Small men's shoulder bags

However, nowadays, small bags that men carry over the shoulder are incredibly popular. Leather - for elegant, serious men, textile - for athletic and active.

When we hear the phrase "small men's bag", we most often recall the handbag popular in Russia in the 90s.

• HIT-pack. A small bag that can be carried both on the belt and over the shoulder. For young people leading an active lifestyle, the most suitable option.

The perfect holster bag uses buckles and straps to fit over the body to follow the contours of the body. This fashion accessory is a stylish addition to the brutal male look.

In ordinary life (outside the catwalks) there is a dependence of the color of a man's bag on the material from which it is made.

Genuine leather models, as a rule, black, brown, gray or dark blue. In classic men's fashion, leather bags of bright colors are extremely rare.
