Without the same fear and anxiety men are starting to wear purses - smaller cross body bags from luxury design houses that look and act a lot like cross body bags for women. I share my thoughts about this trend, go into some of the history of purses and highlight two of the trendiest purses for men - the Dior Saddle bag and the Louis Vuitton Soft Trunk.
Check out Anthony Deluca's LV Soft Trunk video here : • Video

bags add so much to an outfit. I've never understood the stigma that carrying something to hold your things is feminine. it's not just an aesthetic improvement to an outfit but it's also pretty utilitarian. I'm glad that these luxury houses built upon the wave that supreme created because i think it foreshadows an explosion of the creativity and prevalence in menswear within the next decade.
Totally agree - bags are primarily a utilitarian thing (like I mention Anthropologists think bags were the first human invention) but I think the stigma is linked to hand bags holding makeup and feminine products (hence the 1920s article)
Then rock a backpack
@@TJ-ef4ji Too bulky and annoying to carry around.
To gay
WTF do you really need to carry? Cash, ID, credit card, debit card, maybe some drugs if that's you. I'm all good with dressing fly, but the last thing I want is some extra shit to carry around.
Bags are the most useful accessory, don't know why there has been such a taboo surrounding them. How else am I gonna bring my tan ponds everywhere I go!?
Tan ponds is the new MENS hygiene product I’m working on in the lab and now the words getting out before they’re ready
Hello from Asia....Carry a purse its like wearing a piece of art....
I think it’s about time men start wearing bags IMO...we carry our car keys, our wallets, gum, portable chargers, etc and there’s no way all of that fits in our jeans. (And please refrain from wearing bookbags/backpacks guys we’re not in Highschool 😂)
Lol nothing wrong with a book bag. Don't give book bags a sigma.
Naw wear a bookbag
I'll never carry a purse back packs for life
@@swaglike2802 💯💯💯💯💯 frfr
I’ve always been a tote bag kinda guy, and people used to make fun of me but with more and more guys wearing bags on their shoulders now it’s now become normal haha
A tote is my go to as well, but maybe just because I don't have a good purse or anything. Shoulders are nice, especially if there's a little more you want to carry...
Emajossch I think I’ve never even dared to buy a purse. When I think of accessories to buy, it doesn’t come to my mind
@@FashionRoadman I just mean a purse or man purse or little crossbody bag
Well, it’s time to dare and buy a purse! Actually listened to GQs podcast yesterday (listened after I made the vid) but they did an episode about bags and they suggested totes as a gateway to investing in a real bag. Here in the us (probably in Europe too idk) whenever u subscribe to a magazine like the New Yorker you get a tote and there came a point where it seemed like everyone in nyc had that tote
@@BraveNewWear the New Yorker totes are still everywhere lmao, they're funny. But I agree totally, carrying a tote everyday to work has made me a lot more interested and curious in other options, purses being the main thing. God damn I love those Dior saddle bags...
I started carrying one recently b/c I got tired of stuffing my pockets with all my junk. It was an impulse buy one day when I was out and had a bunch of stuff I'm my pockets weighing my shorts down, and lost my wallet. (basketball shorts suck at keeping things in pockets) . No regrets. I did feel a bit silly at 1st but I got over it quickly cuz it's useful af. Vapes are heavy and wallets are valuable.
@J book bag, grocery bag, it's the same damn thing. Just used to carry shit around. Old sigmas.
Proud that you did it!, this things needs to be more widespread to eradicate that stigma. Bags are just bags, they are not silly. If anything they add so much to an outfit and looks good
So don't vape.
What the fuck do you carry that requires more than pockets
yes, and I'm 56 years old. Love no longer having to have pockets repaired or overflowing. And I'd rock the Saddle bag
What you said about accessories funding high end brands is so true. Almost every luxury brand I know make majority of their money from accessories & fragrances
Yeah that’s basically my favorite fashion secret. Working in e-com I can say we make most of the revenue from shoes + bags
I wear slings and courier bags. I am proud of my man purse, dawg
Lol
I bet you're the kind of person that posts on Facebook that you got your covid vaccine.
I absolutely love that I've added bags to my attire. I've always been both very masculine and very stylish, so sticking with the darker leathers, with the exception for a few of them with much more "pop", will help make them blend into your outfit. Oh and anyone concerned with it looking 'feminine'🙄😒? Yes, be prepared to defend your style to your uncultured associates, but as far as the rest of the world judging you....FUCK 'um!! They are not working your job(s) for you, they are not bathing you at night and damn sure ain't paying any parts of your rent/mortgage, so sport those bags with all confidence and remember that the most successful designers were once ridiculed by some lame-ass for their designs however many years ago too😉
I live in Mississippi and there’s no way in hell wearing a bag other than a backpack is acceptable.
I mean I gotta carry my gfs bag all the time, may aswell have my own right🤷♂️😂
From a woman...... In Europe.... I freaking LOVE a fire man purse.. But I still don't see them that much in Denmark.. But when I do, I take a double turn..... It looks sooooo gooooooood!
Slowly but surely... I think European men who are more used to living In metro areas are/will be the earlier adapters but the “taste makers” like Frank Ocean are already rocking the bags so I think it will be less controversial
Can I just say if we ignore the fashion part, bags are way more convinient than stuffing your pockets full. Also wearing a backpack will melt my back and it's uncomfortable to hang it from one side because it's not built to be wore that way. And if I do wear backpack as its meant to it's harder to access things from it. Those to me are good enough reason to get a man bag.
totally at the end of the day it's an extremely practical item - and frankly practicality is often considered a masculine trait so all the more reason to carry 1
I used to talk so much shit about these man purses honestly and I’m pro gun, pro Mercia !! Now I own a Versace and a Gucci and you can’t tell me shit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dammit
Ever since I made the switch to carrying a full on bag, I've never looked back, it's great to have all my things organized in a single place and having my pockets free of stuff. The best part is that I don't have to waste time fishing in my pockets for change of my keys, the bag is the best.
I used a bag years ago (like the 90's) and recently started again yet I didn't know it was in fashion. I'd totally rock that bag! I don't care what people think - I do what I want to do and they can think what they want. People know if I'm gay or not and if they think I'm gay they have no idea what they're talking about. I can't make time for such clueless people and it doesn't even matter to me what they think. You do you! As long as you're not hurting anyone - do what you want. LIVE ON :D
Now thats what Im frickin talkin about! This one gets it! 😁✌👍
I have gotten some women's purse an use them and I don't care what people are thinking.
I've been wearing sling/crossbody bags for the last 10 years. Had a fossil sling bag 1st for 6 years then got a coach sling bag for 4 years, and finally the wife bought for me a Louis Vuitton Avenue in taiga just last week and love it.
congrats on the new LV gift! Take care of the bag and you'll likely be able to hold on to it forever.
@@BraveNewWear thank you.. i hope it lasts me forever too..
If it's a) useful or b) pretty, I'll wear it. I don't like having stuff in my pockets, I don't like lugging around a large bag. Never actually gotten a nice purse, but like last summer and before that, I was definitely wearing a crossbody bag a lot to carry shit, and it feels so freeing. Now I just need to find a saddle bag that I can afford lmao
Currently thinking of getting a LV Soft Trunk. I love having somewhere to put my phones, wallet, charge and other things I’m carrying during my out! It also very stylish!
I think they look awesome if you want to invest it’s a beautiful bag
I own several from LV to Dior it just makes life easy...
I would wear one. I haven’t bought one yet but I’m in the thinking process. If you think back to pioneer days if a man wanted to carry his stuff, pants did not have pockets. So they had to carry a bag to put your stuff. Your tobacco, your extra lead shots, your bullet patches, your money/gold etc. I could see manufacturers removing pockets from pants just to promote the man bag accessory. These days men still carry wallets, cellphones, chargers, earbuds etc. Trying to jam all of in your pockets can get ridiculous and even be uncomfortable. I like the versatility of a cross body bag. It can be carried in front for ease of access or behind me when I do things like eating. That’s my thoughts 😎
Think I mentioned this but In nyc without having a car, carrying a bag is almost required to bring around all ur stuff including stuff you can fit In pockets
I've carried a bag since I was a child. I'm 54 now and wouldn't want it any other way. Thank you for breaking the stigma that toxic masculinity brings upon this subject. I say..if you like the bag...buy the bag...and wear the bag. Don't concern yourself with the opinions of others it's your life and life's too short not to do the things you love or wear the things you love.
I love the idea and am looking for one. My issue is that there aren't great options out there for men, maybe with the exception of some high-end designers that cost hundreds of dollars. I'd like something cross-body that is sleek and small.
Im still undecided which bag yo get, i want a classic bag for men. Which there is not. Unlike the womens they have so many classic. I choosing between the 3: dior saddle, lv soft trunk mini, prada brique. Which do you think would these 3 become classic? Or just a trendy bag for a season? Any recommendations?
When clothes are becoming more fitted leaving items being bulky (wallets, PHONES,etc) bags are essential.
I own a red dooney and Burke I haven’t wore it out yet but I love it I just gotta get over the anxiety of it
i get that, I think the thing is once you start wearing them out after a few times you stop thinking about being worried, just gotta take that first leap and do it
excellent video!! yes i would wear a purse, bag, satchel whatever you call it. alyx has a very cool passport bag that i would def rock if i bought it! this topic needs to be spoken becuase you’re right- men are starting to wear purses. it’s time to end the stupid taboo about purses and the stigma that it’s feminine or only gay men wear purses. women can so can’t men? but men will get laughed at and be pointed out. it’s ridiculous and i hope more and more men do it so our style can evolve
Thank you josh! I agree I really like the little Alyx passport bag - I was walking through Zara the other day and they actually created a knockoff Alyx bag for less than $20 I think - kind of tempting...
I wear a small bag when I don't want my things to obstruct the drape/silhouette of the outfit, like when I'm wearing skinny jeans. But sometimes I don't wear a bag since I'm aiming for a minimalist look, and I'm avoiding accessories
I'm 54, I think I dress decently enough and I'm usually the pack mule for my wife's stuff because she doesn't want to carry anything when we go out. I do own a good looking and very functional sling bag and I usually wear that when we travel and its extremely useful. If I see a gent who dresses fashionably sport a Louis body bag, more power to him. Most of the time, men's pants pockets are just not enough storage.
He feel free to send me Saddle bag... preference is for the black calfskin with contrast stitching...
Also, bags are a huge part of my outfit.... I typically carry so much stuff around with me for work/gym, etc. that there is no way in hell I can squeeze it all into my pickets!
I own 5 bags all stylish that add flair to my outfits. Pairs well with sunglasses. I've got way too much to carry on me to consider NOT owning a bag or bags....
I love to wear cross bags I don’t care if looks feminine
My yellow guidi q100 🤤 ... Love that thing ... for me as I tend to dip into yellow accents a lot, this bag was a compliment.
What about those small (A5 size) hand sling bags Japanese men used to wear in the 80th? There was something very maskuline about them.
I’d totally wear a bag I’d be a little bit uncomfortable because of the stigma against them especially where I live in Texas but they say accessorize, accessorize,accessorize and it is a useful one that can add a lot to a fit so for sure I’d wear a bag also as much as I hate to say it I think a lot of the influence to wear a bag has come from the supreme side bags that was the more entry level thing that got people attention that weren’t so in depth with dior and other big fashion houses but correct me if I’m wrong
I get feeling uncomfortable with making bold fashion statements Bc of where u live (I grew up in NH / WV) I totally agree that supreme played a role. Streetwear in general introduced the practicality of bags and supreme for sure made an impact with bags every FW SS
I have been carrying sling bags for ages. Started when my kids were born. Having small kids was chaotic. I found the need to carry a handfull of things the moment they were born i.e diapers, pacifiers etc. As grow older i become more forgetfull. Misplaced things. A bag becomes a necessary to keep my stuff in order. My eyes werent good anymore and needed to carry a pair of reading glasses. Its ever important to me now.
Excellent points all around. As I keep saying the bag is super pragmatic and it seems like the more responsible we become in life the more we have a need to carry around a bag.
I don't use satchel, but I use a fanny pack instead.
I’ve always had a backpack for my things. It held everything I used on the daily & had room for more if need be. I did, still do, have several in varied sizes for various uses. I even used a fanny pack but found them too small if I carried a light hoodie or hooded shell. A small backpack worked better. I did try a sling, several actually, but found them too small as well. Another thing I don’t like about a sling is was unstable or would swing around if I were doing anything other than a walk. For me various side backpacks & the fanny pack are the most stable, hands free carry.
Yep I carry a Nut Sac daily. There is a fine line between a purse and a masculine Messenger bag. With all the tech we carry today with the boom of the digital age there is nothing wrong with a man carrying a messenger bag. Bags can be masculine as coach and Louis Vuitton as well as other manufactures are starting to make masculine bags. If you are insecure abou this then don't wear one. I for one find it very necessary for the things I need to carry daily and am very secure in my masculinity. It doesn't even phase me at all what others think as it shouldn't . So yes carry away. Just don't purchase an actual purse designed for women. That is all
If you’re confident it doesn’t matter I agree with that 👌
100% but I don't like a lot of the desigs of bags, dior saddle, Gucci/chanel fanny pack and totes for grocery shopping, the thing is i don't find need since the only times i carry enough stuff to justify a bag a backpack serves a better purpose, although i have seen the idea thrown around about using the saddle bag as a handgun holster
Dior saddle pouch and bag is the best accesory of the summer. 110% would carry one.
I agree dude - the bag comes in handy when ur not wearing a coat and u need that cargo space
The dior saddle is a very nice design for anyone who carries a few things everyday.. but i'm afraid it's too slim and you can't put much things in that bag.
I got the latest uniqlo u cross body bag to try it out and I love it, both functionally and aesthetically
Yeah those bags were really nice! Shoutout to Lemaire for Uniqlo I was considering picking one up for myself they look really simple in a good way
the only problem is that it seems like it's only "socially acceptable" if it's an extremely inexplicable expensive brand, such as Louis Vuitton, Supreme, Hermes, etc...
does sometimes feel that way - maybe its bc theres such a big culture around hand bags that is luxury already established
I don’t know.. I got a kate spade tote bag and am totally rocking it. I say just go for it and don’t mind what people think. Be happy with what interests you
im with this trend 100% i just ordered my man purse a few days ago, can't wait for it to get here!
Awesome mango what kind of bag did u pick up?
@@BraveNewWear mcm nylon crossbody. great content man keep it up!
wearing a crossbody bag for men is very utilitarian, a human person in this era cannot survive on himself alone, we need personal things to be prepared and it completes the outfit also overall, practicality over judgement
I agree Joshua, especially in the big city if you're walking around you need a way to carry your stuff.
Your Vlog is very educative. I like it!!!
Thank you Vincent!
I've tried to rock a cross-body bag, or a purse, but honestly I don't like wearing them just because I don't like the uneven distribution of weight on my body, or the strap tugging at my neck/trap.
It's a pity because I really like the look, I just can't go a day with the uneven distribution of weight and the strap (It really bugs me).
That’s a legitimate concern! If you put too much weight on one side you can hurt ur back maybe it’s uncomfortable - fashionable or not the backpack is probably the most practical bag for this reason
Would never wear a lv bag...but man o man,the market BALENCIAGA bag,or even the triangle small bag... don't care about what anybody tells me,if I had lots more money to spend, I'd throw it on that
After using The One by Easkpak, I can say that a purse is a much better way to store items in a secure manner where they won't ever fall out or be pickpocketed. I must care about the fashion aspect of carrying a purse because I feel weird wearing it out in public. The only objective con of the purse is that it moves around when you bend over or walk, but a tighter fit almost fixes that issue, whereas a sling/fanny pack-style bag would not have those two issues.
i neve understood why people saw it as a feminine or "gay" thing. like, my sexuality has nothing to do with my need to carry a lot of crap around lol. thankfully it's 2020 and men's bags are been more normalized. it is so classy, not anyone can pull it off!
Let fashion be fashion, but if you do not at least carry a small cross body or messenger bag, where do you put your stuff? The suit used to be a great bag-to-wear but with the advent of slim fit suites (or not suite at all 😩) a small bag became a technical necessity.
The production on this video makes me wanna kiss you
Do it then I deserve a reward for my hard work
If you sent me a saddle bag in the mail I'd wear the hell out of it, thanks a lot Christian!
Crossbody bags are practical. I dont go for feminine styles but can't deny that crossbody bags are useful for carrying my large smartphone, wallet, large set of keys.
Definitely. I have alot of stuff I can carry. I have now 3 LV bags
Im a man and i use marc jacobs snapshot dtm in black. It doesn’t seem feminine though when i wear it
I'm 33 years all men and I have been using this bags 🎒 all my life
I wouldn't wear one because I don't carry enough things besides my phone and wallet to justify it
i hold my stickers, markers, and charger in it
Makes sense - I typically carry around phone+wallet+headphones+ keys and then every additional thing like gum /whatever gets tricky when I’m not wearing a jacket
Charger, medicine, sweat towel, power bank, glasses headphones
I use to laugh at dudes who carry bag around but I started to carry a small cross body bag couple weeks ago. I wear shorts a lot (Florida) and couple weeks ago I lost my wallet, it fell out of my pocket. I usually carries a power bank, usb-c cable, microfiber cloth for my glasses, wallet, a can of Copenhagen, phone and galaxy bud in my bag. Now I have all my items in one location, no more unloading my pockets after coming home, no more accidentally putting wallet in the washing machine and now I can get the item that I needed while sitting down without twisting and turning.
I love Wearing bags, I feel naked without mine
I would use one, just finding a piece that works, I think it comes down to the width of the straps and a size bag that is in the middle not super small like say a clutch, and not overly decorated. I do think part of the reason more men are wearing them is we are carrying more stuff and this whole EDC trend and we got tired of loading down our pockets the backpack is nice but it can be too bulking and does not fit with every situation, or the briefcase or messager bag can be too formal, or more then we need to have to tote around all day. were as a purse is that simple middle ground carries what you need or may need without the added weight or bulk of the above and also easier to keep an eye on. plus i believe we have gotten to the point we care less about the views of others when it comes to how we dress
I have to wear a bag because I'm out all day and some nights so I can carry everything I need. Also men are carrying more things, phone, sunglasses, charger, keys etc...
"This ain't a purse it's a satchel"
A purse
Only wear a side bag supreme only 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
£2000 for bag ,I’d rather buy it for my mum The LV and doir purses 👜 ...if I could 🔥
You’re a good son then buy ur mom something nice
I remember that pic of Downey Jr., that was when he almost got popped with 5 keys of china white!
I use a backpack i can't fit my rain coat in a purse plus i would never wear a purse for the same reason i don't wear lip stick
does anyone know the green bag in the cover photo?
Pretty sure it’s an older Celine bag from when Phoebe Philo was the creative director but I’m not sure the model name
Return you moms purse to her😂
It's 2022 there's a new way of thinking
Yo first off this video was SO GOOD, second I would totally rock a bag... I think with the help of crossbody fanny packs guys are starting to realize the benefits of carrying a small bag, that mixed with the emergence of totes we are guaranteed murses SOON
Hey Gabe thank you bro! I agree with totes kind of pushing men to start carrying bags - especially the high fashion flex of the Rick Owens tote
I'm a heterosexual man wearing a Fendi baguette and Loewe puzzle. Love them for their classy look. Also utilitarian... don't fancy bulging mobile phones in pockets 😃
Who makes that cherry red box bag you’re wearing? 😍
It’s actually from Oak and Fort - I’m wearing it in my most recent Instagram post
I started with a fanny pack that I bought for keeping things out of my pocket while I was working. Soon I found myself using one in my personal life, inside my bag I could have: my keys, my medicines, gum, chapstick, glucose tablets, ibuprofen, bandaids, pocket knife, a Glock 42, backup battery to charge my phone, AirPods and could probably fit a few more things.
I think more men will make it a utilitarian choice and will slowly get nudged into more stylish choices. I never really understand shaming a guy for using a bag lol it’s much more sensible than using your pockets and you can carry more stuff.
ID on your bag? Looks amazing
The coolest one I've seen was the purse/crop top combo worn by one of the Dolan twins at Cochella.
I wear small sling bags way before they become a fashion item. A decade already actually. Had kids, need to carry too much stuff, jeans getting skinnier, too forgetfull etc. We asians carry these bags for ages because we commute a lot with motorcycles and scooters. When you ride scooters to almost everywhere yes you need a small sling bag.
I using the bag for my scanner
they let me carry a little instrument for when I get bored
I’m still debating
I am a straight man who carries a tote bag and carry crossbody bag I think all men should carry bag be proud to carry a bag I'll keep carrying it bag to the day I die
Im here for this. Forget man or woman it is for everyone I will straight up wear a purse. In ancient mesopotamia men wore purses only if they were wealthy... I dont give a truck. I just like bags and purses. So yes you will see me wearing one and im not trying to look like a woman mind you I like being a man. Just be yourself no matter what your pronouns are no matter what your gender.
I don't wear cross body bags- I wear satchels/top handles. I like them much more
I already wear a briefcase crossbody on the daily. If i can downsize, it would be great. But i won't be buying these designer bags. I would go to a local cobbler and sketch a design with them. Get a bag for 1/10th the price and x10 the material quality. Edit: I can also be sure that it's real leather and not faux leather with a bloated price.
Nice ❤❤
I carry tote bags new bags every day
Would prefer a tote bag, or a sling bag.
I would fof concealed carry
I dont care if a straight man wearing a man purse so all power to you but I just never really understand it at all. Maybe I am not into style that much? I like to think I am. I enjoy wearing nice clothes and GQ like but man purse? I will stick to my wallet. I even feel weird holding my wife's purse for her at the mall whenever she have to go to the restroom or changing. Im sure I will get some hate but thats how I feel. I dont understand it at all. If I want to carry more stuff I carry a backpack or heck duffle bag. I never need to carry alot. In fact my wallet is the minimalist kind not the regular fat ones. I think the real question that I really want to asked is what do you need to carry around as a man to need a purse? Makeup? hair moose or gel? Deodorant? I mean seriously. Snacks for the kids? I dont get it.
The only reason I think it’s uncomfortable to wear a purse is the weight lol
Cross body bags or fanny packs whatever they're called have been a thing for years since like 07 08 from what I can remember as a kid here in Europe nobody ever looked at you weird if you had one. So I don't see the big deal.
Europe’s always been a little more advanced fashion wise so that makes sense + I’m pretty sure the fanny pack has been popular there for longer so I can imagine how adopting a side bag wouldn’t be a big leap
Put my 40 in it
I hate american masculinity standards for making it such a big deal for men to have shoulder bags when it's literally normal in most european and asian countries
And to think once we used to kill Wolly Mammoths...
It's literally a shoulder body bag. I never understood how it's perceived as "feminine" lmao.
its kind of silly - its like why do we think of pink as a feminine color? No other reason really than its been associated with women.
hey i recently featured you in my last video! i hope you like it
- btw really like this video
It's a bag. it's practical for carrying stuff. What if it was feminine for dudes to have pants with pockets?! Where the hell would we put things?! That's just as nonsensical!!
I just use a backpack like any man
I'm not a stylish man. I appreciate a good suit, but in my normal day I wear jeans, t-shirts, button downs, and hoodies. I do, however, have a lot of shit. I carry a firearm(small, back pocket holster), phone(with card wallet, airpods, retention strap, ray bans, gum, pocket caddy(knife, extra cards, spare pistol nag), handkerchief, and my keys.
I am one of these edc freak, but I'm also a logical person. I like to carry these things, but I hate when my pockets are full all the time. If I just carried a very small bag, then I could free up my pockets to not look so bulky. Maybe I'm just insecure, but I hate that my masculinity keeps from doing this. Lus, I'd love to carry more shit with me. Maybe a fidget toy or two, water bottle/flask, spare earbuds, a battery bank... Idk, I just like stuff and not carrying a bag keeps from having stuff.
TL;DR
I'd love to carry a bag, but think it is for metro men. Prove me wrong
Lol my purse keep my gun
Slayyy ❤❤❤❤
