Bags for men and women: backpacks, handbags and luggage

Backpacks: Eastpak, Got Bag, Sandqvist and Gaston Luga

Backpacks are led by Eastpak: the Eastpak Padded Pak'r, the brand's signature model, the Eastpak Day Office and the Eastpak Volker laptop backpack. Got Bag Rolltop backpacks, from the German brand that makes its bags from plastic recovered from the ocean, Sandqvist Icon backpacks, from the Swedish brand, and Gaston Luga bags, from Stockholm, round out the range of men's backpacks and women's backpacks. Laptop bags and sleeves and school bags take over for work and school.

Belt bags, shoulder bags and crossbody bags: Hindbag, Chabrand and Eastpak

To keep the essentials close, the quilted Hindbag Olivia and the Hindbag Harry belt bags, from the French brand, are worn at the waist or across the chest. The canvas Chabrand Icone shoulder bags, from the brand founded in Marseille, the Eastpak The Bigger One, and the Eastpak Delegate crossbody bags complete the belt bags and the men's crossbody bag.

Handbags and tote bags: Guess, Nunoo and Steve Madden

Handbags include Guess handbags, like the zipped Guess Noelle II and the Guess Lindsey, Nunoo Dandy handbags, including a braided version, and the Steve Madden Bjolene handbag. Tote bags add the braided Ilse Jacobsen Hornbæk tote bag, and clutches the Hindbag models: plenty of choice to find the women's bag that suits your day.

Travel bags, gym bags and suitcases: Fred Perry, Napapijri and travelite

To get away, the Fred Perry Classic Barrel, the Napapijri Bering, from the Italian brand, and the Hindbag Yves travel bags hold a weekend's worth. Gym bags rely on the Fred Perry Tonal Classic Barrel, wheeled bags spare you the carrying, and suitcases feature the travelite Air Base, from the German luggage brand: choose your travel bag according to the length of the trip.

Pouches, wallets and small leather goods

Eastpak Benchmark pencil cases, Hindbag Lili and Guess Lindsey wallets and coin purses, Hindbag toiletry bags, lunch bags, document holders and other bags, like the Hindbag Simon duffle bag, complete the small leather goods.

Women's and men's bags: leather, canvas or nylon

A leather bag develops a patina and lasts for years; canvas and nylon, lighter, are easy to clean and cope better with rain. For women, the handbag, the tote bag and the crossbody bag share everyday uses; for men, the shoulder bag, the backpack and the belt bag keep your hands free. A black bag goes with everything, a camel or beige bag softens a dark outfit.

Bags shipped within 24 hours help out for a last-minute gift, and at the end of November Black Friday accessories cuts prices on Eastpak backpacks and Hindbag belt bags.

Frequently asked questions about bags

Which backpack for a laptop?

Check the screen size listed for the laptop sleeve, in inches, and choose one equal to or larger than your laptop. A laptop backpack with a padded sleeve protects the screen better on the go.

How do you wear a belt bag?

At the waist, with the buckle at the front or the side, or across the chest for a more urban look. Adjust the strap so the belt bag stays close to your body and doesn't swing.

What's the difference between a shoulder bag and a crossbody bag?

A shoulder bag is a small flat bag, worn across the body, for your phone, keys and wallet. The crossbody bag is larger and can hold a tablet or a book: the men's shoulder bag is for light everyday use.

How do you clean a canvas backpack?

Empty it, brush off the dust, then clean it by hand with a sponge, lukewarm water and mild soap. Let it air-dry, open, away from a radiator: the washing machine can damage the padded back and the zippers.

Which travel bag for a weekend?

A duffle bag or a soft travel bag, like the Fred Perry Classic Barrel or the Napapijri Bering, is enough for two or three days. A weekend bag with an outside pocket keeps your documents and charger within reach.
