I've never had to shop for a bag that is both functional and stylish. Since time began it has been all about the style, never the substance. Alas, now I am faced with a new problem:
How the fuck do I find a bag designed for carrying lots of books and things that won't fuck up my back and isn't lame?
If you mention Caribee or any 'sports gear' bags there will be death and blood upon you.
army disposals have got a nice selection of bags.
Fitness First have a fantastic array of stylish gear to meet all of your carrying needs.
i hate you all.
Crumpler. No-one's got those.
mone11 ones in the past have been alright

Please to tell me how you feel about pink frangipanis, nishiki?
(sorry, just biding time while i ebay for ya)
I have of these best bag in the world, can carry heaps of stuff and is super comfy
oooh i really really like the look of that bag turtle. simple design is the way to go.
Alright there you are baby
oh! thank you turtle for that link, i can call off my search. the answer is MANHATTAN PORTAGE.
END OF THREAD.
(I probably should've mentioned the bag needs to be cyclist-friendly)
And it so comfy, its all padded and stuff, and felt, and grey, and two straps, and fits soo much in there...Iv never seen anyone with it, so its with great despair I give up its source
one word,,,,
Gravis
it has no pockets though. it'd be great if they had a pocket / handbag style version.
I use it on my bike
STM bags are great, 'shiki!
popular bag
STM bags, even. from NSW but available in lots of stores. Kinda pricey, and slightly laptopy oriented but still really good bags. I've put mine through a lot.
I want a MARIMEKKO messenger bag but the ones I want are sold out

you could make that one with wheels remote control so you don't actually have to drag it along. that's what mobile phone handsets should be able to do. become remote controls for your remote control bags on wheels.
then you could have bag races at lunchtimes and on the way to and from work.
getting another six pack from the bottle shop could all be done by remote.
That would be ace.
i chucked out my old bag to motivate me to finally make a new one
god, I sound like a mega-bitch - thanks very much pops for that link. The bags look great but I don't think the patterns would work for what I want. Perhaps I need to approach them to make a custom one, or I just need to stop being so fucken fussy!
ok, so I ordered a fraulein tote from these people (in red) and I am fast falling in love with madame mooi - might need one of them too...
whats a decent backpack for a guy? can you buy basic ones that don't fall apart and don't make you look like you're in year 8?
So I'm looking for a nifty shoulder bag/satchel sort of thing that I can travel with. Something sturdy with decent space/pockets but simple. Don't want to have to wear a backpack.
Can anyone suggest a good website/shop/bag?
oh, so you don't want to carry around 3 handbags like this one girl i saw on the train this morning, peej? how odd of you.
I do but finding 3 handbags I like (and that match) is a NIGHTMARE!!!
Have you tried Leather Cargo on Lonsdale Street? (Near the corner of Swanston.)
Leather Cargo... trying to visualise it.... I know where you mean, I don't think I have.
I will check it out, thanks!
This etsy seller has some ace travelly sort of handbaggy kind of bags. She does nice linings too, which I place great importance on.
They're a bit out of my price range but I do like them.
Raf Simons for Eastpak?
That website is nuts! It's so..... derelicte!
these bags from work again are pretty good. made from bits of old Virgin planes
whoops. i mean Worn Again
I heartily endorse this recommendation! When I was down there they were having 50% off everything... and they lovely man makes out receipts for you which say ''briefcase'' and the like so you can tax deduct it.
my green bag is awesome, large and holds everything I need.
FUCKIN HELL WHATS WRONG WITH CARIBEE OR JANSPORT YOU BOUGIE WHITE BREAD FUCKEN INDIE SHIT
Ok this is ridiculous but I am actually serious about this.
