Committed to innovating in terms of design whilst keeping things super functional at the same time, it’s no surprise that the Fred Perry man bag collection is now one of the most popular in the UK.

1. Fred Perry Navy Twill Vintage Cross Body Tote Bag

Proving that you can make a tote bag look cool, Fred Perry have come up trumps with the Navy Twill Vintage Cross Body bag. Styled in navy blue with the option to carry your goods via the brown leather handles as a tote bag or alternatively the long adjustable canvas strap as a messenger bag, this definitely scores full marks from us on the practicality front.

2. Fred Perry Black Checkerboard Flight Bag

Designed in a super shiny black PVC fabric, the Fred Perry Checkerboard bag takes the bog standard flight bag and turns into a must have designer item. Getting a big tick from us on the looks front it’s also brilliantly practical too coming with a roomy interior as well as with additional external pockets.

3. Fred Perry Contrast Barrel Bag

Looking for something a bit more stylish than your standard Nike or Adidas bag from the sports shop as your gym bag? Fred Perry have definitely come up trumps with the Contrast Barrel Bag.
