In 2024, the modern man is seldom seen without a designer bag in hand. Gone are the days when purses were exclusive to the ladies' department. Now many gents are embracing the comforts of having one's belongings in a compact yet chic carrier. Overseas, the likes of Jacob Elordi and A$AP Rocky have been making sartorial statements with looks that feature a luxe tote. Meanwhile, on our local shores, there are a handful of leading men who've made a designer bag a mainstay in their OOTDs. Check out the exact ones we spotted below.
The Exact Designer Bags Spotted on Stylish Filipino Men
James Reid
James Reid has quite an extensive collection of luxury bags, which he showcases whenever he puts on one of his trademark boy-next-door 'fits. One that stands out is his cavernous Bottega Veneta Andiamo. Named after the Italian word for "let's go," the piece is distinguished by its signature woven leather exterior and gold knot detail.

Kyle Echarri
For a guy-on-the-go like Kyle Echarri, Prada's extra-large shoulder bag is a much-appreciated companion. The Gen Z actor's tote has some signs of wear and tear, which adds to its endearing, lived-in vibe.

On a recent trip to Japan, Ruru Madrid teamed his leopard-print jacket and Golden Goose sneakers with a spacious Louis Vuitton Atlantis tote.
