Designers until now could not determine, how the portfolios should look. Nevertheless, another thing is obvious: many men prefer handbags. Many years back in streets of Paris it was possible to meet men with man's handbags in their hands. To tell the truth, these most man's handbags (such symbiosis of a purse and a portfolio), under the form and the contents reminded one of a small trunk. They did not go at all with a man's suit and associated with it the concept "a man's accessory?," a little. Probably, therefore contrary to all predictions they have not grown accustomed to it in Great Britain.
The portfolios review.
The majority of the English men adhere to a similar opinion. These portfolios brands are too small, as thick portfolios also look somehow clumsy, - Bill Amber, the designer of leather products speaks. Abundantly clearly, that demand on portfolios brands has not fallen last years. However, demand for practical, modest bags of a courageous style has grown. It happens so because men began to carry many different accessories. The portfolios brands have flourished!
Twenty years ago, two subjects were included into an obligatory men's set - a purse and keys only. Now, add to this a bottle of mineral water, an electronic organizer and at least some cosmetic products together with a cell phone. In a man's fashion new tendencies have appeared. Now, as never earlier, men's bags are required in casual style, - Anna Glenn, the employee of one of shops of trading network John Lewis asserts.
Recently, the bag Messenger (a bag of the mail carrier), has had the big success, but the demand for leather and fabric bags, which can be carried freely, and at any time of the day, has grown. In our man's collection, there were many such bags.
It is interesting, that thus designers of portfolios brands and sellers of fashionable clothes, until now, could not answer a question about a true man's bag of their imagination. Everyone has a different criteria and requirements. For example, Bill Amber advises men to buy so-called bag Magazine (the big bag for magazines and newspapers) in a casual style, with the handle fitted cowhide.
Inside the bag, there are special pockets for a wallet, laptop and bottles of mineral water. You should not have to rummage through a bag to have to search for different items! Men of distinction also buy special belts with pockets for paper money and coins. However, there are some men who hunt for the smaller bags. Amber has opened recently a studio for tailoring such bags, and has been struck with a great demand for production. He believes, that necessity has led to the creation of a new type of a purse for men. However, there were some disagreements between designers on this, too. The matter is that nobody knows how this accessory particularly should look. One client works in musical business. He has sewed a purse with pockets for three players. In addition, another client who suffers from diabetes has bought a purse with a pocket where he puts capsules with insulin!
The problems of the creation of an ideal man's bag have become interesting, not only for designers, but also for the manufacturers.
