anyone into" property of " bags? saw some of their design at paragon and find it quite stylish.
I like property Of. Durable, nice quality and they are actually well-priced compared to their competitors. $200+ for a wax cotton briefcase is quite value for money IMO.

But am more interested in their own brand Master-Piece
Reason being they are also made in Japan..

Also, I own a Masterpiece day-pack that I used during uni days. Good quality, and there is an inherent cool factor of being mostly available only in Japan. This is my bag:

Anything bigger would be overkill for me. I don't like carrying large bags around to commute.

But a bigger question why use a backpack for office? Personally not a fan. (because I have to wear a tie. Tie+backpack = incongruent)

any comments?? and any unique bags out there?? not those branded ones but unique

Messenger bags are worn by bike dispatcher / courier riding fixies in NYC.

I have a columbia one in bright neon lime so the drivers notice me when I commute by bike.

Unless you are a young student or bike rider, I find them not suitable to match with other styles.

imho, if you are a working adult. please don't embarass yourself.

Teenager - i would recommend you a jansport or fjallraven backpack. plain and simple.

'Schooling adult' here.
Yap, no way I'll carry that bag to work man, no way in hell would that bag go along with formal wear. Lol.
Heh. Gonna start my final year soon and intending to get that bag but having second thoughts now after a bro said that it looks like a dog carrier. :( :( :(

Hi does anyone have any thoughts on MCM? Not the monogrammed backpack. I just got a python embossed clutch from the airport for $800 because I knew the label got streetcred (hence won't look stupid) and the design is :s22:

But while my clutch original price was $1145, I saw some wallets cost only $300+ :(
Does that mean its only as atas as Coach, KS, etc? I can't find any opinions on it. Other than tht it's Korean owned now.
And cheaper in Korea.

Hehe TIA! I just wanna make sure it's not some crappy brand. ...

Lol MCM to me is what rappers/hip hop stars use.

like this:

:D

tbh quality not so great. But in terms of "luxury tiers", if you want to put it that way, it is slightly above Coach.

The brand used to be German I think (last time same price point as Goyard), went out of business, got bought over by Koreans, and is now making a slow comeback. They got Rain to endorse, if that floats your boat.
