As I was packing my bag to come to the office today,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my roommate stopped me on my way out the door and asked an all too familiar question: “Is that a woman’s bag?”
Sure. It’s a black leather Marc by Marc tote with a little bit of shine to it. I got it on Bleecker and I’ve seen it carried everywhere around the city – mostly by women. But is that a bad thing?
I see fashionable men carry totes of all sizes all the time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but at what point along the bag spectrum (think of say,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a briefcase on one end and a pink Juicy pouchette on the other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with a carryall from American Apparel in the middle) are men supposed to stop?
It’s funny how I’d carry a Muse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the rigid structure has a masculine appeal to it,PETA Puts Foot Vegan Substitute in Its Mouth – Fa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though I’d never carry a Stam – even I’d make fun of the kiss lock closure.
So I’m wondering,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where do all of you stand on this? Can a man embrace the functionality and cuteness of a woman’s bag without coming off as totally silly?
Better yet: Do bags really have a gender?
