My first interaction with the murse/man-clutch was in the early's 80's in Haiti. They were used by the males to hold their things and I am told they were popular in Europe at that time; thus that popularity spread to Haiti.

Another missionary/friend told the story of his trip back to the US for a few months, visiting the churches that supported him. (otherwise know as itinerating). Bubba was a wonderful Good-Ole-Boy (in the best sense possible...) and was wider than he was tall with a southern accent that you could not even slice!

After landing in Wheeling, WVA he is in the largest mall in the area with his wife and children. He realizes that people are stopping, pointing and staring at him. After doing a zipper check he comes to the awful realization that he has his man-clutch very obviously in his hand, attached to his wrist. He ditched that thing faster than a flea on a coon dog...

I still laugh when I thing of that visual. The other thing about Bubba was that I needed an interpreter to understand his English and often wondered how the Haitians did with understanding his Kreol.

I have one, but I’d like something I can sling over my shoulder easily and my backpack is too darn big.
cheers,
Jim

I’ll check it out. Thanks.
As you can see, I haven’t really looked that hard for a purse to date.
(Not that I’d date a purse...)
Cheers

I have something like that, but it’s too small - or I try to carry too much...

We used to call ‘em “haversacks”. :-)
Usually made out of canvas.

Forgot to add that they had the designer's name stenciled on them: "U.S.".

It’s more a fashion sense for me, but I like to wear very conservative styles (almost anachronistic) instead of the metrosexual crap that’s pushed on consumers these days. Can’t find them in stores, but online I can find my wing tips and McGregor jackets.

The purse is named "Gabrielle" and its price tag is a ridiculous $3,600. It's part of a larger strategy for fashion executives to push "gender-fluid" clothing on an unassuming public.

Uh huh. The wallet I carry cost five bucks. Williams wants me to carry a bag that costs $3600. Williams sells bags.

European carry their car registration documents in their murses. They are just about irreplaceable in some countries, apparently.

I was thinking iPad. I carry my iPad a few basic cosmetics, a wallet, my rosary, my Pix, and a very small brush. My purse is bigger than I need because I have a CC. This chubby old lady is not sporting a holster. Our son is a musician and carries his tools of the trade around with him. He also has a satchel for his Macbook Air but he doesn’t have an iPad. Even Mr. M carries a small soft briefcase sort of thing a lot of the time.

I was watching a red carpet fashion show today about the Met Gala. One of the fag commentators was discussing a celebs gown and he stated “it’s a very important dress.” Important to whom?

Scientists trying develop cures for cancer are important. Cops saving lives are important. Doctors are important. The military trying to keep us safe and alive are important. Who knew that dresses were also important?

“I don’t understand how in [Current Year] it’s still a big deal whether a man carries a bag.”

According to leftist scumbags a man needs a place to carry his tampax. I don’t want to know what he does with it.

I have lots of bags but like none of them.
Maybe it’s just me, LOL.

Well, yes.

The only ones questioning a man in suit and tie are those Anti-FA (anti-First Amendment, Anti-Free Association) types.

If you are a male and you carry a purse, you are a fag. Full stop.

Or you're holding it for your wife while she's in the fitting room trying on lingerie. True story.
