Boho

Jack Spade's bags exist for this man: aging boho creative, all black, New York, likes jazz, drinks white wine, does yoga.
It's the old guy version of hipster, but the Jack Spade bags - the cultural equivalent of the Moleskin notebook, the old boxing gloves in the attic, the Armani Exchange sweater that's just simple black crew neck but costs 300 bucks. Or other stuff sold in the margin ads of the New Yorker or at, well, J Crew.
But who else makes such frayed, bohemian yet office-safe bags for men? Not Mandarina Duck, not Kenneth Cole, not Tumi, not Manhattan Portage, not any of them
