Is there a place for handbags in men's closets? Loewe and these A-list celebrities seem to think so
Loewe has just unveiled its spring-summer 2023 men's campaign shot by David Sims. With portrait-like and still-life compositions, the campaign references the works of British painter William Nicholson and American photographer George Platt Lynes, all crafted with the masterful direction of Loewe’s creative director Jonathan Anderson. A few of the standout images from the campaign are Loewe ambassadors Josh O´Connor and Stéphane Bak posing with Loewe handbags.
This begs the question: Are designer handbags going to be a staple in menswear this year?

Surely, our society has progressed to a point where accessories have become more acceptable and accessible to an entire spectrum of expressions and identities. The point is, however, to keep it stylish and cool. A handful of male A-listers and front-row style icons have already copped this trend, and it is only a matter of time until everyone else jumps ship.
Check below to see how celebrities and fashionistas rocked the handbag:
BTS' Taehyung (V)
One of the biggest headlines last year was when BTS got their first-ever Grammy nominations. All eyes were on the Kpop group as they stepped into the Incheon International Airport on their way aboard their flight to Las Vegas for the awards show. Taehyung looked dashing in a suit partnered with a brown leather handbag styled with a two-toned scarf. The bag is part of the BTS collaboration with Mute Boston.
