Men's Bags #1

Hermes Jipsy- though meant for women its size makes me suspect it'll be in more than a few men's closets this time next year...

I want one.

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Oh yes I'm narrow minded because my opinion differs. Good one.

I apologize. That was unjustly said.

 

[ETROsexualJ]

The Jipsy should not be on any man, even the most petite.

 

[MJCouture]

^I agree. It looks like one of those shoulder bags old women in Paris always carry. Its very dainty.

all hermes bags look like old women bags- i wouldn't call it dainty though

save for the HAC and SAD the brands men's offerings have been pretty piss poor- the steve messenger is a floppy mess of a bag

 

[MJCouture]

Dainty was probably the wrong word, but I wanted to avoid just saying feminine, cause its not really directly that either.

 

[Alejandro]

speaking of hermes aw08 bags...what's the name of this one? i want it

style

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

I believe it's called So Kelly or something along that line...and apparently it might come in 26 and 22 cm

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Ooh and since those jipsy bags are in the neighborhood of 7K to 8K...I guess the So kellys will probably be around 6Kish...I don't know... I find some of these newer designs a little uninspiring...

 

[travis_nw8]

^ well they need to add some variation- even the most devoted of clients can have birkin/ kelly overkill!- although saying that i've seen soo few of the catwalk pieces on the street- i've only ever seen two women (well gulf state teenagers) carry the 'crushable' birkin from last summer

The Jipsy should not be on any man, even the most petite.

or fey

Prada + Nylon = my cue to puke

i got no huge issues with synthetic fabrics per se (except that i hate to wear it directly on my skin), but charging over 1k for a bag that will melt into sticky mess under heat is a little too out there for me.

 

[Alejandro]

^oh honey, everytime i see my bf run around with his nylon messenger, i cringe at the thought of him thinking its great.

then again, whatever, i'll look better next to him then


:snaps weave:

 

[Crying Diamonds]

The BV, the Marni and the Hermes are gorgeous

[Crying Diamonds]

And omg, I totally agree about the bag - blergh!!

i found an article from iht on the so kelly/gypsy bag and it said that the gypsy is unisex. gaultier wore one at the end of the show. that said, i still don't like it. i need a so kelly!! a knockoff, of course
