Casem, the JCrew actually looks nice! One thing to remember, of course is that there is a good chance that it looks infinitely better on the picture. I've always wondered with mass-market stores about how the hell can they photograph shit so well?
Maybe you should go for a basic black Manhattan Portage messenger bag? You can remove the red label with a razor blade. I hear they are pretty durable, and you won't feel bad tossing it around.

I can vouch for Manhattan Portage's quality. I bought one of their basic messenger bag when the twin towers were still standing and NYC was the only place you saw messengers bags (yes they were fashion forward at one point :) ) and I still use it almost daily. In fact I've grown so found of it that I'll have trouble replacing it with something else when the time comes. Meanwhile it was tossed around, vomited on (yeah I know), forgotten in bars, lugged around in planes and airports and casually tossed about in any possible way and it's still going strong. When my stuff survives a certain amount of timeand still gets worn I tend to grow so attached toit that I don't want to replace it and endupwearing it till it's in shreds (you should see my slippers), I guess that makes me an anti-consumerist fashion whore.
saw a bunch of jas mb bags at Barneys coop in miami, was pretty much the only decent thing they had [8-)]
the student messenger was nice, so was one of the duffels but it didnt have a shoulder strap, otherwise I would've bought it right away.
