Fashion, The EcoMan:
These Beantown Bags Mean Business
Whether you’re rushing across campus or on your way to a business lunch, keep calm and carry all with these very masculine eco-friendly messenger bags by F. Rock. In answer to the dreaded, stigmatized man-purse, F. Rock has crafted remarkably streamlined yet classic bags made 100% from reclaimed fabrics and leathers from top-brand menswear industry factory scraps.
In four exceptionally metropolitan styles, the organic cotton-lined bags are available either fully customizable (we love the Charcoal Pinstripe or Tommy Cranberry Plaid fabric and brass hardware) or ready-made at the same price point ($285), an excellent investment in sustainable travel and mobility.
The 15” long, 12” high Brattle showcases a bolder, more antique aesthetic with a working buckle on its leather flap (though you can request a magnetic snap instead), and the Franklin ($265), though the same size, differs in its smaller fastening options (choose either a brushed nickel tuck lock or antiqued brass turn lock). Both bags offer a 3” or 4” width if you prefer, though the standard is 2.25.”
Though this sexy satchel is intended to mitigate a man’s fear of over-the-shoulder bags, it will look great on working girls, too—just like these plaid beauties.
