A remark by a friend got me thinking; was my messenger bag due for "retirement"? A quick search of my other blog revealed that the bag was already 4 years old. Sure, it's still going strong, without major tears, and is super versatile. But getting another bag (perhaps more formal-looking) to alternate is tempting...
One recent trend that I've been noting is the tote. More men are carrying this bag once confined for women. I have to say that most tote bags specifically designed for men are not that functional. The nice-looking designs tend to be square in profile, which means your stuff goes into a "Grand Canyon", and fishing things out from your bag could take quite some effort.
I suppose the change in profile is part of an attempt to differentiate from a typical women's tote bag, so that a guy looks metrosexual, and not girly with a tote.
So what next? I'm slowly gravitating to a leather duffle or messenger bag...
