I live and work in downtown San Francisco and had seen a lot of European guys with versions of this bag walking around. Wanting to replace my
messenger bag, I searched everywhere around Union Square shops and online with no luck. All I could find was a
Nike version with their logo all over it. Not my style. This
Fred Perry bag is beautifully made. It's soft and feels great and the white stripe is slightly "off white" giving it a sophisticated look. It goes with everything I wear and it fits my laptop too. I will look at Zappos first, next time.
