Cheap designer handbags

So while handbags are never explicitly sold as a female only product we all know that they are. However the lines do definitely get blurred now and again as to what is a handbag and what isn’t, this has inevitably given rise to the ubiquitous “man bag” that we hear so much about but rarely see. Can you remember ever seeing a guy with a bonafide “man bag”?

The thing is quite a few of the items on this blog could be used by men, especially the laptop bags and briefcases (as recently just featured). So as I was snooping around on the Bottega Veneta website for the last post I came across the men’s section and found a handbag department.

I couldn’t actually find the handbag in the picture above as I think it’s from their current collection launch and not available to buy. However I did spot this lovely Bitter Polonaise Messenger Bag in the “man bag” section which somehow looks amazing but understated at the same time (quite a feat). So weather you call this a “man bag” or not I don’t know as it is essentially a laptop bag which many men are more than happy to “wear” day in day out.

I have to admit £1400 is a lot pay for something to carry your computer around in, actually it will probably cost more than the laptop its carrying in most occasions. Still this is genuine calf leather which I don’t think I’ve seen before in a messenger bag. The colour just looks fantastic and leaves me wondering why we don’t see this shade more often in the fashion world (may be too understated for some).

So the big question still remains “is this a man bag”. Well no from the point of view that it’s a laptop bag that most men have already but yes from the view of it costing £1400 and being made of the finest cured calf leather!

So about time for another laptop bag review i think as we haven’t had one in a while and we also haven’t had one like this in a very long time. The best thing about this designer laptop bag i have to admit is that it doesn’t look like a laptop bag at all. Its made by jtotebags and and it should fit all standard “15 inch laptops and allow you to carry your work/play around with you in style.

One thing that is also worth noting about this laptop bag that i have never seen in other bags of this type is that it will be entirely possible to use it as a normal bag too. Just take out your computer and throw in all your essentials from makeup to your phone, i think its a real testament to the design that you can get away with this! The bag is made mainly from leather but also has beads and even bamboo for decoration, the design really is unique. The price is as you can expect more than you would pay for your basic notebook bag at around £120 but i think this a really a solid investment if you do carry your computer around with you alot.

So the days of nerdy grey laptop bags seem to be number as i just found this new laptop bag from almost innocent which really is quite special. I suppose the best thing about this designer bag is it doesn’t look like a laptop bag at all. Even some of the official designer laptop bags that i have seem before look way to boxy to be fashionable. Despite is curves you should be able to fit a reasonable size laptop and all netbooks inside it.

Price is really good too as its a very reasonable £39 which for a designer computer bag is really good. I know that the standard nerdy bags in PC world are around that price anyway so why not pay the same and get a bag to make your friends jealous instead of feeling sorry for you!
