Today a friend of mine ask where's a good place to buy nice men's leather bags.
He did not want the usual staple brands like braun buffel or gucci for that matter.
So with a budget at about $300, he could get a pretty decent men's leather bag at almost any other stores.
When asked, the first label that came to my mind was
agnès b. Started as a menswear fashion label,
agnès b (and my friends, for the 1,760,215,214,434,296th times, it's pronounced as "anes bay") have done a line of watches with seiko, cosmetics for club des createurs de beaute, and in 1993 a series of leather goods known as "agnès b voyage".
Their bags are often monochrome, simple, yet classic; a case of "typical
french". You could easily get a poly-mix duffel bag for SGD$100++ or a leather brief-case for SGD$300++.
From France, to Italy...
Though more known for its highly durable synthetic fabric,
mandarina duck also produces a fair share of classic leather bags that isn't too ostentatious for the local corporate scene.
Prices range from $100 - $400 depending on the size and complexity of the bags.
This brand is stocked up in the bag section of Takashimaya. The only concern is, they might have retracted the men's collection since it may not be too popular among the red dot society.
Otherwise, get them online from
redapples.Internationally known for it's high-quality bags,
Porter International is my next best pick.
Located on the 3rd level of Wisma Atria, their latest outlet stocks up a variety of durable bags for leisure, work, and travel. You may not find as many leather bags here as compared to their flagship store in Taiwan, but
Porter International offers timeless pieces that suit almost every occasions.
Always, if you have extra money to spend, then my all-time favourite men designer brand, Paul Smith, will do the trick.
Trendy, fun, yet stylish,
Only highly-esteemed
metrosexuals or ubersexuals with great amount of personality will get my drift.

Yet, refraining from signature psychedelic stripes isn't too hard for the man. His men's collection of leather bags can take on a serious side pretty well too.
Shop at Ngee Ann City or
coggles.

He recommended a London-based label ,
Doors by Jas M.B. ,which sells pretty neat leather bags. International delivery is available at £40.
