A 20-something Isetan men's staff member fell in love at first sight! Everyday life (style) with Dunhill's new 2022 collection, "Legacy Collection."
Dunhill's Legacy Collection features a fresh take on the latest longtail logo, unveiled in the Spring/Summer 2022 collection, with the addition of "LONDON ENGLAND," Dunhill's birthplace, and "1893," the year of its founding. The canvas "Utility Tote" has been updated with new graphics, and signature shapes such as the "North/South Tote" and "Zip Pouch" have been added to the lineup. Small leather goods (SLG) with striking monochrome designs also make a cool appearance.

Dunhill's new "Legacy Collection" as seen by people in their 20s
"It's really refreshing to see items that our generation can wear as everyday clothing," says Ayumu Matsuoka, head of digital at Isetan Men's. "Dunhill is a brand that excels at tailoring, and it has a classic image, and I had the impression that it was a brand that people older than our generation could wear, but after trying the Legacy Collection, I felt a flexibility in trying new things."
"For the upcoming spring and summer seasons, a canvas bag that gives a clean and elegant impression is great because it can be carried like an accessory. The balance of Dunhill's latest long-tail logo and its placement looks great on both canvas and SLG leather, adding just the right amount of tension and a new elegance to your outfit," says Matsuoka, showcasing his refined styling.
Bags, SLGs, and sneakers are everyday necessities, but the identity of a brand with a rich tradition evolves the style.

【STYLING】
I usually like to wear tone-on-tone outfits, where I match the tones of the colors, and this is a styling that uses a single shade of brown to create a gradient. Tone-on-tone makes it easy to create a cohesive and sophisticated look, and the advantage is that it's "easy to style." In fact, it's the perfect technique for lazy people like me.
For this tone-on-tone look, I chose the "Utility Tote" from the Legacy Collection. Tone-on-tone outfits can easily look flat if you're not careful, so the key is to use bags, belts, shoes, and glasses effectively to add dimension and depth to your styling. Use a contrasting color effectively to adjust the balance of the areas of color used throughout your outfit. This tote bag works really well, with the white logo on the black background providing a nice contrast.

The placement of the long-tail logo, "LONDON ENGLAND," and "1893" feels very stylish. It blends seamlessly with the styles of our generation and really changes the look. While there's a trend towards smaller bags these days, a large, spacious bag can easily become a focal point of your styling and can be used like an accessory.

【STYLING】
This spring/summer season, I'm in the mood for coordinating outfits with bright, clean colors. I've paired a clean denim coverall set with a North/South shaped tote bag from Legacy Collection. Adding bright color tones like white, beige, and ecru, perfect for spring, makes the outfit feel seasonal and fun.
[IMPRESSION]
From a seasonal perspective, leather bags tend to be heavy, so canvas bags are a perfect fit for spring. I love this tote bag because it's the right size to wear on my shoulder without clashing with my outfit. It's a bag that I can wear straight from work to go out without feeling overdressed, while still exuding elegance.

This spring and summer, there's an abundance of easy-to-wear coveralls, but pairing them with Legacy Collection's clean-looking sneakers completes a neat and stylish look from the feet up. The white-based sneakers don't look like they're from a sports brand at first glance, and their simple, anonymous feel is perfect for the styling of our generation.

I knew that Dunhill is a brand with strong ties to motorsport, but this is the first time I've heard of "racing stripes." From the way the gum sole looks, to the lines on the side and heel, the suede accents on the toe, and even the thickness of the shoelaces, these sneakers are meticulously designed and symbolize the long-standing close relationship between the brand and motorsport.

Inspired by 1980s casual style, the Court Legacy Trainer, which debuted on the Fall/Winter 2021 lineway, is a modern reinterpretation of vintage tennis shoes. It features calfskin leather with suede trim on the toe box and a rubber sole with a tread pattern reminiscent of Dunhill's history with automobiles. The upper is adorned with a gold foil-stamped "Longtail Logo," and the serrated edges and contrasting racing stripe motif are eye-catching.
Men are now using pouches for both work and leisure. Wallets are surprisingly often noticed.

Actually, I've recently been looking for a pouch to organize the clutter in my bag. A pouch of this size would be perfect for using as a bag-in-bag while traveling, and for moving around the office with just this pouch, my PC, and my smartphone. And on weekends, it would be great to be able to go out with just this pouch. Even men are starting to carry around small items, so pouches are really useful.
I also checked out all the items in the Legacy Collection's SLG lineup, and I really liked the "LEGACY ZIP COIN PURSE." It's amazing that you can own a Dunhill item for under 30,000 yen.
