According to both MarketWatch and research firm The NPD Group, all of this has resulted in a significant jump in sales of men's bags. In 2014 alone, men's bags sales rose 35%.
"Last year's double-digit unit and dollar sales increases clearly make the men's segment the one to watch in 2015," the NPD report reveals. "Men are purchasing more bags than ever before, and wearing bags of all types."
