The Murse

According to the most reliable source on the internet, www.urbandictionary.com, the murse can be defined as:

Combining the words man and purse into one word; has the same definition as man purse. (4th defnition)

or

A man's designer bag, to hold a laptop and other man supplies, such as bongs, pipes and firearms.

The second definition given suddenly rectifies referring to a man's bag as a "purse", doesn't it? Although I don't personally approve of any firearms. Or vessels used to smoke weed. Or any kind of smoking for that matter.


That being said, let us delve into the world of murses!

They're all chic in their own way, and can be carried using a shoulder strap so that they resemble a messenger bag or by using the handles so they look like...well...a purse. But a manly one.

I guess it's about time the fashion industry started coming up with these things. We keep talking about how women should be given the right to wear pants and be on the same level as our male counterparts, so why shouldn't guys be allowed to be more fashionable? Plus, at least now if there's a formal or classy event guys don't have to walk around with their grungy backpacks or have bulky pockets (which are as unappealing as the grungy backpacks, by the way).

Now, these things are just like our feminine purses in the sense that it has a lot of pockets and zippers inside. Only difference is they're probably going to be more organized and the owners won't be perpetually looking for something underneath all the paraphernalia we women tend to keep in our bags.

Here's a great example of a manly man purse. This one's by 2unfold and it's handcrafted in Italy. The great thing about this is that it can be used in several ways, one being using it as a laptop bag. Oh oh! And looks good on women too!

Hm. I wonder why we don't call our bags wurses.
