Chap Launches New
Accessories Store
Published on
December 4th, 2016
Kit & Kaboodle
is the new online retail wing of The Chap, selling authentic men’s
accessories of an exceptionally high quality. We have combed the
factories, workshops, warehouses and studios of Great Britain to find
the nation’s finest craftspeople, many of whose products are hardly
known outside their small band of loyal customers.
From master leather
workers to talented tanners, dedicated cutlers to kings of the
woollen mill, makers of the finest writing implements to cutters of
the smoothest leather notebooks, hereditary horologists to the
crafters of beautiful leather watch straps, Kit & Kaboodle have
sought the finest makers in the land and brought them all under one
roof.
We firmly believe
that buying the budget version of something a man will probably use
for his entire life is a false economy. We believe that if you buy
sensibly and from a source that has taken the trouble to ensure
long-lasting quality by using traditional methods of construction,
you will not have to buy that item ever again. Objects that are
soundly made also age extremely well: a satchel made from premium
calf-hide will not only outlive a synthetic alternative, but will
acquire a patina that reflects its years of faithful use; it is far
more likely to improve in appearance rather than degrades over time.
We have been a long
time in preparing this enterprise, forming relationships with
countless independent makers of the items we think every man should
possess, regardless of age, fashion or sartorial style. The people we
work with have either been in business for decades, or honing their
particular craft, to the exclusion of all others, for many years, and
this is reflected in the products we are offering to you.
Take our advice:
invest in a single, perfect example of each of your essential
accoutrements, look after them well, cherish them like you would a
beast of burden, and you will never have to purchase another one
again. Allow Kit & Kaboodle to guide you through the nooks and
crannies of a British manufacturing industry that thrives today more
than ever, despite the attempts of global brands to seduce us with
their throwaway products, and your life will be enhanced for it.
