Papas' Got a brand new bag......

I'm a self confessed accessory addict. I'll make no bones about it, whether it's Sunglasses in Summer or umbrellas in rainier months. I do love to mix it up and drop a nice little extra as an addition to my get ups.

So, it will come as no shock that i like to rock a bag every now and again. Not as a look thing, more to do with carrying stuff around (obviously) but while being practical, we should never over-look the importance of looking sharp.

With this in mind, I've added a rather natty little collection of the Bags that have caught my eye, for different reasons. I've also included my own favorite personal Bag...
Not into carrying stuff around? Get it sorted and give your hands a rest in style, ya big meandering dandy...

Calabrese Duffle Bag...
-------------------------------
There's something i really like about Calabrese Duffle Bags, the rope style handles hint at a nautical inspired style and the overall simplicity gives it a modern edge with a sharp classic twist. I'm digging the red/brown leather trim the most, how about you?



Fjall Raven Kanken Rucksack...
----------------------------------------
I'm a big fan of bright and loud colours (in the right context), muted down with some more understated accompaniments and this rather garish Fjall Raven Ruck could look just the picture i reckon. A snip at the retail price, a rather cool little addition for the ramblers and festival heads.


Belstaff Colonial Bag...
------------------------------

This tasty little number is perhaps heading towards the serious end of the spectrum as far as price is concerned. However, the details on this rather eye catching bag are second to none. Being Belstaff, the craftsmanship and quality is assured. Suited perhaps for the modern city gent, resplendent in his Grenson's and Trailmaster...





Barbour Messenger... (Personal)
---------------------------------------
My favorite piece of bag wear that i own, i picked this little gem up from one of those overly-nosey toff type country gent stores while on my travels - the type that questions all these smart young rogues coming in to buy their Barbour internationals. A quality piece of kit that didn't cost the earth. Turned out nicely with matching scarf for those all important flurries into cold northern territories. Delightful.


Albam Summit Pack...
-------------------------------

Last but not least is the magnificent Summit pack from Albam. Have they turned out anything that doesn't smack of coolness and sophistication? Press your chinos, dust off your Persols and don your Sperrys... Seaside strolls and backdrops of sand dunes fit this Rather ineptly named 'summit' pack perfectly in my clockwork head.
