Modern life can make it very difficult to find the perfect men's bag. We have so many facets to our lives now: gym, travel and varied working environments to name but a few hurdles. It's almost impossible to find one universal bag, but you can get pretty close. Copenhagen-based Mismo manufactures refined bags for men and they come in all shapes and sizes. A commitment to using high-quality materials and a mixture of traditional and modern crafting techniques leaves Mismo with a collection of canvas bags and men's leather bags that promise to see you through any obstacle.
A good place to begin your search for the ultimate bag is with the colour. Navy bags are always a good choice. It's dark enough to cover most dirt marks but light enough to add an extra angle to your ensembles.
Men’s crossbody bags
Mismo Navy / Dark Brown Belt Bag
After a brief discussion, we deemed Mismo's Belt Bag fit for the crossbody bag category. That said, it's ultimately whatever you want it to be. Built around a 140cm-long belt strap made of bridle leather, this small men's bag can be worn a number of ways. It features one main compartment with two inside slide-down pockets, one large foamed pocket for a phone and a smaller one for miniature valuables within. It's also made of waterproof hard-woven nylon – this may well be the perfect companion.
Mismo Piscine / Black Fly
Mismo's Fly is an adjustable crossbody pouch for men which contains multiple compartments for carrying your daily essentials. Thanks to the strong Italian double-bonded, jacquard nylon, this bag is extremely strong as well as looking amazing. The subtle water-effect is the main focus of this bag, making a quiet statement in outfits.
