What is the perfect murse for an Architect?

archMONSTER

Im looking for something that is well designed in form + function. It must fit a laptop, keys, cellphone, shit, without it looking like it is about to explode. Must feel exteremly comfortable while riding a bicycle and does not flop all over the place. Any suggestions?

The Jack Spade Messenger isn't really a murse, since it holds a laptop (With its own separate sleeve, very handy), but it's the choice of the New-York-Pseudo-Intellegentsia-Clean-Hipster-Architect/Designer-Type. Whether that's a deal breaker or not is your call. I just caved and got one:

I would happily buy a Jack Spade bag for any man-panion of mine. Those Blackstones look nice too. Both are probably too nice for cycling though.

pardon my ignorance... but,
murse = man purse?

Yes, murse = man purse, but technically they're supposed to be smaller than a traditional messenger bag; closer in size and function to a woman's purse.

murse are so wrong. Like vado I head out (into the cruel cruel world) sans wallet or messenger bag most days

on a serious note do you need to carry a wallet if you have a murse??

Won't you carry your wallet in your murse?

If you carry a murse, is it required that your murse match your mandles?

i have a jack spade bag which i really like... considering how solid its made i have no problem with the fact i spent a little bit more than normal on it...

also, since i carry around 100 albums ( my A List) and a book everywhere i go, i virtually never leave my house without my bag... though bigger than a murse, its super handy

I've got an Eddy Bauer laptop bag that I carry most days. If I don't have to have my laptop, I carry my DL, a credit card, and a couple of 20 dollar bills in a Swiss Army business card holder I found. They both seem to do the job, and I get compliments on both.

yes, the age-old murse and mandels question.

if you delve into murse territory it must match your mandels, manlettos or whatever you happen to be accessorising with, watches and belts included.

Wow - I thought it was a misspelling of "muse" and was ready for a pretty intense collection of the things that inspire us.

i'm also in the market for a murse/messanger bag. the jack spade bags are nice and straightforward, although pricey. does anyone have a non-leather spade bag? are they water proof/resistant?

freitag bags are nice, but i want something grey or black...they seem to have every option except those 2...

my spade bag is canvas... its been super resilient... i dont know if they are water proof as that hasnt been tested too much... though it has on several occasions been rained on a bit without ill effects

i read "what is the perfect muse for an architect", and then thought you all had a "bag-fetish"...
