I've always admired Samuel Beckett's style, in every sense of the word and every department of life, but I've only just discovered that in the early Seventies he used to sport an 'iconic' Gucci hobo bag as his all-purpose manbag. In this picture, he's wearing it well, with a rugged sweater and corduroy trousers, and looking very sharp indeed as he examines his dark glasses.
A hedonic resource

About Me
- Nige
- Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.
I may be contra the cravate but definitely pro the casually shouldered manbag. I expect Beckett's product-placed watch was by Philippe Patek. Great coiffure too.
ReplyDeleteQuite so, Guy, but there are manbags and manbags – I think you have to be French (or on honorary Frenchman) to get away with a Gucci. My manbags tend to have a vaguely army surplus look...
