Riche Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah ... thanks! I don't really want to walk round looking like I've been kneecapped or in a terminal stage of arthritis thank you! No man bags please, it aint right. A old school leather sachel is cool but is has to old and a bit worn. It makes you look smart like you have been to Oxford or summat. I was asked once "Have you been to Oxford?" I replied "No I wasn't clever enough":roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 I use a rucksack at the moment, but I've looked at the leather sachel style bags a few times. They'd fit the laptop and flask of coffee in them, and they look a bit more professional than the rucksack... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004MDKR18/ref=asc_df_B004MDKR183291968/?tag=googlecouk06-21&creative=22134&creativeASIN=B004MDKR18&linkCode=asn Problem (for me) is that it does look a bit like a large handbag. Hey ... that doesn't look too bad does it!? What do other people think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Not if it's worn across the shoulder/body, that way, you've got both hands free so how can it be a "handbag". Women could carry their bags the same way, it wouldn't alter that they are handbags though. The name describes a style of bag, not just a way of carrying it. (My rucksack doesn't become a handbag if I pick it up by the strap does it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hey ... that doesn't look too bad does it!? What do other people think? House of Frazer and Debenhams have a good selection. Or if you're going down to London there's a Fossil shop in St Pancras that's worth a look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Men have always carried bags, whether it was factory workers with bags for their snap etc with a strap going across the body or DJ's with record bags, neither type remotely feminine. Because they have been labelled man bags and associated with the uber trendy twenty somethings dressed in those clothes they are now controversial. Rucksacks are OK but purely functional and it's a style disaster to carry them with suits. What about a rucksack for laptops etc? These seem to be getting more and more popular..

DUFFEMS Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 What about a rucksack for laptops etc? These seem to be getting more and more popular.. They're O.K. but, don't look quite so professional. I'm all for practicalities but, need a bit of "coolness" thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamrocker Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I have an Alexander McQueen handbag, although to be fair all I have in it at the moment are some knuckledusters, a couple of wraps of heroin and copy of the guvnor tapes. You managed to get some then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No dice Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 It depends where you are, If you're on Ecclesall Road or walkley you'll be OK, but try going into Colley club with one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my laptop lives in one of these... http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=766 dunno if that would be considered cool or not however...
