this thread had been quiet lately... does anyone here owns a timberland sling or messenger bag?
i find them quite nice recently and the stitching and leather on it looks good. bt wonder if its really durable as it dun comes cheap. any views?
below is a link i found on the net, not mine or sure if its the same, bt it looks identical on the one i saw in our timberlanf outlet.

There is only one outlet left (at paragon), their ngee ann city outlet is under renovation and wisma closed long ago...
I bought 3 during their sale last year in june (but I doubt they will have anymore sale as they are moving into european market)... Bought 2 full leather bags at around 150 and 180 each after 50% disc. They're bags are pretty lasting

projectshop ya most closed
now left paragon one
i find their bag is quite unique lor
its not branded with a big brand paste in front say XXX

but it looks good

thanks for the info man, today i just went the fossil at 313. the feel is nice and comfy i must agree, bt most of their sling bags are made of leather material. leather covers at least 80% of the entire bag, and im not one that will buy additional lotion or oil to apply on them. so decided not too.
also the staffs there never 'hill' me is another thing tat puts me off ;)

Ya... But if u know the brand, once u see their sling u can instantly recognise the brand. Sometimes it's good to have the brand XXX in front, cause tt's what you're partly paying for.

U don't need to buy any additional lotion or cream to apply on your leather bags, just treat them with good care when using and they will look good... Don't buy those type of leather tt is scratch prone.

I do a bag rotation too! I think it gives the bag a lot more longevity... Never tried fossil though. I have a bag in wax canvas and it's pretty interesting to see the colour age.
Am in love with freitag now though, just timeless colourful bags
