It was in middle school that I first begged for the ever popular basic black Kate Spade shoulder bag. When I got it, I wore it until the edges were frayed and everyone else “had to have it.”

Years later I find myself eyeing Jack Spade. What’s the appeal? The slanted straps. It makes it easier for the messenger bag to sit on the hip, across the back, or dangle from the shoulder. Who says that a woman can’t wear a mans bag?

For some other wearable men’s bags by Jack Spade…

There are also some fantastic men’s bags at Banana Republic. The leather is luxurious, the prices are doable, and they wear over time like a pair of Carhartt khakis…
