A murse or a purse? Please vote!

[LatigoAmigo]

I just finished this mini handbag and am wondering if it might market better to men or to women. So tell me what you think… is this bag a murse or is it a purse? Any comments will be appreciated.

A woman's bag 

too 'out there' for any blokes I know, and I know some real weirdos

Market it for Bad Asses!!! Problem solved!

Wow, that design and build has a lot of things to catch the eye. Nice job!

I think it would be great as a guy's laptop bag/daily work carrier.

Just put it out there and see who bites - no need to be too specific.

Wow, what a lot of detailing and hard work went into that - that's awesome, very unusual!

I guess the key question is: how big is it? Big enough to hold a largish laptop? Some of the ones I've seen are real bricks!

You could try marketing it either as handbag or a laptop carrier, whichever you think it's best suited for. But I think with all the fancy detailing on it, probably only a woman is going to want it. I've tried making belts for the men in my family, and none of them want anything but the most basic design - just absolutely plain leather, thank you, black or brown...well, maybe a line along the edge, thanks, but no fancy schmantzy carving!

let me start by saying the design and craftsmanship are awesome for one !

in my opinion this bag design is very masculine like modern renaissance looking.. finding the right customer seems like it would be a challenge as its definitely to pursey for a man lol

i could for sure see Xena warrior princess rocking this..or maybe a fancy electrician.

It's a mini, roughly 12 x 5 x 8 in. Here it is next to its predecessor.
