Yeah, but the one in the link I posted is a bit on the feminine side.
I didn't think they were. So many items are now unisex that I don't think anyone would think of a man or a woman carrying one of the bags pictured. I think if you have something to carry, it only makes sense to do it in a bag. These I wolud class as "bags" not purses or murses.
When I go to the restroom in a busy place, I always have my husband keep my purse, he doesn't seem to mind being seen with it but it is more of a "tote bag". Now, if a guy is carrying a pink purse with rhinestones.......... but then again, to each his/her own. Since I am past the junior high school years, I just look, think "OK" and go on with my business.
Number 12 is VERY feminine. I could feel comfortable wearing that one! Also, the last one is pretty girly, too. I would feel slightly uncomfortable seeing a male carry it unless maybe he's carrying it for his girlfriend. The models, though, looked so femme that they could be women.
The French have set fashion trend for ages. (art, clothing, etc.)
Men used to wear makeup, and that was the day and age.
Makeup used to be thought of as only something someone on stage would do, and was related to prostitution, actors.
Wigs? The Brits and the French, also Americans in the early days of court.
It was men wearing the wigs...
Times change. Go with the flow. It's evolution. The more shi* you get, the more you need to carry it around with you.
Whatever that looks like, is miniscule, or fashionable, depending upon who or what Fashion designer describes it.
What is important, is the person carrying it.
I know that fashion trends change throughout the ages. Still, though, people develop schemas and expectations for "masculine" and "feminine." Personally, though, I would like to see the lines blurred to unrecognizable. Men and women can still distinguish themselves as "different" without limiting their options.

Why would you or anyone feel uncofortable at the sight of a man carrying a bag, feminine looking or not? If hes not your husband why would you care either way and even if it was your husband I thought you were supposed to love him for better or for worse?

Good question...I don't know. I guess "uncomfortable" was the wrong word. It was kind of the reaction I would get to a man wearing a kilt around here; that's not out of place for him but unusual to me. If I saw a flamboyantly-dressed young man with a bag like that, I would probably wonder (a) if he's gay, (b) if he's carrying it for his girlfriend, or (c) if perhaps he's in a strange play set in another country, or another planet, that requires it as a prop. The bag just seemed out of place as everyday menswear in this country. Of course, I don't know, and I will probably see these new trends at a college campus next Spring or something. It's amazing how impressionable young teenagers are if the "right" people tell them what to do... I wish I could get my kids to listen to me like that!
As for my personal opinion, I'm weird. I like men who push the envelope and think outside of the box. A guy in a kilt and tights (not on a dare) would be oddly attractive to me.

I use a back pack daily for my lap top, drawing tablet, and rescue gear, made by swiss army .
does that count ?
I wear a black T shirt and levis and tennis shoes and ride a motorcycle.
I wouldn't give those a second look. Why shouldn't a guy have something to carry around they can fill with their own stuff? Doesn't bother me and wouldn't impact my feelings about a guy.

I think I get what youre saying. I think for me it would be if i saw something like that it wouldnt bother me at all but i would do a quick double take to make sure that i wasnt seeing things.

No, the right kilt looks like a skirt. I find international clothing that sort of blurs the lines classic and distinctly masculine, though. Women have been wearing their own versions of everything for several years. Why can't the guys catch up? If we relaxed the standards of what's "feminine" and "masculine," perhaps we could eliminate a lot of trepedation heterosexual men express concerning experimenting with men's fashion?
