Now these are what I call real men’s bags:

Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Duffel

Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Laptop

Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Satchel

Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Aviator

Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Messenger

These duffel, laptop, satchel, aviator, and messenger bags with adjustable shoulder/crossbody straps are all part of the Aaron Barak Classic Collection. While the Aaron Barak company has only been around for less than 5 years themselves, these age old designs make them seem like they’ve been around for much, much longer.

The entire collection was inspired by the Industrial Revolution and the tireless, hardworking craftsmen of that era. Some, like the laptop bag and the aviator bag, are even printed with real clippings from 19th century newspapers. The resulting look, as you can clearly see, is very masculine and rugged, but the genuine Nickleby premium leather elevates this collection to an an entirely different level of sophistication.

It elevates the price tag too – the cheapest bag in the Aaron Barak Classic Collection is the Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Laptop which retails for $574.95. The most expensive is the Men’s Aaron Barak Classics Aviator, which goes for $1,074.95.

Still, quality and beauty come with a price tag and with these Aaron Barak bags, you do get what you pay for. Aaron Barak offers full refurbishment on all of their bags at their Authorized Aaron Barak Repair Center in New York.

These bags were built to last a lifetime. Given their timeless design and perennial style, they just might last a little bit longer than that.

Red is the color of love. But it is also the color of power. There’s nothing like a red bag to show people you’re sexy, confident, daring, and definitely in control. Besides, it’s a great piece of accessory that you can use as a highlight. There are days when all you need to brighten up your look is a red bag. And this basically explains why every girl should have at least one red bag in her closet.
