Those of you who have one, show me.

I am looking to get one and rather then visiting every store in the mall i just rather nail it down to a few, and go from there.

Looking for leather, preferably
Must have a shoulder strap
Be decent size(can fit a laptop, but im not specifically looking for a laptop bag)
Around $100
Online retailers are okay too(but prefer seeing them in store)

You can go to etsy and get one custom made for you.

I have this Bianchi one I bought on a trip to Japan a few years back. If I was in the market for one now locally I'd probably go for a Timbuk2 or a Chrome bag, I use mine when I'm commuting on my bike though.

Check out Fossil

http://www.fossil.com/en_US/shop/men/bag_styles/messenger.html?parent_category_rn=331249&departmentCategoryId=331209&Ns=p_msc4|0||p_weight|0&Nso=&NRec=p_msc4|0||p_weight|0&N=0

and if you go to their outlet store at crossiron you can get them for around $100 but not the latest ones posted on their site.

I have something like this, except mine has two backpack straps and I removed the shoulder strap. It's been used daily for almost 16 years.

Here's my actual messenger bag.

Men's Coach bag, leather trimmed. Large enough to hold laptop and accessories but not big like a duffel bag.

Sorry but i won't model it for you.

Sounds like beyond to me. OP asks for suggestions for a bag around 100 dollars, and there's recommendations for bags $300-500.

Cheap/decent option would be aldo/browns/spring or that type of shoe store. They all have "fashionable" ones for like $50

That's because you can't really buy that bag for $100. The nylon bags usually sell for $80 so good luck.

Glad you posted this! I have been looking for a nice leather duffle bag for 2-3 day trips and it looks like they have the perfect one.

I really don't care if you have a laptop shoulder bag or a spaghetti strap Prada leather messenger bag to put your tampons in, but I instantly thought of this picture
