Reading various forums it’s clear the issue of ‘the manbag’ polarises opinion. The about-town types swear by them and the more traditional types prefer to be served by an extra pocket or two on their jackets.

Us? Well, we’re full on modern men and as such, an extra pocket or a rucksack (or an Aldi carrier bag) just will not do. Accessorise, girlfrien’.

When we got the nod to tell us Alkr had extended their expertise beyond laptop sleeves and iPhone cases we demanded to know more.

This is what we were told.

Alkr return, toned down and technical with some new product. Along with their Urban protective cases and sleeves, Alkr drop some fresh bag designs.

Covering most urban luggage needs, the messenger and briefcase are at first glance an understated departure for Alkr, known for their bright and colorful sleeves and cases. On closer inspection however, these well thought out and considered pieces reveal the usual flair you would expect from this fresh, up and coming brand. Both bags feature faux fur laptop compartment along with many other hidden details.
