So I've done a little searching and most of the threads I could find about men with handbags were from pre-2010 and women were like "ugh I would never date a man who carries a handbag!" so I decided it would be best to just create a new thread.
Now, before jumping to the comments section, please imagine I am your gay friend, rather than a straight potential date. (For example, my friends love my women's skinny jeans, but they wouldn't date a guy who wears them).
I have been thinking of getting a handbag. I currently carry a basic unstructed tote (with a shoulder strap), but it is material that soaks through when it rains, also it's unstructured and it's annoying to have a bag that collapses whenever it's not full enough! Although I'm a feminine guy, I don't want an overly feminine bag, however I do think the bag I get will be from the women's section (more choice and they look better in my opinion).
I was thinking I should get a black, structured, tote. I found one at Russell & Bromley called the LOLA tote. I think it would be perfect, and not look too feminine (carried in my hand, rather than the crook of my arm of course). What do you think?

EDIT: I have no idea why the pictures aren't showing? Anyway, the link to the bag is here
