Salvatore Ferragamo l Manhattan 1 Briefcase
By admin on May 24, 2010 in Handbag News
At at time when the economy is so volatile and retirement seems like a fantasy-like state one would only hope to find in Never-Never-Land, it seems almost wrong for me to be drooling over a bag that costs $1,900. No bailout package would ever take pity on me so I can buy a bag. Well, a man bag, that is. When I started with the man bag posts, I didn’t think I would actually find anything I’d absolutely love. After all, they are man bags, and they’re really not for me so it doesn’t matter, right?
Wrong. I do want my man to look good and when I first laid my eyes upon this Salvatore Ferragamo Manhattan 1 briefcase, I could totally see Mr. Baggage Claim swinging this beauty on his way to work. Being a lawyer isn’t necessarily the most glamorous work, I tell ya, but at least he can look good doing it. What do I love about this briefcase? Through many inspections of briefcases, I realized that top zips are much more convenient and practical than the flap tops. While the flap tops tend to look classier and more formal, I just can’t imagine carrying a briefcase around by its top handle (which is typically attahed to the said flap top) and then awkwardly cradling the briefcase to fish for something inside should the need arise. I also like the abundance of side zipped pockets for documents and folders lawyers are known to carry around.
The only remaining question (other than the fact that I don’t have that much cash just lying around under my bank of mattress) is whether or not it comes with a shoulder strap. The Manhattan 1 briefcase comes in hickory (fancy people’s word for brown) or nero (Italian people’s word for black) and is available at Neiman Marcus for $1,900. Honey, I love you, but not that much. Unless I win the lottery.
