Man bag opinions

DH needs a man bag as he loses stuff all the time. He needs to be able to fit A4 docs in it for work.

He works at a tertiary contemporary music institution and is 40 (those two things are in no way related !). He wants this bag...



What do you think? I am undecided...

I like it

Hmmm ... it looks like the sort of thing that Jack & his mates take to school tbh ... not sure if that is just the trend at Secondary Schools here or if it's everywhere but there is a danger he could look like a school kid

We bought DH a gorgeous leather satchel in Florence & that looks fab with suits or casual.

His is this sort of thing, not too structured or new & shiny looking

I like it but I like zoeys bag too

This one is far better, Kieran would choose the other one as a school bag

I prefer the first one, it's funkier

No danger of that

See, I would choose the type of leather bag you posted but I don't want to come over all fashion

Perhaps he needs both

The only other thing I'd say is that Jack is currently on his 3rd bag of that type in 18 months, regardless of make/quality they don't seem to last, they wear through on the bottom (and he doesn't drag it about) and the zips go. If he wants it to use every day then I would go for something more hardwearing like the leather ones.

I like bags like this
