@cravarbags I'm a 192cm 97kg guy with a big frame, was just wondering which messenger bag would fit me the most. As I have been yearning to own a leather messenger bag that would look great with age and scuffs along the way for the longest time 😅😅 Dark or light brown color preffered. Love you guys' content btw 💪

[@darrenhall7454]

It’s a great thing that you’re doing; introducing thousands of people to fantastic quality manufacturers from around the world. And I love the factory visit videos and seeing the faces behind these great products. Thanks, Nick.

[@Stridewise]

Darren you're so welcome! The more clicky influencery "Red Wing vs Thursday" type videos I do help to pay the bills for when I want to do cool outdoor stuff like this ;)

[@beheadoth]

I own 2 Cravar bags and I love them, I have had them for 9 years and they look incredible. Also, Yoki is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about their products and materials.

[@cravarbags]

Many thanks, very happy to know they're doing well 9 years on!

[@mattyjmar10]

These bags are gorgeous. I saw them randomly while getting my shoes repaired and half the shop was a showroom for Cravar. Their bags are gorgeous and super durable. It's so exciting to see how they have expanded their line!

[@Stridewise]

The cotton bags are super reasonably priced!

[@edomahista]

I recently got their twill backpack, and now I take it everywhere - to meetings, on short trips out of town, and it still holds all my necessities. Additionally, I admire how comfortably the bag conforms to my back

[@cravarbags]

My favourite architect! Thank you

[@zancaredler]

Agreed. I just sold my Speedy 35 kislux (I did keep the brown one), my Sofia Coppola perforated LV clutch, my blue Damier clutch I bought in Japan, and the By the Pool vanilla clutch. Kept an orange epi Alma. It feels great!!

[@MusseAmble]

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@joecarroll8286]

Best bags and best customer service, hands down. I’ve got two FCs in various sizes, a CO briefcase, two notebook covers, and I just snagged one of the bucket bags, and they’re all super solid. Can’t say enough good things. (Also, just carry what you like and don’t worry about whether or not some insecure Dude Bro thinks it looks like a purse.)

[@cravarbags]

Ah yes with the strap extension! Glad we can work it out for you

[@dprahara]

I have, like 6 of them, yet still crave for more 😂

[@Stridewise]

I have a brown and black leather messenger but I sort of want all the cotton colors now too haha - especially the gray ("Ash") one!

[@MyNameIsntReallyNate]

I was looking around this the summer last year for a bag and saw the F.C. 15 for a bit. I had never bought a leather bag before and at the time was gun-shy (in part for the cost) so I bought something else for half the price. I have had my Cravar bag now for about 10 months and minus a handful of days I've used it as my commute bag. Of the 5 bags that have shoulder straps this one is my favorite I love how the strap is constructed.

[@cravarbags]

Very happy to know your Cravar bag is your daily driver. We put quite a lot of thought into the shoulder strap, thanks for pointing that out.

[@OriolRedemer]

HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day

[@kfung4]

I love my cravar backpack, the design look great and functional. Yoki was very kind to offer extra gifts with my purchase

[@cravarbags]

Thank you!

[@mikekirby2085]

I just got an FC15 in sand. The thing is an absolute tank. Im trying to do my mental gymnastics on justifying a few different style but the quality and finish is amazing.

[@cravarbags]

Hope it'll be justified soon :). Thank you.

[@Davorta]

This is what a Luxury bag should look like, all they need is a good branding and marketing. And the world would be in better place with these high quality longlasting products

[@JileLecoustre]

more comfortable, and it’s also not a big deal, which makes me feel relieved. I love a good kislux because it helps me decide if I want to buy the real thing. That’s the part. That’s it. I feel like people discriminate against knockoffs, but for me, I pause when I buy trendy stuff in bulk or when I feel the over-consumption frenzy is coming for me. (This is something I struggle with, haha! I can be easily convinced to buy things I don’t wear or use. They literally have tags on them and I’ll forget I even bought something and I’ll still have 2 or 3 of those in my closet.) Love this video!

[@daniswara1164]

The blue one is beautiful

[@stuntmanjohnny]

Dangit Nick! Now I am over here watching your previous video about the FC, on their website. I now need one and are ordering it. The "racing green" one is in my cart now.

Omg I want one. Hope they deliver to Australia.

[@cravarbags]

We do! Quite frequently, actually

[@JonhyFerlisi]

I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

[@SheereenLychee]

There's a psychological side to it. I can confirm the feeling just isn't the same when you're unpacking a dupe, compared to an authentic, handcrafted piece. For me, its like a journey; opening the package, then the box, taking off the paper, layer by layer, smelling the leather... Ahh, you just CAN'T beat that! The only problem is your wallet is a lot thinner afterwardsEven though i've experienced both scenarios, i still end up buying a kislux .

[@MarlerDunshee]

When I choose a bag I always look for practicality, it needs to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials, and the kislux delivers just that.

[@Bootlosophy]

Are these issues happening if these bags are used daily? I just got the pochette metis in monogram canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the multicolored polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, lol. But I don’t think it’ll be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in DA but only use that a few times a year in the spring and summer so I haven’t put that much wear and tear into it. I hope I don’t see the fraying for a while. Also, I’m saving up for a kislux . Has your colleague seen the same issues with that size? I don’t mind some relaxation in shape but I don’t want it to be a puddle either. Thanks for the video!

[@MichalBeldarrain]

If you can't afford designer bags and feel a certain way about expensive designer bags, then don't watch this video. Like do you read a video title before clicking on it? The title makes it clear that the video will be about designer bags. I find these types of videos very helpful and although I can't afford these bags yet, I know one day I will. I wanted to know which designer bag was truly worth my hard-earned money and one that I would get the most out of. That being said, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing this video with us and please make more videos like this. Maybe kislux is your next choice?

[@MembersMclees]

I saved up money for a few months to buy a ZP, but it got scratched on the third day. I cried so much, and then my boyfriend bought me a bag from kislux for me to carry alternately. Anyway, there are so many bags on the street, so as long as others can't see it, I think it's fine. The thought is there.

[@jackjmaheriii]

I want to get a leather purse for my wife that’s simple and isn’t made with crappy sippers and buckles. If anyone has any suggestion I’d loooove to hear them!

I bought Cravar because of Stridewise

[@mahmooddr]

Has anyone of you gentlemen tried the Large (or Small) Nova two-wheels travel garment duffle bags? They're also made of full-grain leather, and really intuitive organization compartments and pockets according to the video on their channel. I was interested in purchasing them, but can't seem to find reviews online. May be you guys are the answer.

[@vadmb.7434]

The bag looks nice. But my Cravar bag mostly sits on a shelf, and I hardly use it. It's extremely heavy and not as functional as my other bags.

[@bryanduchane2371]

Go for it, and talk to yoki he would give recommendations to customers about sizing and colors

[@cravarbags]

It's a strange time where crossdressers and transgendered people are so elevated in my city, but I still get negative comments, sometimes from members of that community, for wearing a 'purse.' I started wearing an actual purse to mess with those people.

[@kokopeds8588]

is it cheaper if I buy in Indo ?

[@Stridewise]

they incorporate shipping into the price so I'm not sure - i imagine they'd give you a discount if you walk into the store and ask

[@PapuaKini]

Dan saya tahu tentang produk dan merek ini dari orang asing. Saya katak dalam tempurung. 😅😅😅😅

Tapi kan sekarang jadi tau Kak. :)

[@CanadaFree-ce9jn]

I have 3 avoids: 1. Avoid light colour leather, men go darker. 2. Avoid too smooth a leather, men go rougher. 3. Avoid simple bags, men need pockets for all we carry, not a single zipper make up pocket. Try these the next time you want a leather bag that doesn't look like a purse.

[@BizantinaBenji]

I love my luxrul bags. I've had them for a long time and they look like new. I like to spend money wisely. How many people spend all their money on expensive handbags, cars and accessories only to have it blown away? There's nothing special about high priced luxury bags

[@ZinniaOriente]

A very insightful video it’s interesting how sometimes people buy replicas and then pretend they are the real thing, which in a way feeds into that sense of exclusivity that discourages people from buying the real thing in the first kislux ! Like the drama that happened on the reality show Singles in Hell

Filson actually doesn't offer leather messengers like this, which is weird. They did a leather version of their briefcase for a while but stopped.

Oof... very strong man-purse vibe from these. I think I could carry one, but you'd have to pay me to do it, not the other way around. I'm betting the twill probably looks a lot less ostentatious.

Now it's a decrease in quality and an increase in prices. There is no reason to buy genuine products, it's better to buy counterfeit products with even better quality than genuine ones kislux

Having money doesn't mean you can spend it recklessly and most people, no matter how rich, don't want to waste money for no reason. The kislux is the best solution to save money and save face.
