The major claim to fame of Brooklyn Industries is its specially designed collection of messenger bags, backpacks, handbags, totes and laptop bags. But since its inception in 1996, the company has grown to include a line of clothing and other accessories for men and women, inspired by its overall sensible but stylish approach to life. Parkas, military jackets, boyfriend shirts and sleek tuxedo blazers are available for casual or work wear. You might also explore its hip line of graphic T-shirts. This Back Bay store opened in 2010.
