For sleek minimalist leather bags, Rudsak is your best bet. They have both men’s and women’s designs. Ladies, flirt with some fringe with the Penza backpack, or go for the Robyn, a dark brown tote with a detachable interior compartment and adjustable shoulder strap. Fellas, you’ll look extra dapper with the classic detailed Lambert briefcase that, with its cross-body strap, turns into a messenger bag – plus, it also makes for the perfect corporate bag.
Perhaps the most well known parka outfitter in the city, Montreal-based fashion brand Rudsak has been hailed the go-to retailer for those who want both extreme warmth and trend all in one. Don’t get too carried away though, because their selection of boots, bags and other winter accessories are just as tempting.
Canadian designer label RUDSAK has come a long way since its opening in Montreal a few decades ago. Staying true to their rock n’ roll inspiration, the brand produces some of the best leather and wool winter coats in North America, and purchasing one can be considered an investment piece because of the outstanding quality and durable fabrics. Seriously, you’ll be wearing it for years.
