I have something similar in black. I needed something a little classier than my pannier bag for taking the laptop to business meetings. It has that well worn, 'I'm a busy man' look that you can only get by buying things from a charity shop.

Why have you posted a picture of a man with a satchel in your own defence?

How do you 'fall for' a satchel?

Are those buckles real? They'll get annoying after a while.

Yes, but I find that in the best possible Sales personality type display, the length of time spent opening it allows my customer plenty of "look at my posh [b]courier [/b] bag" opportunity 😀

I ended up with a small Timbuk2 man-bag. Similar to a courier bag, but not!

... all the while the customer's thinking "isn't he a bit old for a satchel?"

Nice! I had a similar one and loved it.

I had just started school and it was perfect for carrying my pumps and gym skirt.

About what exactly. Its not my fault that you lack the class and subtle approval of the silent majority that appreciate my new bag.

So you're aiming for fakenger???? Don't forget to wear your little sister's jeans and get some knuckle tats. But do it "ironically".

Missed the 'I've just had a Phall thread' then? plenty of feelings being discussed in there.

The Phall thread was about his intestinal track dissolving, the satchel on the other hand might prevoke thoughts about kittens.

I've made myself feel bad now.

I've got this mental image of kryton57 walking down the road with his [s]satchel[/s] man bag worrying that everyone's thinking 'It's a satchel'.

Perhaps Jamie could do a little sign for him to print and attach to the bag;

"No, it's a man bag, actually"

?

I have a low-alpine man bag for wallet keys passport phone cables and power booster and a rucksack for shopping and spare underwear, baby wipes, nappy bags etc. With that nice satchel I could combine the two . How much shopping does it hold?

Our Man receptionist brought this the other day. Personally I think it's awful and a terrible waste of money but he was squealing with excitement as he stroked it. I found the whole thing very uncomfortable.

He's not. It's a satchel for sure, but a very nice satchel.

Thangyouverymush.

I will concede that according to the O.E.D. its a satchel.

Crankboy I reckon everything you mention goes in there. Without using the front pockets I have and LT and its PSU, several Apple cables and sundry items (pens, hayfever tablets) and an ipad mini. I haven't put anything in the document section either yet. 🙂

For the price of the Louis vuitton bag he could have 40.6 of my hand bag and rucksack combo and carry a lot more.
