Quick guide to buying your ideal man bag
OK so you have made the decision to buy a man bag but are still unsure what kind of men's bag you actually require. Here we walk you through the different choices on offer from handbags to holdalls, from shoulder bags, to ipad bags, from messenger bags to briefcases.
The smallest of the bags for men is the belt bag or bum bag, which as the name suggests sits around the waist for added security. They can be made of leather, cotton or man made materials and vary in size. The bum bag has an integral strap worn around the waist whereas the belt bag, as the name suggests has a loop to attach it to the wearers belt. Both belt and bum bags are discreet and because they are worn around the waist make an ideal bag for holidays where security could be an issue.
Next comes the men's handbag, which despite what many people say, is one of the best selling men's bags in the Blokesbags range. We at Blokesbags are weary of hearing that men do not carry handbags! They do, and with good reason - they are convenient, stylish and very practical. Again these bags for men come in a variety of materials including, cotton, leather and man made and vary in price. Our best selling bag in store is a men's handbag - the relatively simple, but very useful Visconti men's wrist bag. We are constantly on the look out for new designs, so if you come across a man's handbag that we don't supply, then please do drop us a line to: David@Blokesbags.co.uk
New kids on the block are part of the ongoing technological revolution that is the netbook and iPad bag. Some people choose to carry their iPads and netbooks around in sleeves, but those that want to hide away their shiny new acquisitions from prying eyes choose an appropriately sized man bag. Ipad and netbook bags are also more practical as you can also carry around all the extra little bits you might need to turn your men's bag into a mobile office. We are constantly adding new iPad and netbook bags to the Blokesbags range, so be sure to keep checking back to see what's new in our ever expanding range of bags for men.
Briefcases have been around for years, but like so many man bags they are evolving to meet the needs of the modern user. We all have a mental image of the briefcase carried by our fathers. Not cool and not on line at Blokesbags! Now briefcases comes in all shapes and sizes and are made of all materials from the more traditional leather, through Italian cotton to hard shell cases and from neoprene to PU. Most take into account the sort of briefcase now required by a bag carrying man and feature pockets not just for mobile phones, but for iPods, credit cards, pens - you name it and you will be able to find a briefcase to suit your needs. Briefcases have come a long way since they were defined as: "A narrow box-shaped bag or case used mainly for carrying papers and other documents." As we said - not the man bag your Dad carried!
Backpacks have been around for years and were probably in their own way one of the very first men's bags to be accepted by a sceptical society that frowned upon the term or the use of the man bag. Now they have been improved in all sorts of way to make them fit for purpose. Some backpacks have been designed to take a laptop, others adapted to ensure your mobile phone, iPod etc are kept safe. Others have integral document sleeves, pen holders, credit card holders, and key rings - everything you would expect from a well made men's bag. They do have one big advantage over the typical men's handbag in as much as they spread the weight well and are ideal for cyclists and for those that are still not sure, they can be carried over one shoulder - one step away from a men's shoulder bag or ubiquitous messenger bag.
Men's shoulder bags were in at the beginning of the man bag revolution with many British men feeling perfectly comfortable carrying them when abroad, but no sooner than they were back in Blighty then the shoulder bag was banished to the bottom of the wardrobe. It has taken many years for the Brits to catch up with the man bag carrying Italians or the carry your men's bag with pride Spaniards, but now a man's shoulder bag is for many an indispensable part of the daily wardrobe. Where else can you stash your mobile, camera, keys, wallet, book/kindle without stuffing your pockets and making you look like Michelin Man. On a bad day?
Which brings us neatly to messenger bags, the bag that has by necessity transformed our man bag carrying habits. At last. Once called the courier bag this form of man bag was slung across the body to keep the hands free when being carried by man bag toting delivery men as they careered around the city on bikes - powered or otherwise. Now an urban fashion icon the messenger bag has evolved to carry everything from laptops to every day must haves and professional necessities, such as cameras, computers, files and accessories. They typically include a long adjustable shoulder strap, quick release buckles and a variety of other well thought out bits and bats to ensure this man bag is adaptable for every practical use.
Long before men's bags became de rigueur, one of the few man bags that did not attract derision when carried on a regular basis was the holdall. The gym bag, gym buddy call it what you will had altogether healthier associations than a man's handbag. And yet that is what they were used for in many cases, proving in the absence of any other man bag a useful repository not just for gym kit, but for office requirements, weekends away, the lot. One glance at the London Fashion Show catwalk last time around showed many of the models sporting holdalls as part of their outfits (including two straight out of the Blokesbags range).
