| It's
in the Bag |
 |
 |
|
If
you've ever worn skinny jeans while trying to
carry a mobile phone, your wallet and a pack of fags,
then you'll also have discovered that the male
equivalent of penis envy is in fact not for the womb,
but the handbag.
|
|
Crushed
smokes, random phone calls, unsightly trouser bulges
- and whilst most men wouldn't mind a little boost in
the old bulge department, not like this. And that's
before you add a drink to the equation. Why wouldn't
every sensible boy secretly desire a handbag?
And while a few years back we'd have to make do with
whatever man purse Gonzalo Comella would see fit, we
can now pick and choose. Jean
Pierre Bua, La
Comercial, La
Boutique and Santa
Eulalia are all capable of satisfying the most demanding
of label whores. And now they've also got company, care
of The Outpost.

Quietly
opened earlier this year, the store specializes
in men's shoes and accessories, carrying
names like Balenciaga, Jil Sander, and Comme des
Garçons. I think I now know what women
felt when first given the right to vote.
