We've all heard of the man bag. Now meet the men's clutch.
If Bottega Veneta's fall/winter collection for 2009/2010 is any indication, these oversized purses will be the next big thing. Bottega Veneta's creative director Tomas Maier showed off the clutches alongside its new line at the recent Milan fashion week.
The color palette is distinctly masculine, with brown, beige, and truffle earth tones the order of the day. They coordinate perfectly with Bottega Veneta's soft suede shoes and classic tailored jackets.
But is a manly color range enough to convince the average Joe that he needs to carry a clutch?
Even the practical man bag was slow to catch on, so I have my doubts whether most guys will embrace this fashion fad. These oversized accessories may be more functional than the tiny purses many girls carry in the evenings, but it's hard to shatter a clutch's feminine image.
Perhaps this is one trend better left on the catwalk!

actually to me, these men’s clutches are much more acceptable than those tote bags which many younger generation carry nowadays especially in asia. many younger men even carry women’s tote bags now.
