Think messenger bags for men are not for real men? Reconsider - as outlined by my girlfriend, a fashion publisher at a well-known Men's magazine, major fashion retailers are maneuvering messenger bags for men from the once-mocked 'man bag' into the mainstream.

Apparently popular and much sought after brands for example Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Fossil, Cole Haan, Ben Sherman, Tumi, Diesel, Oakley - and also that tough outdoorsy brand name The North Face - all have their own take on the messenger bag for men.

Pick from a sophisticated and stylish leather messenger bag for men; a casual canvas messenger bag or an even more perfunctory laptop messenger bag for men and adapt to the 21st century trends where man bags are not man bags, but now the re-branded, much enhanced (and much more manly) messenger bags for men.

Still not convinced? Does the very thought of carrying a messenger bag envision pictures of the Friends episode in which Joey Tribbiani became in fact attached to his extremely practical and well-designed man bag (complete with sandwiches, of course) which rather unfortunately was similar to granny's shopping bag?

Are you more of the thought that 'real men' have backpacks - or - much better - a hot blonde with a broad designer handbag in which to hold keys, sunglasses, and anything else that might not fit in pockets? That is absolutely my estimation. However, in the true love I decided to try a leather messenger bag for men sent to my girlfriend's department as a sample.

I took a lot of persuading (that was completely worthwhile) to sign up to her small 'man bag' - sorry, messenger bag - experiment and I was positive I would not be swayed. But, really, it's amazing how useful a bag is.

Get rid of bulging pockets with wallet, house keys, car keys, mobile phone, ipod device, headphones - the messenger bag for men has certain compartments for each item. Not to mention space for snacks....
