The trinity of man bags: No murses allowed

We've said it before, and we'll most likely say it again. The bag world is female-centric. Sure, the murse is everywhere, but that's not a man bag, that's a woman's bag for men. Schematics, yes, but true.

That's why we were pleased to come across three companies that make bags that are undeniably masculine in their own fields, those being luggage, computer and diaper. Yes, we're talking about diaper bags, too.

Meet QWSTION, BOOQ and Diaper Dude, our holy trinity of man bags*:

QWSTION: Luggage

Diaper Bags for Dad

QWSTION are out of Zurich, Switzerland and pride themselves, rightfully so, on not being motivated by seasons, but their desire to innovate essentials. They are functional bags for a metropolitan world.

According to their website: "bags are built from a functional perspective: to deliver a design solution for a practical demand, whilst giving the product a distinctive look. Inspired by the detailing in Swiss parachuting apparatus, the strap belt and quick release buckle are morphed into a waxed canvas fabric base to redefine the standard look of luggage."

That sounds like man bags.

Next is BOOQ, they make some very cool computer bags. BOOQ "strives to create high-end laptop bags while providing excellent customer service to the next generation of ambitious creative professionals." Their bags are water-resistant and incredibly stylish.

They don't just carry your laptop, they carry your everything.

Diaper Dude is the one company here that is specifically marketed to men. They make diaper bags and other accessories that men can carry without embarrassment. You wont find flowers and pink straps here, you'll find camouflage and masculine design.

That's right, masculine diaper bags.

There you are fellas, bags that any man would be proud to carry.

*presenting these bags (and their respective manufacturers) as products for men is for the purpose of this post, and is not to suggest that the companies have deemed them to be exclusively so

I have a booq Folee 2L and it's a great bag. A little big and definitely over priced but worth it.

I agree with the recent rec from GQ or something (not the first time I've heard it though), for a diaper bag, something like a Filson tote is great and functional once the tot is out of diapers.
