The impending summer brings with it garden parties, barbecues and afternoons getting burnt in the park. Plenty of occasions when a decent portable bluetooth speaker comes into its own.

Radio specialists Tivoli has collaborated with leather suppliers Coach to make a bluetooth portable radio that takes an everyday essential and turns into something a lot more luxe. The electronics bit is serviced by Tivoli's PAL BT radio which features Bluetooth or AM/FM if all else fails, but Coach has added a layer of their Men's Bleecker Collection leather in four different colour options - or failing that, genuine lizard skin. It's a far cry from using your iphone as a speaker.

And if the radio playlist is doing your head in, you can just stream music from your phone or iPad. Still playing your Now 35 compilation? Check out the artists Esquire has picked as ones to watch in 2013 and pretend you’re a tastemaker.
