The options for the ladies are vast in number, but this refined collection of mens shoulder bags looks to highlight some of the chicest creations on the market. The modern man can't navigate the city or the everyday without a bag to store his loot in, which is why these bags are perfectly understated for the distinguished gentleman.
The term 'murse' is embarrassing to say the least, which is why these bags try and stay away from such a description. They aren't purses for men, but rather satchels and messenger bags that hang off a guys shoulder to help keep his must-haves on-hand without looking frumpy or too serious. An urban professional man needs a should bag that does cry out for attention, but that also isn't invisible; these selections help do just that.
