They come in all shapes, sizes and colors and hang gently across our shoulder so we can easily access our favorite lipstick, money and cell phone. We anguish day after day about which bag to carry...all of our kids crap in, while trying to look cool, but also casual and practical. I know my reasons for carrying a purse, but what I really want to know is...what are men carrying in theirs? Man Bags (or murses as I like to call them) are on the rise in Ludwigsburg and literally everywhere. It's not a Satchel or a hip Messenger Bag, it's a purse and it's small. I mean really boys, is your chap stick, IPod and fingernail clippers really that necessary to drape around your shoulder?
You started with a simple wallet or money clip, broke out the Satchel or Messenger Bag and ended up with a Man Bag. Perhaps it is the age of the Kindle, where buying newspapers and gently folding them in your bag is a thing of the past and you need the extra space to store your gadgets, or maybe you actually like the feel of the bag and enjoy its effectiveness. Regardless of your reasoning, we women enjoy watching you trot by with your purse (immensely) and take pride in knowing a 'traditionally' women thing to do is catching on. So go ahead and strap on that purse or layer it with your favorite sweater because although a bit strange, the evolution of the Murse is intriguing and worth a good laugh...at least for us!!
