GET THAT BAG, BOY!

Purses for men might seem like a modern phenomenon but, just like high heels, sartorial bags have been a fashion staple for men for a hot minute. Even Ötzi the Iceman, Europe’s oldest natural mummy, carried a simple leather purse. Albeit, these ancient purses were primarily functional, unlike a baby pink Bottega Veneta tote that A$AP Rocky would carry today. Leather was a common material, and designs were often simple pouches with drawstrings for closure, typically tied around the waist or worn with a strap. Back at home, potlis were all the rage. Men of the Mughal Empire carried these elaborate pouches typically made of silk, adorned with intricate embroidery, and embellishments.
