Opinions Needed On This Messenger Bag...

[blueprint]

Hey guys,

This is my first post on styleforum so I thought I would kick it off by asking for some of your guys' opinions. I'm in the market for a new work bag and I want to get something that is versatile enough for everyday use.

I'm looking at this specific bag by Matt & Nat. The bag is brown and I usually wear grey, charcoal, and navy pants with a variety of different dress shirts (nothing too eccentric).

Do you think this bag will work as an everyday bag or should I go with a Black bag instead? And any general comments on the bag?

Cheers.

Heres the link to the bag: http://www.mattandnat.ca/product/display/535

The bag is ok I guess. Nothing special. I would like it to be a little cleaner looking (less zippers on the outside). What color are your shoes?

What exactly is vegan leather? Isn't that an oxymoron?

I rotate between black and brown shoes haha. Anyways, It's really hard finding a nice bag in my price range, I'm looking at something around $200 CAD max. If you have some other suggestions those would be appreciated.

My guess is it is a euphemism for pleather/fake leather. I guess it is "ecological leather" for cool kids.

Anyway, we've got a thread going with lots of info on manbags, though at present most of the ones on there will be outside your price range. As more people chime in, there may be more options that might fit your needs: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=115841 Also, check out some of the Globetrotter/Bill Amberg bags on Yoox. they might be within your price range, in real leather, and quite nice.

Perhaps it means that the cows were only grass fed, and not packed with industrial feed that might contain other cows. Or it might have been a hippy cow.
