Upon first glance, The Vael Project looks like misspelled venture for delivering baby cow meat to less fortunate foodies. While we're all for the distribution of tasty meats to those who cannot afford it, the fashion forward part of us was absolutely delighted to find out that the Vael Project is actually a stunning new line of premium leather goods that focuses on making irresistibly sleek shoes, bags, and accessories for the “wandering global creative class.” It's for folks who want their gear to be able to handle a hike in the hills of Cinque Terre and still look great at a business meeting in Brussels. Their creations are so sultry, stylish, and sensible that it's no wonder the thought of The Vael Project makes our mouth water...however, we may end up in a veritable wading pool of our own drool before we can get our hands on some of these haute hides, as they're not available to the masses for nearly five more months. The suspense is killing us. We’ll update with stockist and purchasing info as soon as it’s made available.
