Wacky Murses

The Trouser Bag is an Odd Way for Men to Carry Belongings

— June 12, 2009 — Fashion
If you think carrying a leather man purse is unacceptable, then you may be interested in a Trouser Bag.

This murse creation can most definitely be made at home as a craft project using an old pair of pants that have been grown out of. 

The Trouser Bag is perfect for the stubborn man who refuses to carry a half-decent leather murse.

Implications - With limited options available to men for storage of personal belongings and the stigma associated with men who carry murses, trouser bags are entering a virtually untapped market. Trouser bags are just the beginning in terms of practical and sublte storage -- even for women, the wrist-hanging clutch has replaced the over-the-top handbag as men and women alike try to reach a balance between practicality and style.
Trend Themes
1. Trouser Bags - Men's storage options are expanding with the emergence of unique and practical trouser bags made from repurposed pants.
2. Subtle Storage Solutions - The demand for practical and discreet storage options is leading to the development of innovative solutions like wrist-hanging clutches and trouser bags.
3. Gender-neutral Accessories - The rise of gender-neutral accessories like trouser bags and wrist-hanging clutches is disrupting traditional fashion norms and opening up new markets.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry has the opportunity to tap into the emerging gender-neutral accessories market, creating specialized designs for men and women.
2. Sustainable Fashion - Sustainable fashion brands can market trouser bags as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional leather murses.
3. Crafts and DIY - The creation of trouser bags as a DIY project highlights the potential market for crafting and sewing supplies, as people seek to create their own unique storage solutions.
