The Best: Messenger Bags

The messenger bag is a classic, and should be present in every man's wardrobe. Just one, in a suitably classic style, will take you a long way.

I'm a huge fan of our number one, the Mulberry Brynmore. I own the classic design, but the updated version for the MacBook Pro (below) is sleek, elegant and quintessentially British. Having said that, any one of these top five are going to give you a slick and modern look.

There's something here for the workplace or the weekend, so take a gander.


1. Mulberry, Brynmore for MacBook Pro (£895.00)

A classic amongst messenger bags, this natural leather will age wonderfully if cared for properly. A sound investment from the British brand. Great stitching detail and the traditional postman's lock, it's not high fashion but it is high end.

Designed for a 15" MacBook Pro, there's never been a better way to transport your technology.




British-born New York outfit Rag & Bone have produced an excellent smart/casual option. This is certainly the bag that treads the fine line between the office and the bar the best. And a good khaki canvas lining too, which is both hard-wearing and won't shed on the contents of your bag. 

The wool body and leather trim makes this a fantastic autumn/winter choice!



For the more casual amongst us, this messenger from Swedish brand Sandqvist is definitely the way to take those work documents and the laptop to the nearest cafe at the weekend. The blue canvas with leather detailing is relaxed and super-cool.

For those starting or heading back to uni this month, this is my recommendation for lectures this year!



For the richer gent. Beautiful. Sleek. Classy. Banker. *anker. Jealous.



Longchamp have a good (and extensive) range of leather and nylon totes and messenger bags. This one, in its lovely copper, is my top choice. Reasonably priced, too.

Take me to Paris and wear this with a grey COMME des GARÇONS jumper (I don't care they're Japanese). I'd be yours.
