Handbags for the gentleman
You can see it on the runway of practically every designer. Whether it's briefcases or bulkier bags reminiscent of a medical suitcase, it's an indispensable accessory for an elegant man. Large travel bags worn by men also for everyday, urban outfits are nothing new in the case of the Florentine brand Gucci. Exquisitely sewn, rectangular Gucci bags made of top-quality leather or traditional canvas with a characteristic diamond pattern have been a distinctive sign of the brand since the 1920s. Bags refreshed by Alessandro Michele and adorned with a red-green canvas strap are combined with avant-garde creations in retro style of granny chic. Versace, in turn, puts stylish bags in shades of navy blue, black or brown leather in the hands of their men. The bag's design resembles a stiff suitcase with a flap, and its additional strap, which can be thrown over the shoulder, also gives it a functional dimension. Rectangular, leather handbags are also proposed by Valentino and Dsquared2.
Sporty, i.e. shoulder bags and backpacks
We have written about the dominance of the military motif several times. It also appears in the subject of functional bags, shopper bags, and men's backpacks. Thus, in the Givenchy collection, one can find a whole range of backpacks equipped with numerous pockets and straps that are ideally suited not only for urban hiking. The Givenchy collection is kept in camouflaging shades of camo. The brand Valentino also refers to the sporty chic, one of its proposals is a tourist backpack in the shade of burgundy or a rectangular bag with a flap in whitened camo thrown across the body.
In the category of soft shopper bags, the brand Balenciaga shone on the catwalks with its proposition of maxi bags in shades of blue and bright yellow. This bag became a famous joke on the internet and was compared to a plastic blue shopping bag from the famous Swedish chain with meatballs. In reality, made of lamb leather, the blue Balenciaga bag does not remind anything of a nylon advertising bag for foldable furniture. Karl Lagerfeld for Fendi presented an interesting collection of shopper bags with long or short handles, sewn from fabric straps in different colors.
Pouches and small bags
For men who do not like to carry large bags with them, designers have prepared interesting ideas for pouches pinned in the belt or small bags thrown over the shoulder. Thanks to this, gentlemen can maintain the proper shape of their clothes, not stuffing the pockets of trousers or jackets. Moncler Gamme Bleu prepared a series of military "bread bags" which in the army, of course, were used for carrying grenades. Salvatore Ferragamo presented pouches pinned to the belt. His proposals are so interesting that they resemble a heavy, leather backpack with a flap and a buckle fastened on the hips. For men looking for lighter and more sporty solutions, we recommend pouches from the Versace collection, which are given style by an interesting logo of the brand placed in the middle.
