I know, I know..it sounds like a dance from the 1960s, but it's the furthest thing from vintage. It's the newest thing in men's fashion, a combination of (<em>you guessed it... </em>) man and purse. A bag for men, if you will. The new blog <a href="http://www.mursegame.com/">Murse Game</a> even chronicles this trend, featuring street-style photos of men proudly showing off their bags. <br /><br />Have you spotted any Murses yet? Fun fact: My father always carried a messenger bag to work, so I figure he started the trend, don't you? :)<br /><br />P.S. More examples of Murses <a href="http://www.mursegame.com/day/2011/12/14">here</a>.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/mursegame-the-man-purse-blog-with-attitude">Refinery29</a>]
