If you can appreciate the simplicity of Osgoode Marley, but are really on the hunt for something with a little funk, Ben Sherman's got the messenger bag for you. His 'Men's Ben Sherman BS1050101' is the best choice for adding a little character to your mighty man bag. Featuring a cool two-toned design, this bag boasts a canvas body with marbled PU trimming. Its large, buckled flap stands out with (rich brown or deep black) leather, while the off-white canvas keeps things funky. Plus, the double buckled front will be sure to keep things safely stowed away. Measuring in at sixteen-and-a-half by fourteen-and-a-half, by three-and-a-half inches, Ben's bag is slightly larger than our Osgoode. With a full retail price of just $88.95, this bag is perfect for weekend outings, or a more casual office environment.
Taking the same shape and similar size of the Ben Sherman bag we just looked at, and turning it towards a fancier feel, David King's 'East/West Full Flap over Messenger' is the perfect balance for a larger, fancier bag. This messenger bodes one extra large full front flap, which closes with minimalist magnetic closures for seriously easy on/off transitions. Plus, as this option boasts both open and zippered pockets and an organizer section, finding your things has never been easier. As always, this bag provides a comfortable, easy-to-adjust strap. With a full price of just $89.00 and a sale price of $79.00, you definitely will love this look for less. Available in tan, black, and cafe colors, take your pick and wear this wonderful messenger bag with just about any outfit.
Whether you're looking for small and clean, medium with a little funk, or large and traditional, make sure you pick the men's messenger bag that best suits your needs. You can never really go wrong with quality rich leather and a clean shape. But, if you're into funky, you look to brands like Ben Sherman to satisfy your trend-conscious cravings.
