Now we all know that there’s nothing to be ashamed of concerning owning a man bag, however there are still some fashion-ignorant fools who will continue to crack jokes about how it’s only girls who would carry a bag about. Well now’s the time to put them in their place by letting them know they’re the stupid ones and that you’re just one in a very long line of very cool and well dressed men as these five celeb mens bag lovers prove

1. Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt has proven that’s not only proud to be seen with man bags, but with male nappy / diaper bags too (it’s amazing what being in a relationship with one of the hottest women in the world does for you…). In this particular case Mr Pitt has chosen to go for the Charcoal Brit Check Knowles Bag from Burberry (also known as a super posh messenger bag).

The Burberry Charcoal Brit Check Knowles Day Bag is available from My Wardrobe.

2. David Beckham

A man who is proud to be seen with a man bag or two is David Beckham and this over-sized Louis Vuitton holdall ensures that everyone know it.

You can grab your own (if you’ve got the bank balance) from Louis Vuitton.

3. Robert Downey Jr

A fan of the small compact man bag, Robert Downey Jr is either a little shy about carrying a bag or just super organised. Personally we hope it’s the second because Robert there really is nothing to be ashamed about having a man bag.

Looking for something similar? Mulberry’s Anthony Small Bag range is well worth checking out and is available at My Wardrobe.

4. Peter Andre

Proving he’s every bit as stylish and flush with money as David Beckham, Peter Andre has been spotted more than once with his own designer Louis Vuitton man bags. In this case it’s the rather stylish and compact messenger bag version.

Like David’s holdall, you can grab your own LV bag from the Louis Vuitton website.

5. Christiano Ronaldo

Whilst most guys like to have their man bags with a strap that will allow you to wear it across your body Christiano Ronaldo likes to do it different instead more happy with a clutch style bag that he can hook under his arm. In this case his clutch of choice is a nice little Gucci number.

Don’t know about you, but whilst we find the male clutch bag to be a winner in terms of compactness, let’s be honest it’s one darn hard look to pull off!

You can find a selection of Gucci man bags on their official website.

5. Camelbak Classic

The older and more basic version of the Camelbak Octane LR this bag keeps things very simple and drops the waistband offering stability only through the shoulder straps. Personally we’d only recommend it for shorter runs, but if cost is a factor then this is one well worth considering.
