Fall 2009 Shopping List: The Brief Bag
I personally love my heavy leather messenger bag from Banana Republic, I take it everywhere I go. As much as I love it though, this season I’ve been seriously coveting a “brief bag”; a kind of hybrid of briefcase and bag.
Of my research, the most attractive bag that I can find happens to also be found at Banana Republic. Not only because I love the color and design elements, but because I happen to know by experience that they consistently produce quality-built bags.
The Banana Republic Nylon Twill Everyday Brief Bag. $180.
The canvas on this bag will add new texture to any outfit, and the slightly broken-down look, as opposed to the stiffer, more corporate looking brief bags, add a younger context without looking too casual for the office. I myself would sport this sans the shoulder strap though, and use just the handles. With this bag in one hand, and a stylish umbrella in the other, you’re just about ready for fall in the way of accessories.
