Sons and daughters are planning on buying their fathers new bags this Father's Day to replace their ageing briefcases.
As more and more men carry bags over the shoulder to accommodate their growing number of must have gadgets, briefcases have also undergone a design revolution.
No longer do briefcases come with just handles, they nearly all now incorporate a shoulder strap making them more like messenger bags and they are available in a wider variety of materials including a range of both structured and soft leathers, canvas, hemp and even vegan faux leather .
"In fact the traditional briefcase is all but dead," said founder of online man bag shop Blokesbags, David Gledhill "Until just a few years ago briefcases were the only bag a man would be seen dead with, but with the proliferation of must have gadgets, bags have adjusted to meet the need"
Now men happily carry bags that have been specifically designed to accommodate their laptops , ipads, mobile phones, cameras and MP3 players. And they come in all shapes and sizes from handbags through shoulder bags, to messenger bags and holdalls.
"Because designers have started more or less from scratch, men's bags are in many ways more advanced than women's. They have been designed with specific needs in mind rather than large compartments that simply fill up," said David
Last year http://www.blokesbags.co.uk saw a peak in sales around Father's Day with offspring determined to modernise their father's accessories and this year the demand is expected to climb further.
"Through necessity bags for men have caught on very quickly and it is obvious that they are here to stay and even younger children, aided and abetted by their mothers, are determined to get their Dads carrying the right one."
