Since the dawn of its birth and even more so after Joey in Friends appeared in an episode proudly carrying one- the man purse, the male handbag to some, has been a well argued and documented fashion trend. It is one of those fashion must haves that has had its pros and cons dissected and discussed to the extreme. Yet it seems that this male fashion accessory is still considered by many as a de-masculinating trend for the everyday average man.
In a world were the metro sexuality movement is making millions for the beauty and fashion industry, the man purse is still a taboo style that seems to mainly attract gay men or the Fashionista males in the fashion industry, who show no shame as they proudly swing their Vuitton and Gucci’s with pride while strutting down fashionable avenues.
In Paris, the man purse trend has taken hold like an unexpected fashion wild fire. All and sundry, young and old, gay and straight have somehow managed to achieve the “impossible” by looking more masculine when carrying their man purse. It is in this European city that the man purse has been embraced and taken to higher heights with matching wallets to accompany their fabulous and expensive man purses.
Any dedicated Fashionista can try coming up with many reasons to explain this epidemic but an effortless yet acceptable reason for the surprising uptake of this trend is that in Paris the man purse is not distinguished just as a man purse, but simply as a purse.
So therefore, it is not unusual to witness this magnificent fashion accessory walking down the Avenue Montaigne near the Champs-Elysées or Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. The man purse trend in Paris has even gone as far as one being able to sometimes catch sight of a Parisian couple strutting with their matching purses and looking like the epitome of fashion.
