Ben’s Bag Edit: 7 Designer Bags to Cop for Dad this Father’s Day

This Father’s Day, skip the socks and sentimental mugs. Get him something he’ll actually carry. Think luxury bags that mean business (and style). From structured silhouettes to understated cool, here are seven picks that show you know exactly what he deserves.

Goyard Saint Léger Backpack  

“I was in Singapore for work recently, and during a team dinner, someone walked in carrying a Goyard backpack that immediately caught my eye. I’ve always associated Goyard with their iconic totes, but this backpack completely shifted the narrative. I loved that it had both classic straps and a top handle, so you could switch it up depending on your mood. And the best part? It folds down flat, making it the kind of bag that slips effortlessly into your suitcase without any fuss.”

Dior Privé Tote bag

“When it comes to luxury bags, Dior consistently delivers, and the new Privé Tote bag lives up to that standard. It features two front slip pockets—perfect for stashing your keys and wallet—plus a removable zip pouch for added convenience. Other than that, the Dior Oblique baby suede interior feels sumptuously soft and cushions your delicate items to keep them scratch-free.”

Rimowa Cross-Body bag  

“This Rimowa Cross-Body bag is easily one of the most striking pieces I’ve seen. With its hard-edged aluminium shell—an unmistakable nod to the brand’s iconic suitcases—and a smooth Italian leather strap, it feels more like a wearable sculpture than a typical accessory. Compact but cleverly constructed, it offers two compartments, a zipped pocket, and three card slots. It’s not just a bag—it’s a conversation starter.”

Prada Re-Nylon and leather backpack

“If sustainable style is your priority, Prada’s Re-Nylon backpack is an essential addition. Reviving a classic 1980s silhouette in recycled polyamide, it pairs eco-conscious materials with refined touches—from the leather handle and suede base to the signature enamelled metal triangle logo on the flap. Beyond its spacious main compartment, the backpack includes four external zip pockets and an interior zipped pocket for effortless organisation.”

Mulberry Antony bag

“Although Mulberry isn’t yet a staple here, the Antony bag deserves attention as a refined gift for the father with a keen eye. Crafted from buttery calf leather, it echoes the traditional Postman bag, elevated by the iconic Postman’s lock. Another plus is the broader strap, which adds to its bold aesthetic while ensuring a comfortable, secure carry.”

Louis Vuitton City Keepall  

“The Louis Vuitton Speedy might be the crowd favourite, but for those looking for a twist on a classic, the City Keepall fits the bill. This smaller sibling of the iconic Keepall comes in sleek Monogram Eclipse canvas, with inverted side panels adding a playful touch. Its size alone hints at impressive capacity, allowing you to carry everything you need without compromise.”
