  Men use backpacks or briefcases for that.

  I don’t think I routinely want to take more than keys, wallet and phone with me. And I’m happy phones are taking over wallet duty!

  Men's handbags exist. I have one which I am happy with. It is roughly 22×16×10㎝ on the outside and made out of black, tightly woven polyamide fibres (like backpacks) and is water repellent. It has a single broad strap, quite similar to car's safety belt in appearance. It is worn over one shoulder with the bag on the opposite hip. When I ride a bicycle, I adjust the strap to make it shorter and wear the bag on the back or under the armpit. The bag contains mobile phone, face mask, key-bundle, wallet, hard plastic glasses etui, earphones, pack of disposable cellulose tissues, small notepad (shopping list) and a biro, sometimes detachable bicycle lights.

  > Meanwhile I suspect a lot of men wish they could carry handbags. Men can and frequently do carry handbags or the fubctional equivalent (and not just the “murses” that get mocked for violating classic gender norms: a soft-sided briefcase/laptop bag with a shoulder strap, or a messenger bag, or...) In fact, I'd argue that this, as with pockets, is a case where the masculine-coded offerings are often far more practical than the feminine-coded ones.
