I spoke to the owner of a man bag once who claimed he was straight

Has your other half asked for one as a gift, or shown interest in one? It may be time to have relationship mediation of some kind, before he declares an interest in Alan Carr and new shaped VW Beetles

Alas, my testosterone levels and appreciation of the opposite sex mean I unable to help in this instance

About 60% of these are fine IMHO

Don't get anything with a print or that looks like a school satchel.

If getting leather, get it pre distressed as it'll always look good, shiny will look poop after a week.
