Breaking into December, we’re seeing a slew of gift proper items for your family and friends. The Basic Racuk may be one of the best dressed weekender bags we have covered in some time. We absolutely love the color play on the leather. It is made from black oiled tan, red calf handles, vintage velvet lining. Excellent.  Leffot has them.

Atlanta based Malcolm Fontier has launched a new bag line that includes this slick, contemporary weekender bag.. The open top design a laptop sleeve, and space for a quick juant pack job. Consider is a fresh take on the duffle. The double zipper pull is a favorite feature of mine at the moment. What up Atlanta.

Like the Pharcyde almost said, we’d never let the opportunity to show off a good bag pass us by. This one’s from Jil Sander, so those on a budget should look away now. While it’s a good looking bag, at £1,5550, it’s strictly ones for the recession defiers only. (Browns)

This rucksack is a simple piece with adjustable straps and canvas with leather trim. “A leather-trimmed rucksack with both drawcord and buckle-flap closures is fronted by a roomy buckle-flap pocket.” Simple and available at Nordstrom.

We’d like to think that we haven’t overloaded you with duffle bags by this point, but just in case you haven’t seen one you like yet – here’s this Yvonne Kone duffle. One for the all black everything crew – it’d be a nice bag to take to the gym (although you’d be worried about putting anything sweaty inside it). [Opening Ceremony]

This travel bag packs a beautifully lined leather interior that shines just as strong as the exterior – but why hide anything? “The Lipari series are somewhat of a Calabrese show piece, expertly produced from the finest materials. This medium sized bag is ideal for day to day use or short trips, with one large compartment and a number of pockets.” End has them.

It is tough to tell if being based in Brooklyn is a selling point just obvious at this point. Either way, it seems like more and more goods (for better or worse) come spewing from these hoods. The latest is Dargelos and their “Trans/Porter” bag. It doubles as a tote or backpack. They list it as a unique design, but we have seen them before. What we do like is that it is water resistant.
