I've done that twice with my 13" pro in my B35. Can you squeeze in the 14" pro? Probably yes with the sides extended. It does become heavy and agree that it does put pressure points on the handles. Everyone is entitled to carry their H bags and use them as they please. These bags do not come with an instruction manual advising us not to use them in certain ways or T&Cs stating warranty could be voided if used differently. That's why there are H Spas after all. Do not let our input stop you from wanting to do what you love, if you want to carry your laptop in style kudos to you!

Maybe this belongs in the unpopular opinion section, but I haul my work equipment (laptop, notebook, phones, leather portfolio). Only con is that it gets very heavy (popular opinion), but I haven’t seen much - if any - stretching on the handles… which could be replaced anyway. Life’s too short to keep an expensive bag in the closet. Do what makes you happy! 
Twilly as tie and Delta Boots.
men can wear a twilly as well. We all need natural day light
Hey guys.
Any thoughts on Evelyne TPM for men? I was offered a black one, but I’m on the fence.
I have to admit that, although I love and admire bags, I have never had the courage to wear one myself. Perhaps a fear of looking feminine, since my job is quite male-dominant. But I would love to and keep looking for the right bag.
Besides, I am afraid that the bag would not be useful, since I tend to carry usually only my phone and wallet and sometimes an AirPods.
Many thanks

I don't own one, but I'd say it's dependent on your city, workplace, industry, confidence, etc. (As it is with all things!) Only you would know best. If you're on the fence, but it brings you joy, you can always wear it on the weekends, nights out, road-trips, travel, etc.
Re: on being offered one: if it weren't H, would you still wear it? Might be a hot take, but imo don't blow money on things you don't love just because it's limited (or just because it's H!)
Re: storage, imo once you have the extra space, you'll find ways to fill it. Extra receipts, a book, phone charger, etc.
Hope this helps!
I second all of that, especially the question, 'if it weren't Hermes?'
Have look looked at other offerings?
You might feel confident with the more messenger-like bags, Ultrapla and Citynews.
I don't know if you might feel more confident with the larger Evelyne PM.
I have a TPM that I use in rotation with other similar sized bags. I honestly don't carry much with me on a daily basis (wallet, keys, phone, lip balm, sunglasses), and it's the perfect size for it. I technically don't really *need* to carry a bag, since all the above fits in my pockets, but I prefer my pockets empty, so this bag works for that purpose. I'm in NYC if that matters.
I'll add that I've had a custom made strap that's significantly wider that makes it look less feminine (though I didn't do it for that purpose), but as I said, I'm in NYC so it doesn't really matter here.

dinner & a night out ! Mod shot with my new KP! Always swore I’d never have a black bag… but this is just too divine!
Robert Dallet Clap Sneakers and Nata Olympe Ear Cuff…
Many thanks for the detailed response and sorry for the delay in getting back.
Although I live in huge and modern city (São Paulo, Brazil), where many guys sport their bags, it tends to stick to the more open-minded guys and most of the times with creative jobs. I am a lawyer and have been frowned upon recently simply for wearing happy socks to work…
As to rationalize the offer, I totally agree with you. Actually, I have been grateful to be offered some amazing Hermès pieces, such as a special order Kelly 35 and an HAC, but I knew then that I could not splurge all that money on a bag without being 100% confident about wearing it. I try to differentiate my appreciation for the piece from my “need”. As for the Evelyne, though it is still very expensive for a bag, I thought it could be less of a splurge for me to dive a little bit into the coveted (by me) world of Hermès.
In any case, I purchased recently a nano baguette from Fendi and, in over a year, I literally never had the guts to wear it. Perhaps, the nano baguette was not the best idea, since it only fits cards and not even my phone…

Thanks! I totally agree and have leaned towards messengers bags in the past, specially for work purposes (carrying laptop and documents). I have to admit that I no longer enjoy the style though. I have been using backpacks to wear (specially an YSL one).
thanks! Would you mind sharing how you wear your Evelyne and your custom made strap?
