We live in a time, where things that were once not acceptable are now part of one’s daily life. Society is now more accepting of men joining forces with women, and enjoying the items women have indulged in for centuries. and like women, men equally have accessories they need to take with them on the go.  From technological gadgets like phones, laptops, chargers, power banks, tablets, headphones to even books, keys, stationeries etc. So what’s a man got to do? Invest in a man bag otherwise known as Murse. Man bags are crafted to suit a man’s need. It should therefore be on any man’s wish list this festive season as they are fast becoming a must have accessory. Investing in a nice piece is not only important for any gentleman but it says a lot about who you are and how you dress. It polishes off your entire look.

Guidelines to carrying one

It must be functional, roomy enough to hold all your gadget.

You want durability so good stitching is a must, something that has nice leather reinforcement at the pressure points where you’re carrying a lot of weight like on the sides and shoulder strap.

It should be very portable so even if you are traveling with it, it fits in the overhead board in an aircraft.

It should also be rugged. You want something that’s really going to hold up to a lot of abuse.

A stylish look is key, too. Most men now want to appear stylish so get one that oozes it tastefully

It must not possess feminine characteristics

You must have confidence in large doses to sport one

Do not hold it in such a way that it will give off feminine vibes. Do not carry it like a woman would. If you get one that is a one strap bag, wear it cross body style, not draped over your shoulder.

You can start by getting just one piece. Focus on getting comfortable with it before moving on to other options.

The three essential man bags

The briefcase: It should be slim in profile and made of durable leather, one that can last generations. Instead of the typical square hard-shelled briefcase, look for something modern.

The back pack: It has to look a bit dressy as it tends to be more associated with the younger generation.

The messenger: Good especially if you are always on the move and you need your hands to be free
