The 'Man-Bag' has become an essential item for most males of the modern age. Most dudes I know either have one bag or a selection of them. I recently got myself a new bag for work and did a fair bit or research to find one that matched my needs. I needed a bag that could keep documents and comics (lol) flat for reading on the train and ideally a bag that wouldn't keel over every time I laid it on the floor. Now some people would say, a bag is a bag. Well, as I spend around 3 hours a day traveling, I need books, comics, newspapers, gadgets etc to accompany me and I need a decent bag to hold them.
So I found Crumpler http://www.crumpler.co.uk. They have a shop just off Holborn. They are a boutique bag shop and pretty funky with it. I opted for the Gentleman Farmer range. It has a metal frame in it that keeps it upright (Sweet!) It has a hard casing to protect a laptop or equivalent and loads of pockets and zips for the smaller items.
So it got me thinking, what are the essential items for a Man-Bag? My thoughts to follow.
P.S. Happy New Year.
