Trend alert: wooden brown bags

Because a man needs to carry his "stuff" around just like any other girl does, and because he deserves to do it with style, designers such as British divo Alexander McQueen to Balenciaga's French sensation Nicholas Ghesquiere, are including wooden brown sacs - mainly totes - in their accessories collection.

Although totes and others for men have always been around, the first man purse ever designed to hit the stores in a major way and attract the style thirsty male customers was the "Novak" purse designed by McQueen last year. Wooden brown and maroon red were the two colors to select from and since then more avant-garde designs were set to appear on store.

This summer, wooden brown bags are a must have item. Tomas Maier's designs are fabulous in every aspect of mere importance:functionality, versatility, and style. His latest tote can be used either on the sunny streets of Miami or in the ever rainy cold city of London. Whether you are planning on carrying your cellphone and some papers or your cutting edge notebook, totes are best way to do it - believe me, once they become a part of your daily wardrobe there won't by any other bag that will satisfy your high-standard wishes.
