Manbags and luggage tags

[jhm]

Very nice! I'm looking forward to my trip to Milan later this year.

I picked these two beauties up during my trip:

A classic from Agnes B (Robertson Boulevard store, LA)



And Salvatore Ferragamo (5th Ave flagship, NYC) had a turn-of-season new arrival (calf leather messenger) that very same day I visited and I couldn't resist

Currently, I have my eyes on Coach tote, but I'm a bit skeptical about Coach's quality.

You know what they say Can Only Afford Cheap Handbag

I personally prefer messenger bags/satchels to totes - i find the latter a PITA to carry around.

I also find it strange you mentioned Porter Monocle bags, since I just looked at them today

Hmm.. I think Keith has different bags, but anyway his bag also looks interesting

I just got myself a head porter tote bags (http://item.rakuten.co.jp/porter/porter638-07638/) just weeks ago. It is a japanese brand and the quality are very good. But it is not formal bags that you can carry to work, it's more for casual wear.

That bag looks a bit similar to what KeithMEL appears to have in his pics here:

Strange that you mention Porter - I was just looking at their bags which they produce for Monocle:

Back to the topics of bags , am I missing something about totes ? Isn't it a pain to have to carry it around with you ?

Well, actually I find it much easier to carry around than messenger bags as I just dump everything into it and carry it, no need to sling it around my shoulder. I have bad shoulders, thanks to years and years of super heavy school backpacks.

...Anyway back to the topic...

Back to the topics of bags...

Thank you.

...I ended up in the Ferragamo shop today and they were offering 50% off the (few) bags they still had in stock so...

Enjoy your purchase. Please let us know after you've traveled with it a few times if it fits your needs as you had planned.

Oh dear.. this thread is getting very colorful and it's just hillarious, can't stop myself laughing.

Anyway back to the topic, I'm not really a fan of cK, but this season's bag seems to be quite okay. I usually prefer tote bags as my manbags, as messenger bags tend to strain my shoulder too much at times. I found Bally, Dior Homme, and LV to be the most decent ones for tote.

ooo kooku means something quite special in erm some local language...

but anyway, yes agree. totes are the way to go. messengers don't really cut it for bringing into the cabin i think. and look at the gucci, dior and armani shows. everyone does totes. my kooku ure quite the fashionista! snap!

Oh gosh, I finally get it.
Poor little me, trying to participate in an Adult conversation. And here I am thinking watercolours , pastels, brushes and easels.

That's why you get to be Bear Mummy.
