Think messenger bags for men usually are not for real men? Think again - according to my girlfriend, a fashion publisher at a popular Men's magazine, main fashion retail stores are maneuvering messenger bags for men from the once-mocked 'man bag' into the mainstream.

Apparently popular and much sought after brand names such as Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Fossil, Cole Haan, Ben Sherman, Tumi, Diesel, Oakley - and even that tough outdoorsy brand The North Face - all have their unique take on the messenger bag for men.

Choose from a sophisticated and stylish leather messenger bag for men; a casual canvas messenger bag or perhaps a more perfunctory laptop messenger bag for men and embrace the 21st century trends where man bags are not man bags, but now the re-branded, much improved (and even more masculine) messenger bags for men.

Still not certain? Does the very thought of holding a messenger bag conjure up images of the Friends episode in which Joey Tribbiani became in fact attached to his very useful and functional man bag (complete with sandwiches, of course) that rather unfortunately resembled granny's shopping bag?

Are you more of the opinion that 'real men' have backpacks - or - much better - a hot blonde with a mammoth designer bag in which to carry keys, shades, and anything else that might unfit in pockets? That was certainly my estimation. However, in the name of real love I agreed to try a leather messenger bag for men sent to my girlfriend's department as a sample.

I took lots of convincing (which was completely worth it) to opt-in to her little 'man bag' - sorry, messenger bag - experiment and I was sure I would not be swayed. But, really, it's incredible how functional a bag is.

No more bulging pockets with wallet, house keys, car keys, cell phone, ipod, earphones - the messenger bag for men has specific compartments for each item. Not to mention place for sandwiches....
