Getting this in 5 days...I know, I know, it’s so cosmopolitan but the leather feels supple...yeah Coach Metropolitan Double-zip Brief
It’s true tough, the price usually commensurates with the craftmanship and quality. Coach is always elegant, it has its own timeless charm. Post pictures if your bag arrives, if you don’t mind, haha.
Loving my daily commuter bag, which I've been using the past couple of months: 25-liter Rigi by Crafted Goods.
I've been using my The North Face Purple Label Mountain Shoulder Bag as my EDC bag. A raincoat can easily fit inside it... along with my EDC & work stuff. What I like most about it? It is light and is water resistant. *first pic, taken from the internet for reference. On sunny days, I carry a smaller tote bag.
I love bags but I like no frills, minimalistic and sturdy bags. I like backpacks mostly. I like to browse the net for quality bags. The brands I dig are Filson, Frost River, Leather Works Minnesota, Topo Designs, Rickshaw, and many others. I look at the materials used and construction techniques first than the brand name. For me, quality is tops.
My EDC: 2010 SBL Small Satchel in Chestnut (discontinued), could fit my 10.5 iPP, SBL Big Wallet, 10k mAh powerbank etc inside, Samsung Note 8 and iPSE in the outside pockets and with Airpods, Kleen Kanteen Classic 12oz waterbottle and Swisstech multitool attached to the D-rings.
Where's the best place to get a Tumi? Are the stores in Powerplant/Greenbelt overpriced, should I try to get them somewhere else?
Amazon Though mine were bought: Alpha Bravo Beale = Tumi.com Alpha 2 Pocket small = Lotte Duty Free via the app, airport pickup Alpha 2 Compact Laptop Pack = Lotte Duty Free via the app, airport pickup
Got a couple of Tumi bags from The Travel Club in Power Plant Mall. And if you have a Citibank credit card, you can pay purely with points (which I did with my second bag).
Thanks! Eyeing an Alpha 2, also, for travel. That's where I saw it, was wondering lang if it's better to get it elsewhere. I have a Citibank card, unfortunately, it's my least used card, LOL
Docjbr, better get the Alpha 2 abroad. I got mine in KL Suria KLCC Tumi shop for almost half the price of the Philippine Price. It was on sale at that time. I have the Alpha 2 T-pass
