Today is dedicated to handmurses everywhere. Smaller than the average murse, these handy* bags are only for the most efficient of men. They offer more security from pickpocketers because they are kept extremely close to the body, and are incredibly handy* for instinctively, defensively clocking someone over the head.
Handmurses. Sleek. Sophisticated. Street-wise.
*intentional terrible pun
YOU GUYS. You know how I always joke about mullethawks?
THEY ARE REAL. HERE IS THE PROOF.
I wish this were a better photo, but alas, I was incredibly intimidated by this fellow and ended up taking a massive, broad tourist picture and hoping that he would be prominently displayed in the foreground so that I could crop it later.
Anyway, this blog will probably not have a hairstyle any better than this one, so maybe I’ll just quit now.
First of all, it should be noted and commended that this young man is actually being chivalrous and carrying his mother’s purse.
But he was looking straight at my camera and I couldn’t help but include him.
Next time, do not walk by so quickly! This means YOU,
woman waiting for the Metro at Novoslobodskaya;
man coming out of a lavka near Leninskiy Prospekt;
man perhaps wearing a band t-shirt and clearly in a rush transferring lines in Oktyabrskaya;
little boy in the underground crossing with the most immaculately groomed mullet faux-hawk I have ever seen.
I will be ready next time.
I hope.
Double-mursing it.
Technically one is a laptop bag, but that does not diminsh my admiration.
Just barely managed to snap this photo as the subject whizzed by. He had some business to attend to, but don’t fret—there was probably a party shortly after.
Starting the blog off slowly with a sleek Adidas bag—it can hardly even be considered a murse.
Also pictured: brown leather crossbody, unmurselike backpack
