BILLYKIRK BARTENDER BAG. From Jersey
City brothers Chris and Kirk Bray, Billykirk
is a leatherworking design duo that is
an antidote to inferior quality and mass
production. This year, Billykirk teamed up
with Cooper & Thief to create a bar bag
that will make anyone the envy of the party.
With room for bar tools, a bottle and then
some, this handcrafted bag made in New
Jersey might just be the answer for the
cocktail enthusiast who has everything.
