One of the smartest metrosexual Wookies around, Chewbacca knew the benefits of carrying a bag!
In choosing a man bag, the criteria should be as follows: small, sleek, lightweight, and definitely not look like a purse. It’s a way to carry a little something extra that wouldn’t fit into the pockets of a pair of khakis without creating unsightly bulges. Briefcases, messenger bags and backpacks are not man bags. They are too large and bulky to carry on a daily basis without looking like you’re headed to school or work. Fannypacks are a no-no, unless you want to look like an ubergeek and repel women. Also, stay away from fancy designs, patterns, or the color pink. Flight, utility, and certain camera bags generally fall into the category of man bags.
Finding man bags that are worthy of carrying on a daily basis can be a bit of work, so we’ve created a list of the Top 10 Ultimate Metrosexual Man Bags to get you started!

I think the bags shown here are nice enough for any occasion without looking girly, but at the same time they’re nice enough for me to carry too!

Holy crap. That’s not metrosexual, it’s homosexual. No guy should EVER carry so much crap they need a purse. Laptop bag I can see but a man purse? What are you putting in there… male tampons, bald scalp toner, and a year’s supply of ky jelly?

Someone sure has a fear of being labeled. ;)
If I’m on the go and need to carry my treo, wallet, nintendo ds lite, and mini camcorder(for vodcasts of course)… I doubt all of that is going to fit in my pocket.
These bags are sweet, and serve a good purpose. If you’re not man enough to carry one, then by all means.. stuff your pockets and look like a dork.

i wouldn’t mind carrying a bag around. but it depends on why i’m carrying a bag. if i don’t need to carry it, why lug it around? but if i need something to carry stuff, i might as well do it in style!

they are of fine fabrication, indeed. i just prefer using a messenger bag, or something more sporty.
i do agree that stuffed pockets is not cool. and quite uncomfortable. -

Guys, I have to say that you are missing out on wonderful attention from the ladies by insisting on uber-macho personas. (not to even mention the great fashion ;)
I have several Kenneth Cole bags and not only are they simply practical but always an unexpected compliment grabber.b.t.w. The KC bag here has been one of my favs…great purchase for anyone shopping around.

I think carrying a bag is a must because if you have a PSP, digital camera,video camera and sometime your gf stuff. Where do you carry those things if you don’t have a bag

So carrying a satchel, man-bag as you all are calling it, makes one less of a man? I’ve got a few of these “murses” which I use to carry whatever I need that day. I don’t carry one everyday, but the days I need one I have no problwm hanging one off my shoulders. Yeah, my leather one is my art bag, holding sketch book, pens, pencils, markers..etc..etc.. But the I have a field bag, which carries knife, leatherman, tools, cord…etc…etc, along with my iPod and Moleskine. I’d rather carry that then a backpack. Zeoth and DJ-Hades, what do you carry al your stuff in, a backpack?

Pinged by Metrosexuell: Herrenhandtaschen - ShoppingVictim - Fashion Victims
[...] Was die Frau kann, dass kann der Mann heute auch. Ob das nun das Schminken ist oder die Pflege bis hin zur Mode, “Metrosexualität” ist IN. Mir persönlich macht das nicht aus, wenn ein Mann ein wenig mehr auf sein Äußeres achtet, im Gegenteil, ich finde das gut. Was ich persönlich nicht mag, sind Männer in Röcken oder Strumpfhosen (gibt es ja heute alles). Aber ein gutaussehender und dazu noch gepflegter Mann ist schon sehr anziehend. So kommt es auch, dass die Herrenhandtasche immer beliebter wird. Heute sind das natürlich “Bags” und nicht die klassischen Handtaschen. Weil einige Männer heute fast so viel Zeug mit sich rumschleppen, bietet sich so ein Herrenhandtäschen natürlich an. PDA, Handy und andere Utensilien wollen schließlich gut verstaut sein. Auf kineda.com habe ich eine interessante Liste mit den 10 besten Herrenhandtaschen gefunden. Vielleicht ist da ja auch etwas für euren Mann dabei. Mein Favorit ist der Bag von Lacoste (siehe Bild) aus der “Notting Hill Collection”. Bietet sich doch sehr schön als alternatives Weihnachtsgeschenk zur Krawatte an. [...]
