MEn wEAriNg (LADieS’) HAndDaGs

If I were you I wouldn't miss the chance to spend 10 minutes to read a nice article about this new trend: men wearing handbags. Mainly ladies handbags. PingMag, one of the most interesting site over the web, has made an accurate analysis of the phenomenon. Well done.
