A leather bag is no longer a purely feminine accessory. Since ancient times, men have carried their belongings in a suitcase, briefcase or purse. A men's bag is not only a convenient and practical accessory, it is also a good addition to a business look. It’s not difficult to choose one; it’s important to follow a few simple rules.
Criteria for choosing a leather men's bag
The first thing you need to pay attention to when buying a men's bag is the material and its quality. Modern models are made from:
- genuine leather or suede. This option is particularly durable and wear-resistant. A leather item well treated with special impregnation and properly sewn will serve its owner for a long time.. Genuine leather is easy to clean, has good thickness, and is also resistant to temperature changes and various types of precipitation. In general, this model is very elegant, and with a high probability it will not go out of fashion for a long time;
- artificial leather.According to the erroneous opinion, it is believed that unnatural material is a sign of a low-quality, cheap item. In modern realities, everything is completely different. Some artificial leather substitutes have the same properties as natural material. When purchasing, carefully inspect the item so as not to stumble upon a low-quality product.
Secondly, when purchasing a bag, pay attention to the lining. It should be sewn from dense fabric that does not crumble, does not dye, and sits tightly inside the product. The number of internal pockets and compartments is also important. Choose the option that is most convenient for you.
Thirdly, look at the quality and color of the fittings. It should not be shabby or scratched. All locks, magnets and buttons should work flawlessly.

Choosing a leather bag according to your style
A leather bag can be incorporated into absolutely any look.Perhaps for a sporty style it is better to opt for a textile backpack (but you can also choose a leather backpack in a sporty direction).
For everyday style (walking, going to the cinema, going to the shopping center, etc.), it is better to pay attention to a comfortable small bag such as a tablet over your shoulder, a purse or a backpack over your shoulders.
If you work in an office, study at a university, that is, maintain a business style, then take a closer look at a briefcase, folder, or even a mail carrier. For a grand entrance, a man can either do without a bag or take with him a small purse or wallet (similar to a woman’s clutch, but for men).
