The Pirlo is built for the working week. This brown distressed leather messenger bag has two zipped pockets on the front, two on the back and more storage inside. That means your laptop charger and your lunch never have to share a pocket. Wear it on the adjustable shoulder strap, or grab it by the top handle when you're running for a train.
When pockets aren't enough, go hands-free. The Maldini and Baresi leather bum bags are Italian handcrafted with brass hardware and an adjustable leather strap, so you can wear them on the waist or across the body. The Baresi adds a zipped front pouch and comes in navy or brown. The tan Maldini has a discreet rear security pocket for the things you'd rather keep close.
The Chiesa chest bag is also Italian handcrafted, in brown leather with a brass popper flap and a diagonal zipped front pocket. The strap adjusts for either shoulder. The tan Meazza mini shoulder bag holds more than it looks like it should, with a flap compartment, a zipped section and a rear security pocket.
For travel, the Cannavaro leather washbag comes in black or tan and measures 34 x 19 x 10cm. It's lined in checked cotton, with an internal zipped compartment that stops razors and cufflinks rattling around. Pair it with the Baggio shoebag and your muddy soles stay well away from your clean shirts.
A men's leather bag makes an easy gift for birthdays, Christmas and Father's Day. He'll still be using it years from now, and it will look better for it.
