Every man these days needs a functional, durable, and fashionable bag. It’s a growing reality that it is now a necessity for us working males to carry around laptops, blackberrys, cell phones, and office papers. A casual bag isn’t just an accessory for females anymore! In comes Jack Spade to successfully fulfill this every day need. Jack Spade, the male complement to the Kate Spade brand, provides classy, stylish, well-designed bags for work and every day use. Their product offerings include everything from classic messenger bags to briefcases to weekender travel bags.

“We’ve always appreciated companies like J. Press, Brooks Brothers, Levi’s, Barbour and even Oxxford Clothing for being great companies that make useful items for men. The products these companies manufacture have style because the designs have a reason for being. With these products as inspiration, we created JACK SPADE. We want to return to this approach, once again offering men items that represent both honest, thoughtful design and practical purpose.”

The things that initially drew me to Jack Spade were indeed the small details that brought out the practicality of these bags. The fine silvery buckles and zippers added a stylish twist to my Greene St. messenger, this combined with the multitude of useful pockets made storing little gadgets easy and accessible. Furthermore, the bag felt very natural hanging over my shoulder which just exemplifies the thought that went into its design.
