Default Man Purse ... or Man Sack

Saw this on a local blog, I thought I would share:

Now I know this topic seems quite questionable because A LOT of Men like to schlep their belongings in a ‘stylish’ carrier, but what makes the bag seem so ‘pursey’? Well lets begin with the most basic features: size and function. These two areas are the most important things when a Man starts looking for his new duffel. The chosen sack simply must fit all of our sh*t that we must bring and also stand up to the tormenting future to come. The second area of concern is styling. Do you pick the most durable (which is most likely the less attractive) or the Ferrari of bags because of it’s designer label? Answer is simple: Choose the bag that fits your lifestyle or just buy more bags! For example, there’s no need to lock in $1300 bucks for a bag thats only purpose is to sit below the plane while you anxiously try to ignore the crying baby next to you. Instead buy a more durable and stylish version from a renowned luggage maker like Tumi.



But maybe you have enough tote candy for the plane and need something for work. In today’s working world a lot of STUFF is taken from home to office, office to home, etc. Us being a ‘fashion inspired’ blog we will guide you on your way to picking the best Man Sack. Now let’s consider some great bags that allow use for different situations.

1. Work Inspired Briefcase from D&G For Men



Sleek styling and durable Leather makes this bag something to talk to about. It’s cool, simple, and provides plenty of necessary ‘baggage.’

2. The On-The-Go Messenger from Tod’s



It’s all in the bag Man! This cool sling bag from Tod’s offers comfort and durability with the name to back it up. Tod’s messenger bag makes a quick trip into a worry free one because everything can fit on board.

3. The AMAZING DUFFEL! from Salvatore Ferragamo



Now this bag is what makes our knees weak as it is a timeless piece to be used forever. Through the bad times and the good this bag will stand up for any occasion. A special thanks to it’s Italian maker is in order.

So when it comes to choosing your next bag remember that you could be the next victim of the ‘Man Purse’ travesty. Choose for function, durability, and most importantly to fit your lifestyle!
