The man totes that get my vote

However many tote bags I have in my life there’s always room for more. Generally, on the rare occasions I’m doing polished and professional, I use my Chanel Birkin-alike Cerf tote which is a good size, structured and has lots of lovely inner pockets. Otherwise I’m still using the khaki Ralph Lauren canvas tote bought at Bicester Village two years ago or a Jack Spade canvas tote that’s at leasat 5 years old and still elicits compliments on every outing.

Travelteq.com emailed me to tell me about its new Trash Canvas messenger which can be ordered now for October delivery. Hand made in Italy, it has a shock-resistant laptop section as well as compartments and pockets for all your other ‘trash’. Although the canvas will get grubby, I just can’t resist the combo of neutral cream, tan leather trim and brassy hardware.

I also lingered over these laptop bags…

Meanwhile, joy of joys, Montreal men’s accessories brand WANT Les Essentiels De la Vie has just landed at Mr Porter. These organic canvas laptop cases in black and navy are pretty much everything you could ask for in a hardworking tech-cessory…
