Although they have not hit off hugely in the US or UK, in Hong Kong, man bags are extremely popular. I had to stop and ask someone what they need an entire bag for. Luckily, the first person I asked spoke perfect English. I asked him what was in his bag, and he told me that he keeps his keys, wallet, phone, folders, sunglasses, etc. He said, “Why keep everything in your pockets and make your trousers look bulky, when you can be practical and stylish at the same time.” It makes sense.

Now, I don’t think most men outside of Asia would have that same attitude, and my boyfriend proves that point. He says to me all the time, “why do I need my own bag, when you can carry everything for me in yours?” That’s men for you, huh?

I have also seen men carrying their wife’s, girlfriend’s, etc. handbags. How nice would it be if your significant other would carry around your heavy handbag sometimes. Maybe then they wouldn’t ask you to hold so much!
