 Most of us can
hardly imagine a man dressed in a classic business suit with a bag in his hand
- we used to see them with a brief case. Such things were manufactured before under
the name «luxury bags for men». Today, the consumer market has dramatically changed,
now the liberal style of young jetsetters comes to the front line and the leading
fashion houses have to adapt to their demands, creating new democratic youth-inspired
collections or mixing classics with the modern style.
Marvelous selection
of leather and textile models is presented by Francesco Marconi, Gilda Tonelli,
Dolce&Gabbana, C.P.Company, Dirk Bikkembergs, Fratelli Peroni, Jaded by
Knyght, Kiton, Machiavelli, Marsell, MCM, Orkiani, Rineider, Santoni, Viviene
Westwood, Y-3, Gianfranco Ferre, Dr.Koffer, Wittchen, Domani and other famous
fashion houses. Each model has its own style, so choosing the bag you should try
to approach this matter seriously.
While a woman
selects a handbag for every outfit, most men prefer to have one or two bags (say,
for a classic suit and more casual wardrobe), to avoid rearranging everything
from one bag to another. On the other hand, when a man has selected a proper style,
he sticks to it, that's why he can easily live with only one bag (unlike most of
women).
Actually, there
is more than meets the eye. A man needs several bags and other leather or textile
luxury accessories. Let's have a look at the problem: first of all, he should
have a basic functional bag. It may be a classic business brief case, a portfolio,
a portable desk pad, a casual bag if it matches his style, a luxury messenger bag,
if a man does not want to carry everything he needs in his pockets, or even a
special laptop case with a pocket for papers.
There are cases
when the bag is not necessary but the man wants to listen to the music; then he
takes a CD/DVD or iPod case, say by MCM. Messenger bags - small bags for your documents
and cigarettes - usually have a clip-on handle. You may buy a leather key case for
your keys. It is especially handy if you have a bunch of keys. Card holder is another
important accessory for a modern man - sometimes it's necessary to recall somebody's
name, phone number or address. Organizer wallets are perfect for drivers - here
they may keep your license and other important documents.
Porte-monnaies
and wallets deserve special attention. In contrast to a bag which is a ‘face'
of every man, wallet or pochette reflect his spirit, his attitude to himself
and to money. Probably, that's why men who can't afford an expensive suit and a
first-class bag, buy a luxury wallet. By the way, psychologists suggest that money
comes to those who treat it well. A premium class wallet is a demonstration of
such respectful attitude. That is why many not very prosperous people begin o
go up in the world upon buying a luxury item.
A very important
accessory of a modern man is a luxury traveling bag. Many men frequently take flights
or travel by train and have to take more things than a toothbrush and shaving
accessories. Modern men like to have with them several shirts, a suit, a pair
of shoes and a lot of other things. Luxury traveling bags serve this purpose. They
differ from women's bags by simpler classic design and darker colors.
When selecting
a handbag, try to remember that a man dressed in a chic suit with a cheap bag in
his hand looks ridiculous. Instead, even medium-priced clothes always go together
with a quality leather bag and other luxury accessories. Besides, a man's status,
as a rule, is estimated by his shoes, bag, belt, gloves and other little
things. If they are of high quality, it means that a man is paying attention to
trifles and is more reliable as a partner than a man who neglects details.
