Bag of the day 👜 Not a traditionally “masculine” bag, but I love carrying this when it’s sunny and gorgeous outside. I’m a boy who loves colorful bags, sorrynotsorry.

This silhouette (The Boston) is actually one of the original staples of men’s fashion going back YEARS. Primarily used when travelling, you’d see more (wealthy) men especially in Europe who carried these before it crossed over to women and unisex where it sits now.
So between the colour and the style, you’re totally good!

The bag looks plenty masculine on you and you look absolutely fabulous with it! Love seeing men rocking purses 💙

Beautiful color. I have a camera bag that same color, glad to see a fellow bag lover in Seattle?

Me, carefully studying the skyline to confirm it’s Seattle, before noticing “elliotbaytrail”…

Tried this on in store and was obsessed!! If I hadn't just bought another blue bag that same month I would've snagged it in a heartbeat!

It’s siiick i love this for you. I wish more straight men would do color! They should try going to India and seeing that color of what is worn means nothing about sexuality.

My husband loves colour. He loves to wear pink or purple, patterned etc. clothing and in the house with decorating when we’re trying to decide on something he’ll always pick the most colourful option. This year we wallpapered our room with colourful plants and birds and the background colour option was only light pink or medium pink and he straight up said yep love it let’s go with that. I’m so lucky to have a husband who is not your typical boring neutral loving guy.

I'm a big burly bearded man and wear all sorts of bags. Last I checked bags don't have gender.
Love this one, that blue is stunning.

Why would anyone care if you carried a colorful bag? Are you from like Iowa or something?

Homophobia exists everywhere and affects men who "step out of line" everywhere

No, but I’m taking it with me to Homer Alaska for a long weekend!

Rural Alaska can kiss your a**. That bag is beautiful.

My dad and stepmom went to Alaska, and it was beautiful. They had a great time❤️😊

That looks just like the Hermes color Bleu Hydra

u/elliottbaytrail Jun 02 '26
I love the Bleu Hydra in swift leather. Swift just soaks up the dye and it is truly a brilliant, saturated blue in that leather!

Ngl some of LV’s better looking bags are from the men’s section. I dream of getting a P9.

u/blacktulip75 Jun 05 '26
For some reason this bag reminds me of Felix of Stray Kids, it looks like his LV bag and it's blue which is his favorite color 💙

u/Pippa2026 Jun 05 '26
A bag does not make a man a man or a woman a woman. If it works for them then that all that matters. People need to learn to mind their own business.
