What men carry: passport and pants

A passport and a spare pair of underwear are among the top items that can be found in the modern male’s “man-bag”, new research suggests.

Other essentials that made the list included umbrellas (19 per cent), aftershave (21 per cent) and mobile phones (33 per cent).

Altogether the average value of items in a “he-holdall” comes to £104.8 (€123), just £4.28 (€5) less than the items in the average lady’s handbag, the poll suggested.

According to the research which was carried out on men in the UK, Northern Ireland man-bags contain the most expensive items (£147.27 [€172] on average) while lads’ luggage in Wales trail behind as the least expensive items (£63.42 [€74] on average).

The study, conducted by Opinion LLP for Direct Line Insurance, interviewed a random sample of 2,021 adults across the UK.

The results have been weighted to the profile of all adults in August 2011.

Omar: Comune S/S 2012 Holdall Bags

by Omar

With the fall settled in as well as the winter temperatures closing in on us quickly, more and more people are brandishing larger bags so that they can carry both their jackets as well any of their belongings. However, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't prep for summer and spring. Thankfully, Comune would seem to be trying to nip our demand in the bud with their cotton and leather holdalls. They seem like a rather nice alternative to the overwhelming influx of Herschel Supply. Co bags, don't they?
