Monocle is that sort of magazine you graduate into as you mature like a fine wine. Gone are the scantily clad women and talks of how to get girls in bed and in come the globally encompassing discussions of business, politics and life. Within a short period, Monocle has developed a strong following. They teamed up with Japanese bag makers Porter to produce some travel-worthy bags. Each bag shares the same simple aesthetic and quality to get you through your daily and worldly commutes.
