Lacoste Croc In The City Boston Bag

My adoration with various styles of Boston bags continues with this In The City Boston Bag by Lacoste Croc. Boston bags were the style du jour when I was a kid, which may in part be responsible for my renewed enthusiasm of the form. This Lacoste Croc. is much different from the Boston bags we carried as kids and hopefully will last longer than our cheap sneaker brand bags that we kept replacing every semester. The bag is made with lightweight nylon, has a large interior packet with zip enclosure, and a distinctive outside pocket. Stylish.

Corallo Bag

It looks like a single stroke sketch that was immediately transformed into a bag. "Featuring a design inspired by the Campana Brothers' innovative Corallo armchair, this remarkable bag features a spiraling shape that is meant to evoke coral branches".

Eagle Creek Scout

Last night while out doing some trend spotting, my 3 old son tells me blue Nike sneakers are cool, I came across some bags from Eagle Creek which I like. We have at least 1 Eagle Creek duffle which has served us well and I use their packing cubes whenever I travel. So I know their quality is generally top notch.

The Eagle Creek Scout looks perfect for city day tripping or for the traveller who doesn't need to carry their life on their back. It looks perfect for carrying a camera (it's padded), notebook, and a few gadgets and accessories. The side mesh pockets are great for your reusable water bottles and perhaps a small umbrella.

I think many people will like the ability to carry this on your waist, thereby freeing your shoulders and keeping you a bit cooler in the heat, but I always find that attaching anything to my waist causes my pants to fall down. Not the most pleasant experience in a crowd of people.

It comes in more than one color for those who think black is boring.

Reusable bags

New colours for summer?

The 24-7 bag has been designed to be with you all the time. Really, all the time. That’s why the bag has a casual go anywhere, do anything style. We wanted the bag to work well for the grocery store, or a day of shopping in the city, but we also wanted people to feel good about carrying the 24-7 bag into a nice restaurant, or even a night at the movies

Outpac Travel Safe

I prefer subtlety to more in your face attempts to safe guard my valuables when traveling but for some who have come to reply upon the false security hotel safes this might be a necessary product. No doubt that this will deter but the more determined thief. This tough bag is made with high-tensile, stainless-steel wire which is laminated between durable nylon fabric to form a rugged pouch. The bag cinches at the top with a draw wire which you secure to the heaviest object in the room with the included padlock. About $40.00US from REI. Via uncrate.

Large Billboard Pony Bag

I was reading GQ at my favourite Thai. curry restaurant last night and came across a whole section detailing just how fashionable it is to own bags like this large Billboard Pony. Retro is in and the large logo lets everyone know you believe it. The curry was quite excellent by the way but the coconut juice was blah. Befitting my graying temples I remember bags like these. It was about all a self respecting kid could take to gym class.

I actually have this bag, given as part of some promotion, and it functions perfectly as a day nighter. It doesn't make me look fashionable or stylish, just old, as I am sure people likely think I had this bag since Pony was a big player back in the 70's and 80's. It's designed for the "fashion forward consumer" who wants to buy a "fresh athletic inspired fashion product". That's not me but it might be you. $55.00US.

Check it out at Zappos.

Varick Nylon Small Mapbag

One category of bag which I find constantly buying would be "small compact bags to carry a sketch book and day planner in". We will not call these man purses ok? I've gone through dozens, not because I buy items of poor quality but because they tend to be a bit easier on the pocket book. Well except for the Varick Nylon Small Mapbag which high of style appeal is at $198US a bit expensive for a nylon product and as such, for the poor man that I am, not an impulse buy. For some the habit of carrying a bag such as this has it's routes in travel. They are perfect for carrying a map, guidebook, munchies, and a small camera. For me it has it's routes as a "gigging" musician. A musician's friend is his date and address book and since most of your work is acquired through social networking you have to be prepared at all times to check you calendar to fit in some work. These days I carry these bag types simply to free my hands - all I carry inside are diapers, pocket camera, and candy. This coach bag will be a good fit for all you urban adventurers.
