woodness and LMNT are all on-board, joining the fold when it comes to tapping into these top trends, whilst providing a more affordable ‘high-street’ option, that don’t compromise on quality.

With a talented range of hands-on craftspeople, the Buckle range offers something many other brands of mass production don’t: quality. Whether it’s women who hand-cut the leather hides they receive into belt-sized strips, or the men who handle the gluing and finer construction of the end product, it’s all quality, all hands-on and all 100% wantable.

Sure, it’s not something you’d typically think to pack in your suitcase but a kimono can be one helluva handy addition, especially when you’re off to a hot destination. Kimonos by Beautiful Robes are just as the name suggests.
