Who doesn’t love the Herchel bag, the cotton canvas and leather accents make for a stylish and more importantly durable bag. The reasonable prices doesn’t hurt either. These bags are popular among college kids, as they even carry tablet and laptop sleeves. With the recent Stussy collaboration, it’s clear that Herchel is making the right moves.

Is money not an option? Or do you just like having high end accessories? Either way, when your personal assistant is holding your MacBook , or it isn’t in your Maybach, this would be a great option for you. This Doberman print canvas is similar to the other animal inspired pieces Givenchy has released. After all, a dog is a man’s best friend, right?

Speedo, ya know, that embarrassing mankini that your dad wears? They also make some pretty solid backpacks, that won’t break the bank. You may not be able to win gold medals like Phelps and Lochte, but you can sport some of the products that they endorse. And it’s pretty obvious, who can make a better water resistant bag, than a company who has made millions off of bathing suits.
