The Antiatoms 'Paper Containers' Leather Collection will have you and your friends fooled with its cleverly cheeky design. The capsule series consists of four [leather bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moynat-x-kasing) emulating ordinary [paper goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muji-labo) such as craft bags, bagged lunches and manila envelopes.

The trompe l'oeil cases can be used to carry a number of things. The disguised envelope is constructed to house iPads and Macbooks, but could also double as a fashionable daytime clutch. The [craft bag-inspired tote](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/march-packable-tote-bag) will keep your groceries looking as good as you do. If you want to seriously pique the interest of your coworkers though, roll up with a leather-bagged lunch at your next meeting.

If you are looking for a stylish, yet understated piece to carry your goods, consider browsing through the Antiatoms Paper Containers Leather Collection.
