Here is our Archival guide to enduring Father’s Day and Graduation gifts. Our advice is to give simple, well made gifts that will improve with use.  We also endorse shopping for yourself as a reward for making it to summer.

Small leather goods are an easy, go to gift with a great story.  We offer leather trays, key chains and leather cuffs from the Minneapolis workshop of  Nicholas Hollows.  We also have a restock of our popular Archival Flap Wallet for international travel.

Archival sells a wide range of bags.  For summer, we recommend our new Archival Rolltop Messenger which doubles as a work brief and casual bag.  Pack it with a laptop for your morning commute or carry it out on a weekend canoe paddle.  Even though folks dress down for the summer don’t forget to add a formal layering piece or smart accessory like the  Archival Bucket Hat, linen/cotton kerchief or a harness leather belt.  For more gift ideas, visit the Archival Web Shop.
