    is there such a thing as a cool man bag?

    any ideas how to make a man bag cool? mr. r has been bugging me for a while now that he definitely needs a small bag to carry his iPhone, 2 sets of keys and his wallet around. the pockets on his pants are just not good enough. now it's my turn .. my task is to make him a bag. and when i think of a man bag, i just don't have a positive image in my mind. but not doing anything does not seem to be an option either .. inspiration PLEASE :)

    Hi Ariane,
    ganz schnell, bevor ichs wieder vergesse:
    check this out: http://www.tausche.de/ - vielleicht einfach Export-Deal für Australien mit denen machen? :-)
    Herrentaschen: eineindeutig: http://www.freitag.ch/shop/FREITAG/page/frontpage/detail.jsf
    Idee: vielleicht einfach coole Taschen aus Europa importieren, Taschen-Shop aufmachen, und sobald es halt Deine Songline-Taschen auch gibt, mit ins Sortiment...
    LG Kristin

    thank you for the links :-) i checked out tausche bags when i was in berlin in october. nice bags, but not exactly what i had in mind for my bags - they use all new material. regarding importing i had a chat at a business networking coffee this morning. if you add all the cost of importing, customs etc you eat up your whole retail margin, making it much cheaper to get the goods straight from the source. in addition everything you order from overseas below $1,000 and get shipped here is tax free .. hard to beat that :-(

    crafted from re-used australian materials, songlines' products inspire you to explore their past and create their future ... bags with a story. the start of the journey.

    the name 'songlines' was inspired by the dreaming tracks of indigenous australians, which are invisible paths across the land (or, sometimes the sky) which mark the route followed by a localized 'creator-spirit' during the dreaming. The paths of the songlines are recorded in traditional songs, stories, dance, and painting ... I want my bags to pass on similar stories :-)
