Poacher
Heritage & Inspiration
Since Alfred Dunhill inherited his father's saddlery business over 100 years ago the art of finely crafted leathergoods has remained at the heart of the brand.
Over one hundred years later this heritage of unsurpassed leathergoods remains at the heart of dunhill and this collection maintains the tradition of the house and the family.
Contemporary Swagger
Poacher nods to the roguish, maverick gentleman who gallantly and modishly marries mischief with charm and adventure. Every piece in the collection adapts, chameleon-like, to both rustic and urban settings. Handsome and hearty, this range simply embraces age old appreciation for style, craftsmanship and provenance with contemporary swagger and rudimentary functionality. Industriously uncompromising, the collection consists of six luggage pieces of unusual shapes: 2 North South Bags (quite simply one small, one large); a Dispatch Bag; a Document Bag; the unusual Double Gusset Messenger Bag and the Weekend Bag.
Distinctive Buffed Buffalo Leather
Realised in a rich chocolate brown, Poacher is made from raw, natural cut of buffalo skin - a leather whose appearance is dependant upon where on the hide of the buffalo it is cut and therefore never what is expected or assumed. Harking back to dunhill's heritage of outfitting grand tours and bold expeditions, the gratifying feeling of worn, favourite and vintage is further qualified by the use of washed webbing detail on the straps; old-school satchel buckles and antique brass hardware.
Weekend Bag
This is a fantastic bag for a weekend away or a trip down to the gym. The large opening is easily accessed through a double zip system connected by a handle grip. In addition to the generous internal space, extra functionality is provided by two flat pockets and one zip pocket. There are two useful pockets with magnetic closures on the outside of the bag, and there are two adjustable leather handles which are extremely functional as well as being an interesting feature.
Billfold and Coin Purse
dunhill have thrown in some smaller Poacher portions in the form of a miniature saddle bag coin purse and a dual purpose billfold wallet & coin purse - both of which are practically equipped with a clip to attach it to any of its larger Poacher cousins.
