The search for the ultimate suede led Jordan Bespoke on an Italian adventure

If you’ve been seeking the ultimate weekend holdall that's not only practical but utterly glorious to look at, look no further. Jordan Bespoke’s latest additions have your weekend travels all packed up…

When it comes to weekend bags, there are many, many out there. Some large, some tiny, some leather, some not, and some that are so utterly gorgeous they make you stop and stare in wonder. Jordan Bespoke’s latest offerings in the GTO Holdall range did just that to all of us in the Classic Driver Office, and a discussion erupted at which one we’d take first.

These buttery smooth suede delights have been lovingly designed with the pursuit of perfection firmly at their core, with Jordan Bespoke’s Creative Director, Simon Jordan seeking the ultimate material for his GTO bags. Being a huge Gucci suede loafer fan for many years, Simon Jordan decided in 2022 it was his mission to find the ultimate Italian suede. Eventually he did, crafted by an artisan family tannery in Tuscany.

The specification of the suede had to be very high-quality, with the finest touch and feel to them, as well as the all-important nap when you brush in different directions; the hallmark of a rich suede. Jordan Bespoke’s Tuscan Suede might just be the ultimate material for a stylish week bag and offers all these important properties and with the added protection of being water repellent for when the heavens open.

Each item from the GTO holdall collection is hand made to order directly in Tuscany, with the highest attention to detail possible. If we had to choose just one out of this impressive line-up, the Blu Le Mans Navy Racing Striped piece was one that instantly caught our eye. We could think of a few cars that would suit this bag to a tee!
