Gucci Messenger Bag
This Italian made Gucci messenger bag makes a statement without begging desperately for attention. Subtle, yet fine detailing allow this messenger bag to convey both rugged strength and sophistication.
The attention to detail does not stop at the palladium hardware or the luxurious braided leather shoulder strap, but also extends to the hand finished camel brown stained leather exterior.
The Berluti L’Insouciant Messenger Bag
This Berluti men’s messenger bag is beautiful. I really enjoy the aged appearance of the L’Insouciant and the engravings on the rich brown leather. Pick it up at Barney’s New York.
The Carga Felt Bag
Made from industrial wool felt with a removable distressed leather strap, this felt bag from Carga ($245) is a standout not intended for the cookie cutter type. The unfinished appearance of the wool felt meshes with near perfection with the metal details along the front flap and side panels.
Christian Dior Messenger
This Christian Dior messenger bag looks perfect for carrying odds and ends. Surely it’s not for a laptop, but for a light load on the weekend, this may be just the thing.
On the tall side, this black canvas messenger bag makes excellent use of leather and metal for accents. Crafted in Italy, this is yet another handsome piece from Christian Dior.
Paul Smith Trompe L’oueil Business Folio
A wonderful collage of colors and function. Paul Smith brings us Trompe L’oueil beauty in this business folio. Aside from the awesome contrast of colors on the exterior, inside you’ll find 2 pockets and pasionately purple lining. An embossed P.S. logo and antique brass give the finishing touches. $450
Paul Smith Messenger Bag
Spotted this casual looking Paul Smith Messenger Bag. Buckle flap closure, relaxed look for everyday use, completed with a sturdy shoulder strap. While the exterior is a quite simple carameled leather with white stitching, upon opening the flap inside you’ll find a bold presentation of striped colors and more pockets to stash your stuff. Price $780
Another Gucci Messenger Bag
Yep. I’m starting to think I may have a fetish for Gucci bags. Maybe it is because for such a large company they (Gucci) still have a handle on keeping something simple and stylish, my favorites. this time around the messenger has a nickel zip and lock closure. Of course this is primarily a deterrent for would be pick pcokets but it also serves as a decoration, bringing a bit of shine to the patterned calf skinned messenger. This Guccissima bag is available in both black and chocolate. The pattern work is a more prominent on the chocolate, where on the black it is subtle and fades into the color of the bag. Made in Italy only $1,100.00
Juicy Couture Messenger Bag
Yes! This bag needs me in its’ life. Juicy Couture has offered up this fab messenger bag made from distressed canvas with of all things, golden hardware. Normally, I really don’t go for this kind of thing (here, here and here are great examples of what I normally go for), but this messenger bag pulls me out of the comfort zone big time. The distressed look of the bag along with the excellent use of color on the bags material, as well as through the clasps and the leather really brings it all together. 100 percent cotton import with a detachable leather shoulder strap. Only a nickel shy of three bills ($295). Grab it.
Gucci Messenger Bags
As you know BigBerries loves messenger bags and Gucci has three more for us to choose from. All are available in what Gucci calls Parana black, which is fine, although we would really appreciate having a chocolate option, to switch it up a bit. Prices for the Italian made bags range from $650.00 to $1,190.00. There is another Gucci messenger not pictured that fills the price gap, you can spot it here.
