its pretty easy to get if you've been paying attention to all the arguments ive been getting in here.

nothing wrong with being self-centered.

I recently purchased a printed nylon tote bag from Prada that I was not satisfied with because it's not sturdy and spacious enough to carry more than a 12" laptop. I also received comments from people that the print of the bag looks feminine. So I came across these two bags and I can't decide which one to buy.

Nothing like camouflage to reinforce your masculinity...

But seriously, I think the Comme des Garcons looks too much like a hiking rucksack to be stylish, but like scott.m is saying, it will be more useful.

@ scott I was leaning towards that one because it doesn't look like something that I already have. I own a tiny Prada camouflage messenger that can only hold an Iphone and a wallet. I also have a beaten up olive green leather tote that still serves it's purpose but not fun to use anymore. When I saw the Comme bag in person, I was like " wow! this is so 2011". I like it's bold statement and the bag is expandable from the sides so I can make it wider or keep it thin when just carrying a laptop. I only plan to use this bag during my one day off like when I want to carry my laptop to Starbucks and when going shopping. I hate carrying shopping bags.

@ holly camouflage is cool and a simple way to add a bold statement with my maturing-boring wardrobe of plain button downs and casual pants, jeans, and plain knits. and I don't own anything from Junya who I have to say is my favorite men's designer right now. However, the quality of the leather is questionable having been manufactured by Vanson and only retailing for $425. Not saying that it's cheap but it's a little modest for a Junya item.

that Julius gas mask bag is amazing. Blackbird had one a million years ago that I saw in person. That is one of the few apocalyptic bags I would carry. If one popped up and I was sitting on some cash I would get it.


the Vinti Andrews thing is disgusting
