Men carrying a purse or handbag

[ZoeyZoo]

LOL but we are all purse addicts here~!

I think the bag is nice - but I think its too small on him - but that's just me.

That's what i was thinking. It looks too small on a guy. A larger messenger bag would have looked better.

Kuddos to the guy for being brave enough to use a man bag for something other than a laptop.

 

[Vidalita]

i say nay.

I think it looks great. Most brands have a small version of a messenger style that they classify as a man's bag (I was just looking at one from Burberry). A lot of men carry a camera bag, which is just as small (only not as slim), so I don't find this unusual or odd at all.

Wow, we're the only two "yay" votes so far! Maybe I was having a moment of "any guy who wears a purse I would wear automatically gets an A!"

I really thought it looked good and effortlessly cool. I loved that it wasn't your typically big messenger bag.

I'm sticking to my guns on this one! It looks good!
(But then again, my husband says I always try to dress him a bit too flamboyantly. I like men who aren't afraid to step outside of the neutral zone.)

Lol, I don't know... there is something hot in general about a guy who will carry that. I love guys with style!

 

[maedchen]

I say nay. Somehow guys with bags smaller than a messenger bag just screams tourist to me - even if they're obviously not (like in your case)!

 

[simpleplan]

nay, too small for his build.

 

[boobeary]

Not bad, but I don't like quite a few man purses in general. That said, I am looking for a nice smaller messenger bag for my SO (that's not so man pursey).

 

[cgsprings]

Men and bags = IMHO!!!

 

[GerGirl]

Nay. Way too small plus I'm not crazy for men w/ bags in general.

 

[fabae]

It's not big enough for him to be carrying books or a laptop; it looks like it can only handle what most men just put in their pockets, which makes me wonder....I think it's a nay.

 

[MonicaM]

I'm not a big fan of man-bags..... I dont know why.

Lib, this is an OK question for this forum- it's not a strictly Gucci-related question, just that this guy happens to be wearing a Guc

 

[[[WEE-YiN__XO]]]

Hehe
In my opinion I say Nay.
A Joey from friends moment, Joey wants a bag, but Rachel just isn't having it
Emma

I have tried and TRIED to get my boy to carry one of the cool new man bags. Diesel makes some great ones. And i love all the bags by Campomaggi (two below)... They are in the MEN'S dept at bloomies but I would totally carry them happily myself!

But he's always like 'it looks like a purse!'

I think his main objection is soft leather rather than a hard sided briefcase. But that's the point!

just wondering if any of your guys have a bag they are not ashamed to carry. (Besides the traditional backpack or briefcase!)

 

[Ms.Lizardo]

In one word.......No

 

[Spielberg1]

grin. if its good enough for indiana jones it's good enough for my man but he does NOT agree with me. yet...
