Hello all. I have been a long-time lurker of Styleforum and it has always been a great resource for everything fashion related.
I am currently in business school and our group has decided to create a start-up selling men's bags / briefcases exclusively online.
From my own experience, I found it difficult to find a well-made bag for a reasonable price when I was going through interviews. Our goal is to create high quality canvas / leather bags for undergrad / grad male students that wish to complete their outfit for their interviews and their first job. We are going after classic styles (ie. Filson-esque), but with a modern clean look.
Styleforum has always been ahead of its time and we are hoping to get some input from the community on our project. Some topics we would like to discuss are:
- What brands do you consider when looking at briefcases / bags for work / interviews?
- How much are you willing to pay for a bag? How much do you usually pay?
- Do you see a bag as an investment that you are going to be using for years to come?
- How important is Made in America or another developed country to your purchase decision?
- What characteristics do you care about the most when looking at purchasing a new bag?
Any other thoughts / comments / suggestions are greatly welcomed as well.
Thanks!
