and the blue backpack/handbag (favorite) I posted a few pages back. I know the bag on ASOS you are talking about. It may be too big for me.

Oh yes, that looks to be a very cool looking bag. Sturdy, too. Hope you'd be able to get it at 50% off (or more!) when their e-shop opens. :)

Let us know once you have the Trussardis - need a review!

I don't carry a manbag as a daily course, but I picked up this Tumi 92102 for traveling and shopping around on weekends, what do you all think? I like that its small and I can carry most things I may need while traveling in it (hand sanitizer, passport, id, money, brochures, small camera, sunglasses, etc).

Tumi will last forever and take a beating, so it's good if you plan to give it a lot of wear. That being said, I don't like MOST tumi for accessories bags, because I find the styling very dull. I have Tumi luggage, but for something I carry or wear with a particular outfit, I want something with a little more focus on style than JUST on rugged, durable function.

That being said, it's not a bad bag at all and it will last you forever.

Ya, Tumi's are built like tanks. They will last you forever. Their luggage looks ok, but I don't care for their briefcases or messengers.

I hope folks who wanted the Trussardi bags made their purchases because they just jacked up both retail and sale prices!

This is just a publicity piece/runway thing, I know, but still it's perhaps the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. It is the Louis Vuitton New Age Traveler Backpack for Spring/Summer 2010. Now, the worst part: it's $54,000. Any big-timers plan to kop?

Anyone know where to get something very similar to the shape, size, structure & handles of the Prada saffiano bags (see pic below) but for waaaay cheaper? I know Trussardi has a very similar one for about $1K - but I'm looking under $350. Here's a fake version of the Prada...

The tassels and other hanging things look like entrails. LV 'viscera' collection S/S '11 ?
