Topic of the day: Men and bags

Is it cool for men to carry bags? Kanye, The Dream, Pharrell all carry men bags but is it cool? Please share your thoughts...

  1. There are bags for men please.

  2. Too feminine for comfort. I see men often carrying feminine-looking bags and the only thing that strikes me is that they are gay. I could be wrong but the idea of carrying hand bags by men is awkward.

  3. Hi Linda. I am a man and I also carry bags. Sometimes, it looks gay depending on the kind of bag your carrying. I carry men bags and that's all. The guy in the picture above is carrying a hermes bag and hermes only makes such bags for women. Designers such as lv and zara make nice bags for men which are carryable.
    Thanks

  4. Why not? Don't men travel? If a man embarks on a journey would he carry his stuff in his mouth? It dePends on d kind of bag anyway. *amrra*

  6. Its soooo gayish. Does it mean if kanye n'the rest are doing it, then every1 should copy. So if kanye becomes gay today every1 has to follow. SMH. Y not follow the steps of pple like mandela, koffi anan, billgate and the likes. Who is kanye? Just an illitrate rapper that doesnt add anything positive to the society.

    1. The way "strap on" sounds in my head right now is not good. LOL...

      It looks like the guy in the picture is carrying a female's bag. Guys normally carry messenger type bags or cross body bags for men.

  11. From the little history of bags I've read, it was the menfolk that started the handbag trend...but the women took over. I guess the men want to make a comeback

  20. Fashion is not set in stone, fashion forward people push the boundaries of fashion to make a statement. People should be able to express their creativity in which ever way they like.

    Most commentators who have a thing against fashion are people who have no individual sense of style and there comments really don't matter.

    I like 'man-bags' they add an element of suave to my style and compliment my image, if women can wear trousers and suits, and they can wear jackets, then if a man wants to rock a bag, then what's the problem.

    People should make up their own minds about what they find comfortable and stop conforming to the expectations of people who buy their clothes from agege market or have yemi the tailor sew it for them.

    Rock the bag, and when 'man skirts' start making their way from the catwalk then i'm rocking that shit.

    If you hate it, go hug a transformer.

  25. Men + Female bag = Gay and stupidity of fashion. Men have their own bag so they should carry them.

  32. Wetin man dey carry for bag?

    ReplyDelete
  33. When you see a man carrying bag, it's a French fashion style that has been a norm since time immemorial. So in retrospect, as far as they are comfortable carrying it, I really don't see anything wrong with it.

  38. @anon 7.36pm, you didn't state your orientation, maybe you like it up the a$$.The concept is gay besides what could be inside the bag??Make-up??. Very soon Nigerians like you will want the 14 year jail term lifted.

  40. Men can carry bags that are strictly designed for them,buh I dnt understand them going for bags that looks feminine

    ReplyDelete
  41. Anonymous 7.47, you are obviously a loose gay man, eying another man on this blog is not just a sin, but iniquity punishable by stoning.

  42. tha fack?

    What happened to bags designed for men?

    He looks ridiculous smh

  43. LMBO....trust naijas to overdo. That is not a man bag! That is a purse!

    ReplyDelete
  44. this one is just outrageous...he's carrying a birkin!!

  45. Just because American celebrities are doing it, doesn't make it right. My man will stick to carrying wallet.

    Soon, men will start wearing full makeup and skirts, and you still call yourself Heterosexual. Only Gay men do that. I like Pharrell as a producer but his style sometimes sucks. Men should stick to their men bags, and we will stick to women bags.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Please what does "Blood of Jesus" have to do with this picture. The ? is, is it right. Mtchhhwwww.

    Ehen Linda o jare, It is not wrong but just look awkward. That was how men felt wen we started wearing trouser.

  47. Carrying a bag like d 1 in dis picture, just looks gay

    ReplyDelete
  48. All u homophobic people...very sickening. Allow people express themselves...does a man carrying a bag affect u in any way? All it screams is tht ur not comfortable with ur sexuality!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yes. Any man that carries a bag is gay because gay men most always do feminine things. *Sarcasm*

    Honestly, you people are stupid. I have no words or will you say that women are lesbians because some wear trousers? Honestly, most of you are just hypocrites and it's only God that can save you.

    Yuck!!! like criosly?is dt guy for real? There r men's bag but ds isnt one...gayism in action.

    ReplyDelete
  51. SMH.... Fashion in not for everybody oh, so just because some people will not dress in a particular way doesn't mean a law should prohibit others from doing that.
    I wonder why the first thing that NIGERIANS can ever say is GAY THIS OR GAY THAT... abeg the Jesus we(i use we because i was once myopic and now i realize i can't create even a frog so why judge mr. b am i perfect?) quote loved every sinner that is why, he died for us on the cross.
    Rapture has not taken place because we have not taken the gospel round this world and we all say we are God fearing Christians, how may of you can boast of the fruits and gifts of the holy spirit.
    Instead of your critics, which of you have ever reached out to those that choose that sexual orientation and preach to them or pray for them... remember Jesus let a so call froward woman wash his feet inspite of what the people tot.
    Please let us remove the loggs from our eyes before we try to remove the tiny fibres from our neighbour's eyes.

  75. Notok.com for any man to wear a purse!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Notok.com for any MAN to carry a bag/purse/clutch!! Nonsense!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Obviously some peepz here do not know that there is a bag for male now and if he decides to carry a female bag then that's his choice.You need to visit male online fashion site,you'll see lovely and correct leather bag for male.You'll absolutely love it.So it's not GAY at all.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I am very suspicious of Linda's topics sometimes. I know the guy in the picture and he's acted like a woman for years. Is he gay? I don't know - Look at the picture. But when a guy "catwalks" more than a girl would, even Linda then there's something. I feel Linda has a lot of sympathy for the gay community in Nigeria and is actively pushing for its entrenchment. While I don't support anyone saying they should be shot, I feel we should be careful about what we support as it will become too big and too much of a regret later in life. This lifestyle can't be natural, even nature shows this clearly. Linda, I I love you but be careful what you support. Blessings.
