Men’s Designer Bags
Bags, carried for centuries by women, are now one of the most popular and valued accessories for men, of all ages. To understand the passion that men have gained for this accessory, which only apparently belongs to the female domain, we need to step back in time.
The first bags were, in fact, used exclusively by men. The very first men to carry bags were our prehistoric ancestors who used animal hides to carry weapons and tools. Then, as money became the main currency, the man’s bag became more and more common. Contrary to what is often believed, it was only at the end of the 1800s that women started to carry bags, in what was a sign of female emancipation. The binomial man-bag, such a hot topic of discussion nowadays, is therefore nothing more than a return to our origins. Firmly established as part of a man’s wardrobe, this practical accessory is used every day for work, sport, or free time.
A man’s shoulder bag: the perfect combination of practicality and stylishness.
Shoulder, or crossbody, bags are the ideal solution for men always on the move, for work or study, moving from one part of the city to another. There are many models of shoulder bags for men, in all sorts of colours, materials and sizes. Bigger versions in leather or nylon are suitable for study or work purposes, as they can carry also documents, tablets and even small laptops. Smaller, more manageable models are instead perfect for a simple evening out with friends or a walk in the city centre. Suitable for all occasions, these bags are spacious without being cumbersome. They allow men to carry everything they need and at the same time offer a unique dash of stylishness and individuality. Notoriously prestigious luxury brands like Prada, Gucci, Off-White and many others, have designed men’s bags suited to all lifestyles.
Rucksacks and belt bags for men: practical, comfortable, and affordable for all
Rucksacks have always been a must-have accessory, for carrying a PC or tablet and documents of all types. In the world of men’s bags, it is certainly one of the most popular models, thanks also to the fact that it can be used in different lifestyles and age groups. Apart from its design, a rucksack can be worn by men throughout the entire day, for countless tasks in work and outside. This loyal companion and practical accessory is a timeless favourite for men. More discreet but no less popular are men’s belt bags. Smart and original, belt bags are extremely versatile, adaptable to any style or outfit, and are super-useful for carrying and protecting your personal belongings.
Men’s designer bags by Prada
Founded way back in 1913, by brothers Mario and Martino, Prada is one of the best-known and respected Italian fashion houses in the world. Later, the successful company was passed down to the eclectic Miuccia, Mario’s granddaughter. A graduate in Political Science at Università Statale di Milano, and a strong supporter of women’s rights, Miuccia transformed the company into a global giant of luxury items. Synonymous with cutting edge style, all the brand’s collections are inspired by art, cinema, photography and architecture, creating fashion that goes beyond traditional aesthetic rules and ephemeral trends. The men’s bag collection also reflects the brand philosophy. The simple yet sophisticated design, without frills and frippery, embodies the timeless and nonconformist fashion that marks the Prada brand. The men’s designer bags, as well as being practical, also offer details that can revolutionise outfits.
Off-White designer bags for men
The best-loved streetwear brand in the world, founded only in 2012 by Ghana designer Virgil Abloh, is today a huge hit, especially with millennials. Youthful, cool and typically urban-style, Off-White fashion is immediately recognisable, which is one reason why it’s one of the most coveted and acclaimed brands among the younger generations. Among the most iconic accessories in the men’s range, we highlight the bags, rucksacks, belt bags and phone cases, featuring the symbolic four-point arrow (similar to St. Andrew’s cross) which was inspired by the airport design of Glasgow in 1964. Compared with other brands which produce men’s designer bags, this one stands out for being a favourite with millennials, both for the brand philosophy and urban design.
Designer bags for men by Gucci
Founded in Florence way back in 1921, Gucci flies the flag for Italian haute couture on the international scene: a brand that has written, and continues to write, the story of Made in Italy excellence. A lover of equitation style and everything connected to it, founder Guccio Guccitransplanted this passion into his collections, now representing an integral part of the brand’s heritage. In fact, even today, one of the maison’s iconic symbols is the double ring joined by a bar, and the green-red-green ribbon that reproduces the typical horse bit and is used indiscriminately in both women’s and men’s ranges. Along with other historic brands that make men’s designer bags, it is traditionally considered to be one of the leaders in the fashion world with an immortal spirit.
