Think messenger bags for men are not for real men? Reconsider - in accordance with my girlfriend, a fashion publisher at a popular Men's magazine, main fashion retailers are maneuvering messenger bags for men from the once-mocked 'man bag' into the mainstream.

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

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

Still not convinced? Does the thought of carrying a messenger bag conjure up pictures of the Friends episode in which Joey Tribbiani became in fact attached to his very useful and well-designed man bag (complete with snacks, of course) which rather unfortunately resembled granny's shopping bag?

Are you more of the feeling that 'real men' have backpacks - or - much better - a hot blonde with a mammoth designer bag in which to hold keys, sunglasses, and other things that may not fit in pockets? That was surely my estimation. However, in the name of real love I decided to try a leather messenger bag for men delivered to my girlfriend's department as a sample.

I took a lot of convincing (that was completely worth it) to opt-in to her small 'man bag' - sorry, messenger bag - experiment and I was positive I would not be influenced. But, really, it's amazing how functional a bag is.

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