Should men use tote bags?
Hey everyone,
Recently, I saw a leather tote bag in a shop. The bag is great, but does it look weird when men use such bags? I am also looking for a big leather bag that I can use while attending lectures and while working at my job. A bag to put things like a laptop, two or three notebooks, a pen or two, thermos, sunglasses and a cigarette pack.

Issa bag. Looks normal
I use one pretty much daily, but so do many people in Brooklyn regardless of gender. When I have the money, I’m gonna splurge on this bad boy: https://bellroy.com/products/tokyo-tote?color=saltbush&material=looma_weave&size=standard#slide-1

Which will be a step up from the one I got from subscribing to our local daily news outlet lol
Yes. Yes we should. I used to think that men were lucky because we have pockets. Now I think women are lucky because they have purses.
I have a market tote. It's pretty good too
Fuckin love tote bags
legit it's so nice not to have to throw all my stuff in my pockets and have giant rectangles showing
Boat and Tote is all you need
If you want something more professional something like a Filson bag might be better
I have a couple of leather totes that I use the hell out of—I love the way they look as they get beat up.
What would you recommend as a brand, Bellroy is too expensive for me 😦
What are you looking to use it for? Traveling to an office or just carrying stuff around?
For work / lectures and travelling
If you’re looking for leather, looking on Etsy could be a move
Lots of leathermakers on there
For cheap cheap canvas, you can just get an on-sale New Yorker subscription for the tote. I’m sure there’s plenty of blank canvas totes at your local craft store. Erik’s very likely correct about Etsy being a good option for leather.
New Yorker subscription is like $6
I got that new yorker bag it's great
I also love getting random merch totes
I have a cool tote from a bagel store in mtl that my ex got me during a visit and it's awesome
That’s sick. The more niche the tote, the more fun it is to walk around with it imo
I use an online ceramics tote bag it’s cute as shit. Makes me look like a preschool teacher
In another style the one from Uniqlo is great : https://www.uniqlo.com/fr/fr/product/sac-a-bandouliere-et-cordons-uniqlo-u-461185.html
