It's Manpurse Time

LFS: Their basic messenger bag is super high quality and carries a huge amount of stuff.

c: I'd just pick a backpack you like and get a sleeve for your laptop.

Al,

That looks sweet! Do you happen to know anyplace in LA where I can see that in person?

I think it's only online sales for now... check out their whole range of products - apparently it's pretty high quality stuff also.

Yeah this is the first work / messenger bag I've seen in a while where I was like "huh, perhaps I will buy this."

Al,

I could basically create infinite Red Herring/DFJ/Goldman/etc bags/totes/duffel/fleece/jacket combinations.

Me too, even after selling a ton of them in a garage sale recently. I'm not really a fan of the feminine looking messenger bags people are posting, biut I carry something like this.



One feature I've found is important to me is an outside zippered document pocket. The bags that have flaps are inconvenient to get into so my bags pretty much have to have a large document pocket on the back.

I find that to be the only important feature in bags. I find the "organizational" pockets and straps less helpful than cumbersome. I want less weight from the bag, and more room for my stuff, not little pockets for things you think I will carry.

This store is in my hood and okay. I like the simple classic style.

I have a Jack Spade messenger bag, which I see a lot of people in NYC carrying. Mine is green:

I'm not sure which one of the bags that cbloom and CharlieDontSurf posted i would rather be caught dead in.

cbloom's bag is a tru Manpurse and some would people would think i'm gay and is really ugly(IMO)

The other bag though just screams "I am 14 years and this is the COOLEST [censored] ever, wanna have seksy time pretty lady"

I like the Jack Spade one though on the other hand.

its actually more about not wanting to be a drone and have the pretty sleek looking messenger bag like everyone else at my office.

mine actually doesn't have the wierd symbol but its made from the same fabric and color.

besides... if its good enough for Bauer..its good enough for me.
