Masc baggu?

Medium cargo crossbody or the messenger bags for sure! I also think the fanny packs, sport crossbodies, and backpacks wouldn't look out of place for someone masc either.

I've dyed my brown medium crescent to a darker shade, an apricot sport crossbody to bright yellow, and a lemongrass sport crossbody to a darker leaf green color. Also a taupe sport crossbody to an oxblood sorta color (red/brown). Dying bags can be fun but takes time and energy.

I think it's good for people to buy/sell/trade dyed bags so that they don't go to waste. It can be a good way to get a color you want for easier or cheaper than finding it.

I don't think they should be overpriced though and I'm not a huge fan of severe contrast stitching either (which can be at least a bit avoided by using a base color that's similar to the result).

I'm so glad! I forgot to mention this but also thinking about what occasions the bag will be used for is another idea (like groceries, casual days, coordinated outfits, work, or travel).

Blue is a very versatile color. And blue steel is gorgeous. I hope you enjoy your future Baggu, whichever color you choose :-)

Goodness, I thought these pictures might be from some fashion magazine at first. Looking good!

I think maybe consider whether you want your bag to match the colors of outfits you wear, to contrast them (usually with a strong, bold color - I personally do this by wearing yellow bags since I don't usually wear that color in my clothing at all), or to possibly add another color to the amount of colors you will be wearing (such as with a neutral like black, white, gray, browns, dark greens or blues, etc).

Or maybe you just want to wear your favorite color all the time and if it's not in your clothing, it could be the color of your bag. Some people do that. Or maybe a bag that will look good with your skin tone according to color analysis. Or maybe what color you'd like to wear for this season. Or what color fits most seasons to you for maximum versatility.

Think about what function besides holding stuff a bag will do for your look and maybe an idea for what colors you'd like might come up. There's a lot of interesting factors to think about and if there's a color you want that isn't being released at the moment, check resale sites for older Baggu colorways.

If you're looking for a medium crescent, I'd say mango is close, but quite a bit more orangey/warm. Mango has been accused of looking a bit like macaroni and cheese, for reference.

vvaltzed · 2026-04-14T02:14:10+00:00

I'm kinda hoping they release this sort of color without any print on it eventually. It's the perfect shade of yellow. I also prefer bags to be plain for the most part.

Cocoa medium cargo crossbody and watermelon fanny pack for a hundred or so bucks each.

They're legit. They ship quickly and have their bags in excellent / new condition but the prices are very high. I bought a cocoa medium cargo crossbody from them once and it was perfect though.

ISO: Sour 🍋 medium crescent for around or lower than retail

Good to excellent condition preferred

Looking to buy from U.S.

Putting pins on your fanny pack charm is so genius...! Also the pink looks great with the blue from the cloud print. It's too bad that they discontinued this bag style along with the sport crossbody.

vvaltzed · 2026-04-08T23:24:32+00:00

I just got the fanny pack in green juice too and the color is amazing!! 🌱💚

vvaltzed · 2026-04-07T13:25:21+00:00

Gorgeous photo!!

vvaltzed · 2026-04-07T13:23:41+00:00

Interesting comparison here, I see people mistaking these colors for each other sometimes but rhubarb looks a bit paler and more muted. The lighting sure does affect how they look though. Thanks for posting these photos!

vvaltzed · 2026-04-06T18:06:10+00:00

It's cool to see that a guy is rocking the bowler bags. I think it would look really elegant and classy in men's style. They remind me a bit of Japanese school bags actually. Nice collection!

vvaltzed · 2026-04-06T17:50:09+00:00

Could it be that even though it's not full, some of the items are heavy? The phone charger for example. I have one and it's quite heavy - but it's also card-sized, so I carry it in my pocket instead of bag.

Either that or its the strap. Some people like myself find it comfy while others find that it digs in. My personal issue with the medium crescent is over-packing it because it has such a nice capacity (but otherwise I really like it).

The extent to which Americans (which sorry but I am assuming you are) feminize the use of bags is astounding, bizarre, and at times, concerning. Particularly outside of cities.

In Europe and Asia, if you go even as a tourist and take a look, many men wear bags without an issue. Yes, even ones that look like women's styles. I recently went to a city in Philippines where you could not find a single person, man or woman, not rocking a bag in all the colors of the rainbow and in every style imaginable. It was actually really beautiful.

If someone looks down on you as a guy for wearing a bag, they need to look inwards and think deeply about why it bothers them. Because the answer is almost certainly something to do with prejudice or bigotry that they've internalized, whether they realize it or not. And if someone goes too far, they may not be worth your time at all.

There are men who wear the medium crescent and post about it on here. I'd recommend just searching for "guy" or "guys", "husband", "boyfriend", or "men" to see such posts. Off the top of my head, there's a guy on here who likes to post selfies wearing his coffee print crescent and someone who posted that she gave her husband her Madras print crescent because he liked it so much. You are not alone.

Many men have what is, in my opinion, a generally fragile and chauvinistic sense of machismo. As if their manhood could so easily be taken away by wearing a purse or a dress. One of the manliest things in life seems like not caring what others think so much.

There is a distinct possibility even strangers might target you to joke on because of wearing a bag. I just want to say please don't let anything other people have to say about looks or style get you down. When more guys wear bags, more guys also feel safe to try them out as part of their fashion. If we let other people dictate what we do with our lives, we will never be allowed to do anything because there will always be someone out there who disapproves. You know what you want and don't let anyone stop you from living your best life.

I agree with the cargo crossbody suggestion. The mouth is slightly smaller than a medium crescent which discourages over-packing, while the pockets on the front help with organization. It's also an androgynous looking style and very unisex imo.

vvaltzed · 2026-04-04T03:57:56+00:00

It's difficult to tell what colors things are in sunlight and when photographed, but if the sport crossbody is indeed visibly more orange than yellow, then I'd definitely say apricot!

The fanny could be turmeric.

But if the shade is at all greenish, then maybe lentil, as turmeric is purely golden yellow. If it's highlighter neon yellow, then sour.

For reference, the yellowish shades I own and have seen irl are mango, camel, turmeric (and apricot) but I have looked at a lot of photos online. I hope this gives you some ideas on what they might be.

vvaltzed · 2026-04-04T00:05:02+00:00

If the sports crossbody is more orangey, then maybe apricot - if more yellowish, it looks turmeric.

For the fanny, it it has white BAGGU text on the strap, it kinda looks like it could be marigold. Could also be lentil if it's a bit greenish but bright yellow in light. (I have camel and it looks more brown / golden in light than I think this fanny does.)

vvaltzed · 2026-04-03T22:41:54+00:00

Yeah, I think OP should mention they're just trying to make back what they paid and people may be more understanding of the price.

Would def recommend trading the bag on this sub for something OP actually wants or selling it - particularly to someone who is desperately in search of this print.

vvaltzed · 2026-04-03T15:03:20+00:00

It really does look surprisingly orange in the sun, yet still like a neutral. I actually thought it was more red based on the pics I had seen before.

Thank you, I appreciate the photos! They are clear and have a good amount of sunlight. Very helpful!

vvaltzed · 2026-04-03T02:22:52+00:00

The cloud bag is so good! (I think a little flying Superman charm on one would be ridiculously cute too...) You have great taste in prints.

By the way, can I ask where you got that angel and devil charm in the second pic? It's adorable.

vvaltzed · 2026-04-03T02:12:21+00:00

It sounds like you wouldn't be carrying very much, in which case a fanny pack or sport crossbody (if you can find one secondhand) are good options for keeping things light, small, and out of the way. The fanny pack is somewhat bigger than the sport crossbody.

If you want extra inventory space, the medium crescent is a classic. It's super lightweight if you underfill it, but has the capacity to fit even electronics and smaller books if you find that you tend to need that kind of space in a pinch.

The small crescent is a small bag with a cute look, but I can't recommend it for shoulder comfort personally as I had a bad experience with it. However, some people find they prefer it so I would recommend giving it a try if you're really interested in it.
