dont know if this helps you at all, but my sister bought her friend a ted baker messenger bag for christmas from USC and it ws £44 (it was double price in the ted baker shop in meadowhall) May be worth checking to see if they've reduced it at all, but they did have some others that were really good

You're so very special, I wish I was special :dance:

Gap has loads of these 'man-bags'.

Just make sure your DH can take the inevitable flak!!

You could get one of the Duct tape ones. I'm informed they are 'funky' and there's 10% cashback through quidco.
