First and foremost Happy Father's Day to all you amazing daddies out there!! My dad deserves a ton of appreciation and love today- he is amazing. Problem with my dad is that he is impossible to shop for. Designer anything is not his style. I wonder every year what to get him and he ends up with the same thing from everyone in the family, new work shirts and ties and sometimes a new suit. So dad, if you are reading this, please let me know what I can give you as a gift, you are impossible to shop for!

I have found a gift that is probably as far away from something that my dad would like as they come, but it is worth a manly try for some other amazing men out there. Paul Smith has quirky bags that may appeal to many men. Vlad for one loves motorcycles. It is not that I don't think motorcycles are cool; it is that the safety factor terrifies me. So as long as I have any say in it, the closest Vlad will get to owning a motorcycle is this bag. The Paul Smith Triumph Messenger Bag is designed from woven canvas with leather trim and bright purple cotton canvas lining. The clincher is the photo image of a Triumph motorcycle on the front and back of the bag. This messenger bag has an adjustable shoulder strap and interior zip pocket and slot pocket. Honestly, I think this bag on a guy would look metro but could also be so handsome. Measuring 19" x 12" x 4.75", buy this trendy thing for your man (or Dad!) for $420 through eLuxury.

I really wanted to get the Paul Smith Mini Cooper Messenger bag, but it sold out on eLuxury before I could fit it in my budget. It would've been perfect for carrying around on trips in my new MINI. But alas...

This one is cute for vintage motorcycle loving dads. But that's not my dad at all.

Very wise, Megs!

In the UK, Casualty (ER) doctors call motorbike riders 'organ donors'!

Love the bag!

Unfortunately, I don't think my BF would carry one, though.

I got him the Paul Smith Blue Bristol brown leather wallet, a few years ago (which I love!) and he seems to like it...I find, with most men, it's really hard to tell what they like!

I really like this bag. But I'd rather have a real motorcycle.

I like the bag, but my husband will tell me he'd rather have the real motorcycle!
