which LV messanger bag did you get? My boss has one, pretty dope but very corporate.

Some of the Men's LV bag look very homo maybe cuz all the chelsea kids in nyc rock it.

jack spade; very classy, fashionable. not very "street' but more of a refined look. girls dig this shit.

jackspade.com

energie also makes some good bags. italian brand. www.energie.it

don't do the generic nike, reebok, puma stuff. be different.

Timbuk2's sit weird I think, I really dont like them at all. They 'were' the messenger bag of choice but now theres a lot of better options.
I own a Chrome Metropolis (http://www.chromebags.com/metropolis.php). PAC designs (http://www.pacdesigns.com/index.htm) are probably the most widely used in the courier community here. If I was rich I'd get an Acronym 3rd Arm (http://www.the-glade.com/brands/acronym/3a-5ts_einsatztasche.php) (and a jacket to match). The Baileyworks (http://www.baileyworks.com/) bag looks pretty nice too, and people always say good stuff about it. Reload's (http://reloadbags.com/bags/civilian.php) are also pretty popular but I think they are ugly as FUCK.

FYI: These are all messenger bags geared towards bike couriers, not fashion streetwear kids. They are more function than anything else. Except the Acronym bag, thats just tits.

and gq recommended "jack spade"

seriously, it's the way to go; after i got it 5 guys from work wanted on and got one too; i feel like they owe me commission for all the business i've brought them.

all joking aside though, it's a very well made bag that's versatile, fashionable, and very well made. the price won't break the bank either.

damn they upped the price on this in less than a year.......i guess they losing business to all the street husters who are selling those shitty fakes.......someone has to take the loss and its the consumer.........

i use it to carry to work.........perfect for a laptop.........good for travel too.........

1070 on elux

i think i you spend 1070 on a messanger bag or 2000 on a hoody...youre a douche bag thats not in touch with reality.

i understand the idea of couture, the idea of high fashion and hype. i dont mind buying or selling 300 dollar jeans but 1000+ for a bag is kinda shitty come on man....you know some 14 year old made that on a 3.34 an hour wage. working thru 14 hour days with packed lunch of rice porridge and 1/3 of an apple
