Bag 2 Bag

A lot of men's bags that really strikes the most do hit the wallet really the hardest. A good style impression does not come cheap as others would say. The costlier bags are justified because of the acclaimed materials used matched with detailed craftmanship, not to mention its place of manufacture. Undeniably, major Italian leather house-made bags really make it on top of price-o-meter:-) 

Nevertheless, other bags do offer these same attributes at a much reasonable retail price - plus occasional sale discounts on them too!

This is Alpha Brief Case by Salvatore Ferragamo. What makes this brief case extraordinary is the textured hand wash leather for premiere luxury. 

This brief case has roomy compartment, zip pocket inside, cellphone slot and key ring. The dark interior makes this bag more or less monotonous. 

This is the Twill Swiss Brief with Flap from Jack Spade which is  an all-purpose briefcase and travel bag. This bag is constructed from heavy cotton twill for functional durability of traditional workwear. I am really magnetized by this brief case in orange colour:-)

It has removeable shoulder strap, conventional Jack Spade hardwares and buckles and a zip top. 

The Twill Swiss Brief comes in navy colour too. 

Each bag would have their respective aesthetic appeals. One is more subtle, the other is more distinctive. Materials used are way different from each other too. One is made of premium leather, the other is made of durable cotton.

Honestly,I would love to have both these bags but the tipping point likely would be the price. Yes, greed has its own limits! LOL The brief case from Jack Spade costs almost a fifth of the price of that classy leather brief from Salvatore Ferragamo. In the end, I believe that its your over-all style and confidence that determines your arrival:-)

Cheers!
