If you happen to go to highstreet these days, there's loads of sailor bags flocking the stores in many versions and designs. Like River Island that does the top-zippered, to Aldo with a cross between a typical sailor bags and a rucksack. I like sailor bags coz they're much more practical than a normal duffel bag and easy to be carried around when you wanna do that laid-back travelling during a short weekend breakaway.
If last year Gucci did their version of sailor bag in canvas with leather trims, this time Versace has gone hi-fashion with their own versions. Beautiful pieces indeed especially the tan/cream one which I like the most. I like the flexibility of how you can carry the bag the way you wish coz the top handle is detachable and you can fix it to the side part to carry it like a typical duffel bag. Or sling it on the shoulders just like what the sailors do, since there is a shoulder strap. What I really like in any classic sailor bag is the drawstring opening - you don't have to mess around with any zipper should you wanna fill in something into the bag. Easy.
So, if you wanna do your high fashion thing with a sailor bag - Versace is definitely the choice! =)
