Well if it isn't Chuck Bass. No, I don't know who makes his bag, but trust me, it is damn near impossible to find most of the stuff worn by him on the show.

Nice bag, Jeff. But then again, I would be inclined to like it

I really like that last Coach bag in brown. I have the same model in Navy, and it's held up very well. I wish it was still available, although there are comparable current models.

I think you can get a nice canvas bag and would prefer the looks of one over a cheap leather bag, just so you can say its made of leather.

I want to get a new briefcase/laptop bag, but also don't want to look feminine. Its not been an easy search.


Most people in my program just have a soft case for the laptop and throw it in with the rest of their books. I hate to say it, but I also must choose function over form. I have a Spire laptop backpack which typically carries about 30 pounds of books, notes, and other stuff along with the laptop.

That said, I can't say enough good things about the Spire backpacks. They are made out of a similar material as seatbelts, and I have had the same one of their bags for 4+ years. It's been all over the world, and to and from class hundreds of times, and still looks as good as new.

My first nice bag: no-name document case from ebay, made in Walsall England of bridle leather (not as useful as I thought, much smaller than it looks).

Picked up this GoldPfeil Attache this week. Its vintage and in very good condition with minimal wear. Although I may put it on B&S since I'm really wanting to get some dollars together to get a Saffiano leather case.
