I am a fan of bags aesthetically & funtionality, whether it's mens or ladies. Of course, being a guy I dont carry ladies' bag but I admire ladies who has exquisite taste for them. And I admire them from afar, sashaying those shoulder bags, totes, etc. I share a disdain for monograms that screams at your face, seen far too many, and many done with distaste & hardly any inspiration. But occasional splash of them have surprised me.
Being a guy, I often find it difficult to get a bag I like. Not very often I see nice bags for men around but I do come across some, rarely. But when I do, I would get my wallet ready. lol.
One of the 1st is Ralph Lauren Purple label, wool checkered & leather duffle bag. A splash of green-blue-red checkered that is unmistakable Ralph Lauren made of wool, this dose I can tolerate & more.
Then Tom Ford came along.... so I took a plunge.
Gold hardware on black soft pebbled calf leather weekend bag.
Oversized large gold zipper, the sound of the zips opening & closing is so pleasing to the ears (ya I'm mad).
Velvet interior. Luxury at its finest
I have more to share but this is about your 1st designer bags, I have already shown my 1st two.... oh well.
