The Hottest Handbags for Dads

Female: Talk about options with Father’s Day less than a week away
you're probably wondering what you're going to get dad, why do
we wait unto the last minute. Well Pamela Pekerman founder of
Bagtrends.com is here with the hottest Father’s Day accessories
for every type of dad. Hi Pam!

Pamela Pekerman: Hi!

Female: Nice to have you and why do we wait into the last minute. Can
you believe that?

Pamela Pekerman: You know sometimes we think it’s so much easier to shop for the
mom because there's so many options you can do jewelry, you
can do accessories but you can do handbags for men just as long
as you know what type of dad you have or what type of brother-
in-law however the men is in your life. So we have outlined four
different styles of men and we’re going to start with the classic
CEO.

Female: So if you're dad is a business type, if he goes to the office every
day.

Pamela Pekerman: Exactly. He’s definitely sleek and sheik and looking for those
classic colors. He’s not going to do you know pop of pink
obviously. So we have these great briefcases, this one is from
Cole Hahn. It has a great pebbled leather finish so if he’s on the
go and running around it’s not going to scuff up. It retails for
795, very pricey but definitely an investment for the CEO.

A bit softer for the refined, finer CEO this one is from Coach. It
retails for under $500. Again, very expensive for the CEO, it’s
about an investment for a long term because these are bags he’s
not really going to change. He’s not like us; he’s not going to
change it every year.

Female: Not every season.

Pamela Pekerman: Yeah.

Female: But you can maybe get the whole family to chip in on one of
those bags.

Pamela Pekerman: Exactly, it’s something that maybe all the siblings chip in and
maybe mom comes in to the picture as well. And a little luxury
for the dad who is the CEO is collar stay from Links of London.
My husband actually tested these, they're quite fabulous. He said
they're very wide and very thick and they're very good. They
retail for $90 at Links of London store.

Female: And they’ll just keep your collar—

Pamela Pekerman: And they’ll keep your collar upright and you look fabulous when
you're in meetings.

Female: Okay, what if your dad travels a lot for work?

Pamela Pekerman: Okay for the jet setter you want to make sure he has garment
bags so this one is actually from Bodi which is an amazing
company. They do a lot of amazing pieces for the man on the go.
This one has a canvass body finish. It retails for under $300,
again pricey but these are pieces that you're not going to change
up every year even every five years.

Another great piece if he’s only going for 2 to 3 days, he doesn’t
want to check anything in because he’s always fast on the go this
sport sacks makes a great roller that retails for $150 at 24-incher
so it’s pretty much an all standard airline you can take it on the
plane.

This is probably my favorite. This is from Gerca, it’s a tie case
I'm obsessed. It retails for 225 and for the busy guy who’s
always traveling this is a very—this is the best, best gift I think
on the table.

Female: Your husband uses this?

Pamela Pekerman: My husband does. I stole his ties. This is a great piece definitely
for anybody who travels even if he comes to travel once or twice
a year it’s a great piece. Again, something maybe everybody can
chip in for.

Female: Exactly. So what if your dad is more of a creative type, maybe
these are a little too fancy for him.

Pamela Pekerman: Yeah if he’s a little bit quirky, maybe he’s an artist, maybe he’s a
rocker, maybe he’s a free lancer he has options in terms of prints.
Again, I would go with the sports type because you can do the
stuff all. It reached out for about $108 in any print. This kind has
a tacky print where you can do skulls, you can do collar. They
have over 100 options and definitely the sports sack.

Female: And they got the schools on this.

Pamela Pekerman: Exactly, this is from Yak Pak, it retails for $10 [Voice overlap].
Yeah 10 buck’s trifold wallet. Again 26 options, this one retails
for $10 and it’s a skull print. Again, something fun for the
creative dad.

Female: What if your dad is sporty? He likes to go out and hang with the
guys play basketball.

Pamela Pekerman: Hang with the guys so he definitely needs a gym bag. Again Yak
Pak, this is the same as the wallet it retails for $20. It comes with
the—

Female: 20 bucks?

Pamela Pekerman: 20 bucks and it comes with a lifetime warrantee. So if anything
happens to it you can turn it to Yak Pak and for $20 they’ll send
you a new one. Now if the dad is nautical, this is from Coach it’s
their stripe vintage taut it retails for $250. Really great, he’s
boating, he likes to be outdoors during the summer this is for the
sheik sporting dad. And he would probably be having his board
shorts from Coach as well which reach up for $128 and if he’s on
the beach on the go playing volleyball this is for the sporty dad
he’s going to love it.

Female: Yeah your mom is going to like those too your dad is going to
look cute.

Pamela Pekerman: Yeah.

Female: Thanks so much.

Pamela Pekerman: Thank you.
