The fashion trend of men's leather bags

In most countries it is now no longer considered wrong for a man to carry a bag, an umbrella or wear a brightly coloured silk scarf his neck. The fashion industry is now responding to this rise in the popularity of men’s accessories and men are embracing it.

Men's bags come in a variety of styles enabling the buyer to purchase his specific needs. The most popular style is the messenger bag as this is a solid, square shape, has a flap over the front and a variety of pockets both internally and externally. Messenger bags come in many different sizes with the smaller ones being perfect for everyday use and the larger ones capable of taking the place of a briefcase or business bag. For those men who are new to carrying a bag around with them a small, smooth leather bag just large enough for essentials is the first choice. Leather bags that are made specifically for men have much longer straps then similar styles that are made for women. These shoulder straps are always fully adjustable making them suitable for all shapes and sizes of men.
What do men carry in their bags?
Men's bags are useful at different times, but once they have taken the plunge men tend to carry one around with them at all times. Most men carry at least one smartphone around with them, as well as a wallet, car keys, door keys, sunglasses and in some cases spectacles. All of these items would look bulky in the pockets of a tailored suit or a pair of tight fitting jeans. Packing all of these daily essentials neatly into a smart leather bag is a much better option. A bag is also useful on flights as a larger man bag enables you to easily carry items such as an ipad, smart phone, papers, pens and a book. This eliminates the need of a small cabin bag and means you can have all the items you want on the flight under your seat rather above your head.
How do women react to this trend of men's bags?
Women have been the dominant group in fashion for the past century. Women's fashion is often seen as more glamorous, while men's fashion is viewed as less important and less interesting than their female counterparts. This trend has been changing rapidly with the majority of men, particularly the younger generations, more fashion conscious and aware of their appearance.
