What Was Really Over His Shoulder?
For many people, Michelangelo’s statue of David represents the ideal man; strong, confident, purposeful and just. But what many don’t know is that the original statue included a very different kind of sling—the manbag kind! The original statue sported a satchel David used to carry the famous sling that slew Goliath. And why not? You go to a rock fight, you better bring extra rocks. And what better way than a stylish Italian man bag--practical, trendy, manly. But alas, David’s satchel was too fashion-forward for the times and big D’s manbag was chiseled off and lost to the Ages forever. But the manbag lives on!
The Need
Face it. Gone are the days where everything you needed to survive a day in this modern fast-paced world can fit in your pocket. It’s just not doable any more. If you’re roaming around the streets with just your wallet in your pocket, you’re under-equipped for life, or you’re cheating and getting your other half to cart around your stuff. And that’s not cool.
But the good news is that the Gentleman’s Satchel (or ‘Man Bag’, if you will) is no longer just for the metrosexual man. It’s now acceptable for us all to have them. And, in fact, we all should! What’s even better news is that there is now a vast range of different options available to cart our stuff around in comfort and style.
Why the bag?
Let’s start with basics. Some of you guys may not know what you could need throughout the day to make up such an apparatus. It’s not uncommon for guys to assume they’ll somehow just bounce around their day and come out the other side with no problems. This is a severe LACK OF PLANNING. So what happens when the unthinkable happens, and all you have to contribute to the solution is a few coins, an old condom and your licence? Even MacGuyver couldn’t fix a problem armed with that! Get a manbag and carry it with pride!
