Rach- I can't believe I just read through this entire thread. This is really good stuff and I enjoy your comments. Good work.
WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie:
That's it. You have convinced me. I am officially in love with Glaser Designs.
Sorry if I missed any reviews on these bags, my break at work ended when I got about halfway through haha. So I'm a student (aka have a limited budget) and I'm looking for a messenger bag for the coming year. I love the filson 256 and the Ernest Alexander bags, but can't afford it, especially when I factor in exchange rate and shipping to Canada
If you like the 256 I would save up the extra bucks and get it (eat more ramen). It really isn't much over your budget if you buy from Crane's. I have one on the way.
Picked this up recently at the Sunday market. A vintage (early 80's ? ) Bree, that looks to have been used & abused daily for about 25 years. The natural leather is just starting to take on a nice patina. Other than a couple of water stains, the thing is in great nik. Are the new Bree's made as good as the old ones?
Yea...there's still a BREE boutique here in Yorkville, but you're right...something about the line just doesn't appeal to me any more. But there was something about the stuff that appealed to me back in the 80's...maybe it was just the times...or maybe it was just better stuff...maybe a bit of both. I also used to think Roots had some nice, rugged quality leather goods back in the 80's too...and it was priced quite reasonably I thought. Some vintage products seem to be better than the new offerings for some brands i guess. Some things also get better with age...I would actually pay more for certain items with aged patina over new.That's a very cool bag. I have a black Bree leather duffel bag. Bought in 2002, still love it. I don't see Bree around much. They have a store where I live, but there's nothing in there that catches my eye, just alot of different bags made from various high-tech synthetic materials.
40 bucks (CDN of course).If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for it?
