It began in France more than 30 years ago.

They are so convenient.

I would not leave home without one.

It is one of three signs of your social economic status here. People will judge you quickly by looking at your manbag, shoes and belt buckle.

Because somewhere, sometime one Chinese man saw a man bag in a western movie or tv show of some sort..and decided he wanted to emulate this awesome western trend. Now everyone must keep up with the Liu's.

Btw.. I personally call them a "Murse". (Man Purse)

More difficult to steal a man purse than a wallet. It does mean something of status in China.

Probably the men here are so used to carrying their girlfriend's purse, so they feel the need to have one too.
