Sir Bob Gelfof's Mulberry Bag
References: shoesaccessories.suite101
This is a trend which I don't really understand how it happened. Sir Bob Gelfof, has teamed up with Mulberry, a leading designer of leather goods, to create the 'Bob Bag'. The press released touts it as the ultimate man bag it is said to “have lot of compartmentsâ€.
POA so I can't imagine it is that cheap and FYI it comes on pre-order only.
Apparently it was all Bob's idea:
Implications - Certain fashion items, such as purses and jewelry, are iconically associated with the female gender. Despite their potential for practicality and use, these items downplay masculinity in a society where masculinity is a heavily stressed. As a result, few men are willing to experiment with them.
