Like most blokes, I have a shoulder bag, or satchel if you will, that I have all my necessities in such as my wallet, keys, work folders... you get the picture. Anyway, I was rather shocked at repetitive references to the said satchel as a "Man Bag".
Do people really think that men are as obsessed with their bags as women are? Do they think we go out in search of the ultimate shoulder bag, wrestling with each other at the sales for the "cutest" satchel? The answer is no. Yes, we're a bit more obsessed with our looks than generations gone, but it's all about practicality - just like the briefcase of yesteryear - only not as stupid looking.
So no next time someone refers to your bag as a "Man Bag", politely tell them that you don't dance round it, it took one minute to pick out, you got it from the first shop you went to, it contains no more than five items at one time and it is possible for you to leave the house without it if so required.
