Borja Iglesias and Aitor Ruibal have become a trend in recent days. Soccer players have starred in one of the most viral images in recent months, simply for wearing a fashion accessory on occasion.

A few days ago the two went to the link of some mutual friends and to have a nice memory of that day, the athletes and their friends took several photos, which they shared on their social networks shortly after.

In one of them we could see the outfits they chose for the occasion. The Galician striker wore a navy blue suit with a white shirt. As an outfit he carried one of Dior’s famous bags, the Dior Petites Fleurs saddle in white. An exclusive design of about 3,500 euros, which pays homage to Monsieur Dior’s passion for flowers.

His partner, Aitor Ruibal, opted for a white suit with a dark blue shirt and as a complement he wore a capsule bag from the French firm Chanel. The publication of these photos caused a barrage of negative comments against the footballers, who did not hesitate to respond to all those who had criticized them.

”I want to underline the need, once and for all, to normalize and live together, rejecting and moving away from any type of phobia, to make it possible to live normally in our society,” published Aitor Ruibal. His partner, Borja Iglesias, did the same on his social networks. ”Every time these types of situations occur in reference to the phobias that still exist, they give me the strength to continue fighting so that everyone can do and enjoy themselves and others as they really want,” he confessed.

Men’s bags are not a recent fashion. It’s been a trend for a while now. So footballers have not been the first to wear these accessories at different events. In addition, Borja Iglesias has boasted on more than one occasion of his bags on his social networks.

Many of the most famous footballers have been the faces of major fashion brands for much of their careers. And not only the fashion ones, even the fragrance and beauty firms have also been linked to the world of football. In addition, now there are many designers that include this accessory in their men’s collections, showing that bags have no gender.
