Look guys! Finally a suitable clutch for men who wear tight pants and need elsewhere to store their wallets. You no longer have to be a South American drug lord to get away with strutting down the street swinging a fab clutch on your wrist (see, I can say this because my husband is Colombian, in case there are PC snobs reading this). Seriously, this has to be for men because the last time I checked I wouldn’t be caught dead with a butch clutch. It’s nice and it’s made well but what’s the meaning of the mini-briefcase shape and pin striped suede detail if it were meant for a girl? I am not kidding, this man clutch would be really great for the right guy. I bet I can find a man who would actually get this, use it and be totally left alone by all who comes into contact with him. Please email me if you are that man, or know that man, just so we can know once and for all, will the Snobs need to launch mansnobessentials.com? $990 at eLuxury.
Ladies,
I am a man bag snob – at work I often get asked “is that a new bag?” I would love for you two to launch manbagsnob.com – I would fully support you in whatever way possible. Now, I would not do a clutch nor do I know a man who would. But I do just about everything else!!! My purchase yesterday was a Fendi black messenger bag from their Fall collection. It is covered leather, so I can take it out in any snow storm that may occur in Chicago. I can’t stand classic monogram anything like you ladies, but I do enjoy it when a desinger plays with their monogram. And this messenger has a very minute double F pattern that is barely noticeable. I have a pic that Jenny from 5th Ave Fendi sent me before I purchased it. Is there a way to upload pics to your website?
um ladies, if you have a site for men, please don’t call it manbag anything. since that conjures up images of men in speedos. since that is what a manbag is references these days.
i actually like it. it reminds me of the black orchid perfume bottle. i could see it looking really hot with a very feminine, vintage looking dress. i’m a sucker for anything slightly men’s wear inspired though.
It’s the sort of thing that you expect to see on middle-aged men on the Côte d’Azur. Alternatively, Kel from Kath and Kim would wear it but I doubt that anything in Fountain Gates runs to 990 USD.
Oh Katya, this is the first time I’ve heard that. It is common lingo in “bag” circles to refer to a bag that a man carries as a “man bag.” Anyone who is going to be googling for information on bags for men is going to do a search on “man bag.”
as I am just starting designing my own luxury goods for men and women, I am a men age 23 and I would never in my right mind would carry on a clutch, even the most gayest of men will slap me in the face if i ever carry it, not trying to offend anyone, men can only pull off messenger bags briefcase and sport bags. Men can only wear bags if they are really important person with millions in the bank. That carries lots of information papers etc no regular men would carry that clutch but fashion is changing so they might hahahahaahahahahhahahaahah 🙂 no
You have to start manbagsnob!! Ok, I just find clutches, no matter how big or ‘manly’ to not fit into the definition of a man’s bag. Maybe one day, society will accept that man can carry clutches, but for now, I think otherwise. I guess it’s ok to carry an envelope (you know those stuff that Prada have been doing?) ‘cos it has its purpose and looks cool. But this clutch is just, erm, wrong. A lady wearing a Dior Homme skinny suit and Louboutin court shoes, however, would look perfect with this.
I’ll admit that i have been remiss in my commentary here at Bag Snob, but, when i hear that “This” is the bag the I should be carrying? We DO need to talk! Let’s think about what your average male carries in his pockets? Do you REALLY think it would fit in that little bag? The wallet, checkbook, and Blackberry would barely fit in that sucker! I’m all for the “Manbag” site, I think we should discuss what should hold everything that a man needs to carry. I hate to see a great pair of tailored trousers ruined by bluging pockets. I love good food for thought!
Hello Kelly
I am going to have to side with the boys here on this clutch. As “fashion in the making” wrote, even the gayest of men will slap him in the face should he be seen in this. haha!
And no, manbagsnob.com is not in the works nor will it ever be. We can, however, add a Man Bag section to our categories here at Bag Snob. Would that satisfy you boys?
Tina,
Yes please!!! We can all send in pics of man bags to help!
Absolutely, Bag Snob Tina. A Man Bag section on your website would fully satisfy me!!! Thank you for including us boys =)
That bag wouldn’t hold the wallet, let alone an ounce of cocaine. It is handsome though! It would be good for this fall’s collections, but I’d recommend very high heels and a pencil skirt to prevent gender misidentification!
All you bitches need to be much more fashion forward. This bag is a wonderful example of a clutch that would work for a man trying to make some change in society. I would totally love this bag if i could afford it, and i would rock it for sure.
And yes, if I did happen to carry this I would be easily identified as gay to any passerby, but I don’t give a damn because i would look great.
British Fashion Presenter Emmanuel Ray will be the perfect guy to carry this clutch. He can pull off almost anything and can get away with going from masculine to ultra androgenous. he carries large envelope old hollywood style clutches, and also those in many sizes
am sure he’ll grab this one if he sees it”
