Bag

Located on the busy thoroughfare that is West Third Street in Los Angeles, Ryan Conder's South Willard enters its sixth year in business as a one-stop-shop for men looking for the best and brightest from brands both in-demand and just off the beaten path. From a co-branded line of Quoddys to a favorite old school British cologne, each item that ends up on a shelf didn't get there by accident. We recently caught up with the man himself before he headed out the door for Paris on a weekend buying trip for next season. Which got us wondering, what does a guy like Conder pack? It turns out, simple basics from his new spring collection. - Will Widger
