You can’t really blame us for concentrating almost entirely on women’s bags; they have, for PurseBlog’s entire existence, been much more aesthetically interesting than those made for men. The male-focused accessories market is starting to expand a bit, though, and it’s a great time to be a man in the market for a new bag.
There are lots of fashion-forward options in the men’s market now, but we wanted to start with some bags that are a little more functional. After all, men are still, on average, less willing than women to experiment with fashion, and even the aesthetically brave among us still need a solid everyday bag. All of the options below will get the job done, with one or two fun pieces thrown in for good measure.
