Men's leather goods brands have always been brimming with imagination, offering collections tailored to the demanding demands of professional environments. For decades, the market was dominated by the classic hard-shell briefcase, which has gradually been replaced by lighter accessories better suited to our current needs.
So, what are the best men's business bags today, and which models should you choose to combine style and practicality? Arthur & Aston offers a brief overview of men's business collections.
Top men's business bags
While younger men often sport a patterned canvas backpack , the trend shifts once they enter the workforce. At this stage, many men abandon this accessory, considered too sporty and inelegant, in favor of models better suited to professional use . Men's business bags can then be divided into three main categories:
- The messenger bag : a style worn over the shoulder or across the body, in a vintage look, beloved by active thirty-somethings who love the bohemian spirit. Choose from leather for its elegance or canvas for its modern feel; you can find it in a classic style with two flaps or a more trendy zippered version.
- For men who want to stay stylish and need both hands free, the square backpack is the ideal choice. Spacious enough to hold a tablet, phone, and documents, the backpack transforms into a true business bag when crafted from high-quality leather. Some models feature a wide strap on the back, allowing you to easily slip your backpack over the handle of your trolley when traveling—a must-have for any trip!
- The briefcase is THE quintessential men's business bag. Rectangular in shape, with handles or a shoulder strap, structured and exuding elegance, it is often crafted from high-end materials. Laptops, documents, and other essentials for the busy professional find their place naturally in this bag, which is as practical as it is stylish. It's perfect for client meetings, working on the train, or keeping all your business essentials close at hand.
Arthur and Aston offer a wide range of men's business bags, combining refinement, quality and functionality.
Why choose a business bag rather than a classic bag?
Many men appreciate elegant leather goods and fine materials, whether leather or canvas, for their bags. Many also own several types of bags to meet their everyday needs : a briefcase for daily use, a gym bag for the gym, or a business bag for work. But why choose a business bag over a classic bag for men?
In reality, this primarily addresses the issue of interior space : the compartments and format of business bags allow men to carry all their professional belongings. Today, everyone travels with a laptop or tablet, chargers, one or more phones, and documents; all of which can exceed the maximum surface area offered by a standard bag.
Leather briefcase bags have therefore become essential items in men's leather goods sections: classic models, to be carried by hand or over the shoulder, available in many leathers and colours to suit all tastes.
