Sometimes trends tend to go in and out of fashion without ever making their way into the mainstream. That’s what happened to tote bags. There’s no shortage of nice ones (we’ve featured more than our fair few) but blog posts about totes have suddenly gained a defensive air about them.

This Hakkin.It bag does one thing that totes can’t – make you look like you mean business. Regardless of where you work, there are times when you need to look like a man on a mission (especially in times like these). This bag provides that. It’s a Japan only piece though, so get your proxy on. (Style Cruise)

Japanese bag manufacturers Hakkin.it are well known for their quality construction and they’ve also collaborated with Puma in the past. While the style of tne bag isn’t as popular as totes and shoppers are, they still look good. This bag is lightweight and durable, and could be used as an overnight bag although it’d be a tight fit, depending on how big your shoes are. Get it from Style Cruise.
