THE MURSE (man purse)

A long time staple in men’s fashion in Europe for decades, it is just now hitting the United States; with how can one put it, little fanfare. Men here in the states believe it emasculate them, men in America have so many hang-ups.


While living in Paris I had a Murse and wore scarves year round, like most men in Europe, came home with these traditions and was looked at like I had grown horns on my head or something.

The Murse is not for all men, obviously, but what we have to carry these days, a smart bag would help! I carry a messenger bag that I use as a Murse, putting everything in it, cell phone, business cards, wallet, pens, my steno pad…etc. It is very practical to have a Murse, now Chanel’s Murses are a little effeminate but there are Murses that are most masculine.

It takes a confident man to carry a Murse, he must be confident in his manliness, his sexuality…etc
