Davek Messenger Bag
Best for: Boy Scouts who earned their MBA
Details: Nothing’s sadder than a besuited man sulking through an unexpected downpour, a newspaper held futilely over his head. And wouldn’t you know, Davek, maker of luxe umbrellas, has a solution: Its laptop-ready Messenger comes with an umbrella in its own pocket, and it’s constructed from weather-resistant, strokably soft top-grain leather. In fact, it’s almost too soft — you’ll have to watch where you set down the bag for fear of scratches. But there’s no way you’ll harm its burly aircraft-aluminum flap buckle, which looks like it was stolen from a 747’s seat belt. [$495; davekny.com]
