6 best designer bags for men in 2025

Gone are the days when designer bags were only for women! Thanks to men’s fashion icons like A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator, Jacob Elordi, and Harry Styles, bags for men are now staples in many designers’ collections. As men seek both practicality and style, designer bags have become an essential part of their wardrobe: a nice bag blends utility and elegance. Now that purses and satchels no longer hold a strictly feminine connotation, guys worldwide are becoming bag fanatics.

If you’re looking to splurge on a little bit of luxury during this sale season, then do we have a treat for you. From Bottega Veneta and Lemaire to Marni and Jacquemus, these designer bags for men are the coolest of the season.

Parisian with a Japanese twist, French label Lemaire is quickly becoming a fashion industry darling. Their iconic Croissant crossbody bag comes in three practical sizes and a wide array of materials, like soft Nappa leather, coated cotton, or even polyester net. These pastry-shaped bags perfectly wrap around the body thanks to their ergonomic shape, making for ultimate ease and coolness, and come in the signature Lemaire muted, earthy tones. The large size comfortably fits a 13-inch laptop, making it the perfect work bag, while the small and medium sizes make for great everyday wear.

One of Jacob Elordi’s favourite bags, the Bottega Veneta Andiamo—meaning “Let’s go” in Italian—is a bit of a splurge, but worth every penny. Crafted in Bottega Veneta’s signature leather Intrecciato—as well as more summery fabrications—, the Andiamo is the ideal bag to go places, the perfect adventure companion. Available in three sizes, this carryall bag features sliding braided straps with a metal knot fastener, which makes it adjustable over the shoulder or across the body.

If you’re the type to never sacrifice style even when on the road, the iconic Louis Vuitton Keepall is the travel buddy for you. From the compact Keepall 25 and the versatile 45 to the spacious LV Keepall 55 or 60, this travel bag can handle anything from your daily essentials to a weekend getaway, or even an extended holiday. The adjustable strap makes it even more practical. While the current Bandoulière model comes in an array of prints and pastel colours, if you’re looking for a classic LV monogram there are plenty of pre-loved options out there.

Milanese brand Marni is well-known for experimental craftsmanship and off-beat approach to luxury, and their Tribeca shoulder bag totally fits the bill. Crafted in polyurethane and polyester with a shoelace-style shoulder strap, this small but mighty bag will fit all your essentials.

A messenger bag is a classic style that you can rarely go wrong with, and Jacquemus’ Le Petit Messenger Bambino adds a modern twist to this timeless design. Crafted in soft nylon with leather details, the Petit Messenger Bambino is unexpectedly roomy, and a great option for daily use. It was presented as part of Jacquemus’ SS24 collection “Les Sculptures”, a surrealist take on the bourgeois aesthetic.

If you’re a sucker for Italian style, Luca Faloni’s Weekender is the bag for you. Handcrafted in Northern Italy with the finest vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather from Santa Croce, Tuscany, this bag is guaranteed to last forever and only get better with age. It features a canvas shoulder strap for ease and a dustbag with key and padlock for secure storage. It’s also airline-approved, fitting snugly as cabin hand luggage.
