Manbags and luggage tags

[jhm]

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

Very noice!! Kudos to being a fellow owner of a Ferragamo messenger bag.

Congrats on your purchase, jhm.

I can't judge from the pic, but can it fit all the stuff you listed in post #1? I find I need pajamas etc. in my other larger carryon luggage until I'm ready to change. Otherwise the manbag becomes too large for me to carry when I roam around in a city during the day.

You're right that it is quite small. The main open compartment will fit pyjamas, some reading material and an amenity kit but that's basically about it. I'm thinking of using it at the airport and on a plane only rather than walk around town.

Unlike the one which taipeiFlyer posted the first link to, the zippered pocket isn't big enough to hold a paper ticket/BP without folding the stub. It would also have problems with those countries which have massive landing immigration cards.

In any event, the proof of the pudding is in the eating so I guess I'll see what goes on my next few flights. I'm slowly coming round to the realisation (reached by some of you a long long time ago ) that one can never have too many bags of all sizes!

I personally think manbags are one of the ways a man can make a confident fashion statement, so you might be missing out on an additional use for your bag (I'm referring specifically to the one you just bought).

Welcome to our world. Much as your frequent travel knowledge has surpassed mine, I'm sure your bag knowledge will soon be quite comprehensive.

Fashion ? What's that ?

OK, OK, understood!

You're being far too kind (as usual)! The TOF SQ FAQ and the advice of yourself and the others around here is always my first port of call.

Because of this thread, I went out and bought one on Sat. And I blame you all for it.

jjpb3's Prada is too small for jhm's stuff. As mentioned in the first post, the bag should be able to hold PJs amenity kits etc.

That particular one, yes. Not true for another one in my possession. (A couple of others too, if you're OK with other brands. )

Congratulations on your new purchase.

Great! It will be handy for your next trip to South America.

jhm has always had a decent size canvas Eastpak messenger bag (one of my bags actually!) which broke apart last year. Messenger bags have been around for years. I have owned one for at least 12 years. Yes, I know. Eastpak isn't exactly a fashion statement.

Anyway, for vanity purposes, I'd say I prefer the Zegna collection.

Congratulations on your new purchase.

Thank You!

For sure. Missus was not too pleased that I didn't buy it earlier and bring it for our Korea trip last month

Congrats to you too Sir.
I gotta warn ya... bag shopping is addictive.

LV, Tumi, they all make many different designs of them. When I am on 'holiday' trip I like to take them, but when I'm on business trip I prefer to have the laptop bag on top of the cabin bag since it's quicker to take out laptops etc.

Lordy, I'm going to feel very self-conscious among you fashionistas at the next Do. Kindly ignore my quaint choices for accessories when I show up.
