In China, Men Carry the Purse

If Chinese businessmen are harbingers of fashion and style, get ready to sell a ton of purses! Hip Chinese men are now toting expensive purses that previously were exclusively the domain of women.

The 41-year-old investor was dressed in the unofficial uniform of Chinese businessmen: dark blazer, crisp white shirt, designer slacks, silky tan socks, hand-tooled loafers — and an expensive purse.

Lest anyone think the $500 Dunhill clutch with dual bronze zippers belonged to his wife, he proudly explained how his business cards, cash and two cellphones fit neatly into its buttery leather interior.

According to one report, in China men buy 45 percent of all luxury handbags!
