Antonio, many years ago I think I remember you doing a review on a briefcase/duffel looking thing that was handmade from Buffalo leather It had a wierd locking mechanism as opposed to a buckle or a zipper and it looked super elegant and classy I forget the name of the bag and the company, its an American company that was ran by an old man with a giant grey beard and glasses

[@zalejackson]

Honestly I would love the City Backpacks. Both colors are great and versatile. You can definitely switch it up a lot. I watch the channel and take notes so I would wear this with work attire fasho. I work with a Personal Injury Law Group as a Intake Advisor so I always want to look my best. Plus, I would wear the satchels too when I knew I would be meeting a new client. Please pick me. If not, keep that 🔥🔥🔥🔥 content coming.

[@TexCalhoun14]

Mahi has some great-looking products. I can't afford to buy one until (I hope) next year, but I would get either The Harvard or The Messenger bag in ebony or vintage brown. Either one would be great for moving my marketing project documents and my notebook computer to and from the office. It would take my professional look up a notch or two.

[@angelr.4882]

Awesome and great looking MAHI products making it hard to choose from, My 2 favorites are the messenger and the Yale clip up bags any color looks great, working at the VA hospital and having to meet and help patients and or their family members daily any of these 2 bags would definitely help me keep my daily planner and paperwork needed handy at all times on the go not to mention it helps you look professional.

[@samlayan7540]

Please Mr.Antonio you should be add Arabic translation for Arab fans please Mr

[@Searly255]

I'm glad you mentioned the part about the back problems having a bag over one shoulder can cause. Messenger bags were a trend when i was in college in the 2000s (bear in mind how heavy laptops were back then) You'd be amazed how many people from those college years now walk with a lean. One of my friends at the time used to load up his messenger so heavy in fact that his shoes wore away on the left side, not the heel like usual.

[@aaronho01]

I'm a student and I've always been a messenger bag guy, the great thing about it is that I always stand out hence everyone are wearing backpacks. I even get compliments for my bag and it's such a conversation starter.

[@joaqincastro5613]

I'm gonna go with a satchel much much stylish, its good for day to day work but for adventure of course back pack

[@BH-ue6cy]

As an older professional, it is time to upgrade my "briefcase" as it has not aged well. Regardless if I am selected or not, I feel that the Harvard would be the best fit for me. I wanted to also thank you for the great content and for the advice you put forward in your videos. Seasons greetings to you and your family and continued success into the New Year and beyond.

[@ADM191168]

I would love to have a black Harvard style briefcase so i can gift it to my dad so he can use it in his new job!

[@JoshLenn0n]

@@Darkest_Soul_187 If you watched the video he told you to comment which bag and why for a chance to win it :)

[@charleszhao312]

Personally, the City Backpack and Classic Backpack 3.0 in black will probably be a great go to. Since I'm still a student, it's a lot more practical holding on my supplies and carrying it throughout the day. Also since it's leather, it carries more acceptance in a work environment that might look down upon a stereotypical backpack.

[@matthewream3290]

Hi Antonio, I’m glad you mentioned the health factor of backpacks. As a tall guy with a long back, after carrying briefcases and messenger bags for years it certainly does cause some significant shoulder pain and posture problems. The nature of my work involves travelling between different offices, and often on track in the railway corridor or to rail workshops, so a backpack is definitely the much better option. The city backpack you were showing in the video would have to be my favourite, its versatility and stash pockets (there’s nothing worse than trying to find your wallet or a pen in a hurry when its buried at the bottom of your bag) certainly makes life easier for people in my line of work. I love that with the handle, in more formal settings or when you are wearing a suit it can be carried and blend in just as well as a briefcase, yet still fits in and doesnt look too formal when I’m in hi-vis and a hard hat!

[@jesusmacias8918]

The classic backpack 2.0 is an absolute killer, specially to have a light trip to a small town or a day at the country side

[@apocolypse1021]

If I had to choose my favorites, the harvard in the Vintage brown is my favorite! The perfect size to be versatile, and the style is on POINT! The Columbus, looks like a bag that can be taken everywhere, grab and go while looking good! Would love something like this!

[@justinbnguyen]

As a young professional, I'll get myself a black leather briefcase for that professional and low-profile/minimalist look that can go with any outfit.

[@donjuan7193]

Love the Yale clip-up or Classic Satchel in vintage brown, both look so professional and sleek and have that short-drop carry handle. I'd pair it with a navy blue suit/tie/pants, white shirt, and brown Oxfords (rounds out the colors pretty nicely). Applying to medical school this upcoming year, a leather briefcase really steps up the interview game and sets the professional vibe in clinical years and beyond!

[@danswindell5446]

I've had bad experiences with backpacks as I used to fill them up too much and now I have a bad back. So to rectify this, I only use messenger bags and briefcases. My messenger bag is very old, made of canvas, and is falling apart, although it was never very appropriate for my use. I'm an artist and need to carry my portfolio and sometimes prints and original artworks with me, so my carry is always rather light. That navy messenger on MAHI is one of the nicest looking messenger bags I have ever seen! And would definitely make a good impression when trying to make a sale. It looks very professional and is what I'm currently missing from my pitches. Great video as always Antonio!

[@michaelweinstein1260]

I am a 62 yo financial professional. I have a McKlein Harrison partners briefcase I carry when I have an appointment. I also have a McKlein Cumberland backpack I carry when I will be in the office. Briefcase more professional when in suit and tie client facing. Backpack more functional.

[@davidbanner425]

This guy is thorough! Good video as usual!👏🏽👍🏽💯🔥

[@mikemontesa3181]

Good info, Antonio! I never thought much about the differences between bags so it's cool to hear the distinctions. I'm a fan of the satchels, particularly the Messenger and the Harvard. The bags I've owned have almost always been nylon, but leather? Classy.

[@relaxingvideos322]

Great video Antonio.

[@philipbacani9400]

Alas! The vid i have been waiting for. 😁

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Awesome! 😁

[@davidguerrero9270]

Antonio, thank you for this video, I have learned a great deal! I carry a hard side leather briefcase daily for work and love it; as you say it requires you to decide what's important to pack, requires prep and planning for the day ahead, and limits the carrying of unnecessary items. I thing the Yale clip up or the Harvard are absolutely fantastic and applicable to entirely different scenarios. Thank you again for the information and the opportunity!!

[@deonnyates]

If I had a choice, I'd pick the Classic Messenger bag in Vintage Brown. I would use it to carry my laptop to all my meetings. I wear a lot of neutral tones so a brown bag would suit my style fantastic. Love the Channel and all the advice! By watching this Channel, I have been able to grow my style to make me look distinguished and gentlemanly!

[@cpdemers01]

I’ve always carried a leather briefcase - soft-sided - for work so I made sure I bought one I really liked years ago and it’s only improved it’s look over time. Leather ages well. For an overnight trip though, or just running around town on the weekend it’s hard to beat the backpack. Stylish, sport and functional I can throw essential toiletries in there and be good to go wherever I am. That said - the briefcase is someone I really like.

[@jayanthkg5209]

Thanks for the information. It's really helpful in making decision

[@alandormire4587]

One thing I would have liked in Mahi’s on-line catalog would have been some more pictures from different angles and showing the bags opened up. When I shop in person, I would look at this way as it helps me decide if the bag would meet my needs. Of the satchels shown, I think my preference would either be the Harvard in either tan or brown, or the Classic Satchel in brown.

[@damianvosloo2956]

I definitely agree that use is the main determiner as a University student I need to carry a lot of books so a backpack just makes more sense.

[@patricklockhart3695]

After looking through all their bags, I would have to choose the Harvard satchel with the vintage leather. I am a Marine Corps veteran currently using my GI Bill to get my degree in business economics from Wright State University. I’m almost done with my bachelors and will be starting my masters program after that. I am trying to up my style in preparation for my masters program and the business world. The Harvard satchel looks functional for both school books and as a professional post school work bag. The vintage leather option would look amazing with my navy, charcoal, and light grey suits.

[@OfficialNewAndImproved305]

Thanks for the discount code!

[@carlosbocanegra8056]

Great video txs

[@mcrb1776]

The classic duffel in navy looks awesome. Subtle style, perfect for a surprise weekend getaway with my wife.

[@witchking8306]

[@dominijerzboi]

Hi Antonio. I commute via public transportation into NYC. My work in environment dress ranges from business casual with no tie to smart casual and sometimes casual. What kind of bag and/or material of bag do you recommend or suggest? Would an all leather briefcase or messenger bag/satchel be over the top for my professional needs or should I go with a hybrid of leather and canvas or nylon when it comes to the aforementioned bags? Thanks for the help shipmate!

[@colin7021]

The Raleigh looks like it would be the perfect size for my weekly travel for work!

[@fernandogaspar7162]

I would use the vintage brown classic backpack for college I just graduated high school and since I upgraded my wardrobe I know the classic backpack can elevate my style on campus.

[@YuriYeleyko]

I always had a sentiment to a leather duffel bag (but never owned one:) These from MAHI look awesome!

[@FreemanRobinson]

Antonio, I'm a frequent watcher of your channel and love your styling ideas. Thanks for great consistent content. My first choice is the Harvard, it definitely suits me, I'm an older gent and prefer classic styling. My second choice is the Messenger. Both bags are beautiful and I'd be delighted with either selection.

[@bG1nSan3]

A vintage brown messenger and Classic brown leather backpack is all I'd need to be stylish. They'd fit both my casual and more classy / professional outfits, since I absolutely love mixing blue and brown colors. Both professional and eye pleasing !

[@jaje69]

I love The Classic Satchel and The Harvard in vintage brown. I'd use it when I return to University as a computer engineering student (combination of electronics engineering and computer science). I'd sport it daily with primarily denim jeans with a polo shirt or short sleave button up shirts. I love the channel. Definitely going to use the advice from this channel to rebuild my waredrobe for my career change and going back to school. Use the opportunity to reinvinte myself, and my waredrobe and style.

[@felipevital8432]

I'm going for the briefcase "the harvard" because I ve heard that increases your chances to get into the university and "the nomad" backpack because is a travel bag, which I will use to visit Australia to check if vitaman products are made there, because they are out of this world.

[@sylmg]

The Classic Duffle or The Overnighter. I take a lot of weekend trips and and my old Reebok duffle definitely needs an upgrade.

[@joseguilhermesantos7148]

Antonio! Please could you tell me what capacity the mahi city backpack has? Do you think its like 17 liters? Thanks you're awesome!

[@donaldstewartii5556]

I am a backpack guy for the most part. My grandfather was a WWII vet in the Army Airforce so I have a messanger bag specialty made for times when I need to impress. I love backpacks for the versatility and durability. Great for travel and work. It doesn't hurt my back and I love the look of the leather and canvas backpacks on Mahi's website. Love RMRS!

[@Nevill17]

This is great! As a young professional about to set out into the workforce (and to protect my laptop against our brutal Canadian winters!) the Darmouth (brown) or Oxford zip-up (brown) satchels would really up my game and match with my brown Anson belt and Thursday Boots! Thanks Antonio!

[@donyoung2185]

I prefer the satchel, it suits my needs, also it’s versatile.

[@LeafyLevi]

Hey Antonio! the classic brown leather backpack looks amazing! I will be going to university early next year and am actually planning on getting a bag so perfect timing as always! the backpack would be amazing but i also love the look of the harvard and the dartmouth satchel, i feel like i would be able to wear some great clothes to pair with it while im out for the day studying, and of course the main reason would be great for carrying all my papers and books. thank you so much for helping me over the years with my fashion and getting better self confidence.

[@danielnilson6115]

I looked at Mahi and going through it I saw the Classic Backpack 3.0 and I definitely would wear that to my college classes for extra confidence!

[@Germanicnoble]

I would go for the Messenger, the Yale or the Harvard in vintage brown. I like the sleekness & simplicity of the first 2, while being more versatile than the laptop bags. With the Harvard, I like that it has extra storage, but it’s constructed in a way that the other pockets don’t stand out. Also, the darker brown colour gives a professional look without appearing overly formal. One could have the bag in professional and nonprofessional settings and look good without appearing out of place.

[@chrisgk7494]

Just out of university a messeger, in brown, would be a nice upgrade. Just having an accessory like that can make you more stylish instantly.

[@jamieb4713]

Love the look of a briefcase but love the uses of the backpack!

[@Smartace308]

I would personally go with Black of either the City or classic. It’s great for everyday carry and not to overbearing for working around NYC. Keep up the amazing work and content! Stay safe happy holidays.

[@largol33t1]

I sometimes like being able to carry something in a briefcase configuration. My main bag is a Taskin One V9 backpack. I can hide the shoulder straps and attach a briefcase style sling to the side in less than a minute. Even better, when it opens up flat, I can keep the shoulder strap on and let the side drop open to reach anything inside. That way, it doesn't fall to the floor if there's a lot of stuff inside.

[@mstrcarnivore]

The backpack is my go to bag. My Old Backpack makes it easier to carry all my daily things I drag around from job to job and it keeps my hands free especially as I am drinking a coffee. Backpacks are much kinder to my shoulders, and easier to run with when I am late for work :), I would Love a new backpack to rock with my new wardrobe as I lost 70lbs this past year. By the way I love your channel I learned alot of things about trying to style the new me.

[@alejandrojohnson2374]

I am currently a college student who is constantly traveling. I need a new backpack, but I don’t need anything huge. I love the simplicity of the classic backpack 3.0. I love that vintage brown. It would go so nicely with my look. I also like the navy. It’s a nice color that would stand out from the crowd. The classic backpack would work well with my book load as well as my travel load!

Great video as always Antonio , I'm new to the Channel been watching for about a month now, I'm about to start in a new position in the VA Hospital I'm currently working at. Now instead wearing a uniform I'm required to wear business casual attire so watching your channel has help me a lot. PS. had to go on a shopping spree from shoes to pants ,dress shirts and ties and definitely Sports coats. The Yale Clip Up would definitely be my choice .

[@panagiotispina]

Love the classic and the city back pack. I would use it for my school because the one I have now is tearing apart. Love the content 💪

[@johnk3318]

The City backpack and the Harvard would be my top choices for daily life. I run two small businesses and would pair them both with my lifestyle. I’ve be watching your videos for a few years and really enjoy them. Keep up the great work!

[@olusojijoseph8722]

thank you Antonio,i am a fan of yours, I am backpack guy because its comfy for me and it hold my back very well though occasionally l try the briefcase but the switching of carrying it from left arm to right did not allow me to use it often.

[@hiredgoon93]

I've just seen this video at the perfect time. I've just completed my degree and I'm moving on to a more professional environment from a blue collar environment. Thanks to your video, Antonio, I now know that a leather satchel is the way to go for me!

[@cb4sn134]

I'm a therapist who work with young adults. So I generally dress casually, and like to look sharp. I got my eye on The Roma backpack in vintage brown, which I would wear with a black leather biker jacket, white T, cuffed blue jeans, with a black pair of Timberland boots. To finish the look, a black necklace, silver watch, a ring, and aviator Ray-Ban.

[@jobro524]

Love this channel I like the satchel for myself and the City back pack for my son. He really deserve an new back pack. Such a great son and student athlete.

[@franktistle]

I like the vintage brown Dartmouth. It has a clean look that would look good combined with either business wear or jeans with Chelsea boots. I always enjoy your video. They also have interesting takes on the topic.

[@gregoryquillin9926]

Thanks for the chance. Good video. I could try a The Compact Laptop Satchel in black if you can! Thanks Antonio

[@bradyrobinson4205]

I would rock one of the the vintage brown leather messenger packs. I'm a teacher and assessment management at a music store, so I'm always wearing either a suit or right now a lot of light weight sweaters with a collared shirt (maybe a tie). But I'm a huge fan of pairing navy or grey trousers with brown shoes and leather belt, so I feel the brown leather messenger bag would be great! I would do the black one when I'm wearing black belt/shoes!!

[@donwadecomoro8716]

As a young lawyer, I'm gonna go with the brown harvard satchel. Looks really savvy and very functional as well. I can bring in a laptop and some important documents. I also travel quite often I have to bring with me sets of clothing, and the matching brown classic duffle would really be amazing. People will really notice that you pay attention to detail and quality.

[@emiliov968]

I would have to choose the classic backpack in black cotton canvas. I really like the casual day-to-day usability. As a college student, this seem the right one for me. I've wanted one for a while, but they're a bit pricey.

[@adamdmitriev2086]

Love the Navy city backpack and the oxford zip up. When I'm flying, I like using a backpack to carry more items on the plane but for my day to day, I prefer something a little more compact that I can carry in my hand

[@johnmattan3273]

I’d love to have a nice leather backpack for school. The city backpack would be ideal, but the classic would definitely get the job done. I’ve been using this polyester Jansport since junior high, and going into college with a mature bag would be appreciated. Probably in navy or black, but I’d take any color as long as it’s not leopard print!

[@loukeller5652]

Antonio, I love "The Harvard" in vintage brown. I would use it to carry my laptop along with note books and the essential items I would need at work. The vintage brown would pair excellent with my double monk straps and would go well with any style of business casual. Excellent video, keep up the great work.

[@liorzisman2968]

Great video! I'm a software engineer in a big corp. I was thinking about getting a leather messenger bag to have a different feel and look over the big majority of people who just wear nylon/canvas backpacks, but I'm concerned about looking too formal or stand out in a negative way. People do not dress too officially here due to the warmer climate. Your thoughts?

[@osmondlacroix3617]

Good day Mr. Centeno, I hope all is well. Your advice has been priceless over the months and thanks it has been indelible as to how I carry myself. Just recently retired, in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and "The Harvard" would be a great present. To me it is a cross between the brief case and the backpack, the best of both worlds. You have influenced numerous men to take it to another level, continue to do so. Regards.

[@prithvirajdutta3346]

Loved the Harvard Briefcase with the vintage brown colour. Looks so good!! Will make someone look so much better with it!!! Wish I could have that one. Also thanks for such an informative video as always.

[@James-rq9qb]

Would love a dark business-style leather backpack like that classic model. I saved up for a leather briefcase because I graduated and am currently interviewing, and I knew if I could only have one I'd prefer the more formal option so that it suits interviewing at conservative offices. But sometimes it can feel a little too much for interviewing for creative roles or in more casual offices, and a minimalist leather backpack would be perfect for covering that spot in my wardrobe.

[@coreychoate423]

I love the style of Mahi's 'Ivy League' named messenger bags/satchels. The Harvard is incredible. Ideally, a vintage brown or tan one would be great for work (hospitality executive). As always, I appreciate the well-crafted videos.

[@jasonbrown2746]

The Classic Backpack 3.0 vintage color looks amazing. Wearing with khaki pants, navy blue polo, light brown shoes, silver and light brown belt and same for the watch :)

[@midslids3210]

I travel, avg 100 flights annually, use a professional backpack and one experience changed my outlook on backpacks; I attended an annual company meeting with only c-suite and upper level execs. The last day we all had our luggage in a room (all checked out of hotels) and the entire room was a sea of random luggage with attached professional black ballistic nylon backpacks. Not a brief or piece of leather in the room. I’ve got several leather briefs that never get used due to the rigors of my travel. I used the brief when I was in/out office daily but, for travel, it’s backpack all day, every day. Side note: good call on the security mention of people having access to your pack when it’s on your back. I’ve seen it happen.

[@fontiemcgregor922]

Man Maui's website is pretty nice that classic backpack 2.0 looks very nice hint,hint lol another great video happy holidays to you and your family

[@zoloronoa7432]

I'd go with a briefcase because I live in a very hot country and I'm tired of having a huge backpack sweat print on my shirt. I love the Harvard in vintage brown, it seems like a very capable brief case with lots of space for books and papers (I carry a lot of stuff). I would style it with a light grey suit, white shirt; a blue silk tie; oak coloured tasseled loafers and a brown belt with a brass buckle.

[@pollovrhd]

I would choose the classic duffle or the Columbus for the gym: easy to carry, enough room for your working out clothes and some pockets for shampoo, deodorant, towel, etc. I also found the Yale clip-up super practical for any type of job that has to move around with a computer, maybe a silicon valley developer that moves around the office, or a consultant that does 2 or 3 presentations a day: open, place your laptop, command your message and leave with class. You don't wanna be having to open and close many zips and locks.

[@dragoco9713]

I do prefer backpacks 🎒 The navy one from "The City Backpack" line looks gorgeous 😍 I'm in tailoring business, i love navy suits , and I imagine going to work, with the blue beauty , and a smile on my face. Thanks Antonio 😊 Both Maryland and Virginia

[@pedromaianeves2176]

Great vid Antonio! As a young medical doctor the classic City Backpack would be an amazing update from my hiking backpack that I've been wearing since my university years and with which I've had a ton unforgettable stories. For the color scheme both Vintage Brown or Tan would definity match my business casual look and my go to color pallete. So, if you have some spare backpacks just remeber that Portugal it's a poor country and it's hard for us to invest in quality style items 😅 PS: the way you edit your video if I had to guess I would bet the City Vintage Brown it's your favorite backpack from Mahi, as mine 😂

Hey Antonio...can you do a video on how you would pack a Mahi weekender? I’m deciding between the Overnighter and Colombus from Mahi.

[@stevenmatherne406]

I went to their site and signed in for Email. I like the Columbus bag as I travel 1-3X yr on 2-3 day trips great for carry-on plus there's the outside zip pockets for quick grab items. I also liked the City Backpack as it can be carried by the handle for business like a case. just a little more formal/classy than the regular backpack.

Definitely the Harvard! As a fan of your friend, Rafael from Gentleman's gazette. I want something more versatile and can fit a lot of things, but would still fit the gentleman look. Especially when face to face classes are back.

When I used to commute to work, a backpack was necessary. Now that I drive, satchel will do. I can carry my other essentials in a smaller bag that I can hand carry along with the satchel slung over my shoulder instead of having to haul everything in a heavy backpack

[@rogercurrie]

These bags all look great. I would go with the Columbus Weekender in vintage brown. I am planning a trip to Europe next year, with my wife to celebrate my retirement, and I will need a good looking bag. I always prefer dark brown because the patina looks better with time and a quality item like this should last for years.

Oxford zip-up in vintage brown, with a navy blazer, grey flannel trousers, and brown loafers. 💯

[@marleychronic8530]

If I live and work in NYC, a backpack is a must for your computer, files, and folders, for commuting, unless you're Uber-ing around, then go with the briefcase. Like I keep my hands free at all times and can't stand having my hand holding a bag the whole time. As for a messenger bag, I don't like the weight of my items all on one shoulder and if I need to run to catch the train or cab, the bag flops around, especially if I'm carrying my laptop.

The messenger or the classic satchel look the best to me. They have that classic look. Great for going back and forth to the office.

I'm a college student so, it's better if I stick to backpacks. I really liked The Classic Backpack (camel) and The City Backpack (vintage brown). I've chosen the light color version as I usually wear dark color clothes and the contrast will look good on me. By the way, great work that you are doing. I would love to hear you speak about Indian traditional clothes too, like kurtas, sherwanis, panjabis, etc. Do give it a thought.

Antonio, I found this video very entertaining and informative, and I really appreciate all the advice that you give out. I'm a relatively new viewer, and I find your story very inspirational for the fact that you are an Eagle Scout, retired military, and started your own successful business. If I had to choose between backpack and satchel, I would probably choose backpack because I've used backpacks the most in my life. I am currently a Star Scout, 17, finishing up the rank of Life, and I have always found backpacks very reliable, very useful when it comes to Scouting campouts, school, and any other daily life activities. As for the backpacks at Mahi leather, as much as the Explorer, Roma, and Nomad backpacks look, I would have to agree with you when it comes to the City backpack especially in the color of Mahogany. I am more of a darker color person and it seems more natural than black. Since I am a scout and understand the importance of taking care or items, and especially learning from my parents, I would probably use it for maybe Scout meetings at most, but not campouts and store things like a Patrol or Troop binder in it, and anything for an activity for the week like ropes for knot tying, maybe some fire starting tools...NO GASOLINE for sure!!! And I would use it for school carrying things like a binder, textbooks, lunch, water bottles, and overall it would be a great way to stand out from the rest of the crowd in general since I already stand out with a bald head, and unique outfit. Once after I graduate from school, and age out of Scouts, I would use it in college, right now I am not sure of what college yet, I am still thinking of some places. As for the satchel, I really want to start finding new ways to incorporate it in my life because I love how simple it is, makes you have to think about and carry less and holds more responsibility in not loosing it. I really like either the Messenger, or the Classic in brown. Especially the Classic. I would use it to carry homework and schoolwork around, maybe put a laptop in it if I had one of my own. Also one of the things I want to do in life is to write, to be a writer, and it would encourage me to take responsibility in where I bring it. I also have the intention to serve in the military like my parents, and you, unfortunately not the Marine Corps, but I will say Semper Fi to you Antonio, and thank you for helping to protect my future in this country. Again, I would use it in College after graduating from high school. Thank you again so much for making these videos, sharing about things in your life, and the suggestion of what we like in the comments. I am not asking you for a bag since I feel like that is the wrong thing to do around Christmas time and from my personal opinions. I just want to be grateful for what I have this year, and I hope that you have a great Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate with your family. If you were to send a bag, I would be extremely grateful and yet a little awkward about it since to me it would feel a little awkward, and have a great rest of your day Antonio. ~Gabriel Paige

Hey Antonio! I would choose "The City" and "The Harvard" bags in vintage brown for my choices. The city backpack would fantastic to fit all my university supplies and maybe some cool things for the kiddos I look after at a daycare once school is out. Plus it would be awesome aditiin to the brown leather jacket I have when riding my motorcycle. If I have a day off from work and just want the essentials (laptop and notebooks) the Harvard bag look perfect and absolutely gorgeous. Being a fair toned red head the brown bags are are a fantastic option and match my wardrobe or warm and bright colours much better! Let me know if you think I made the right choices! Keep posting awesome content, I've been hooked since I was 15 (five years)!

I’m liking the black or navy blue Classic Backpack 3.0 as a young adult returning to college to complete my Bachelor degree.Even though all of my future classes are with juniors I still want to stand out from the younger crowd.I believe being the mysterious and mature scholar with a leather backpack would suit me.

As a Software developer I would use nothing but the messenger or the oxford zip up. Currently I'm using the Dell laptop bag that came with the laptop. All black and brown colors look great.

I've previously bought from Mahi Leather because of you, very satisfied with the purchase!

[@linkinparkfan239]

I’d love the Harvard in either vintage brown or black, as a young airman in training I come across NCOs and COs all the time in my civilian attire and this will help tremendously in demonstrating professionalism even when off duty.
