There’s nothing like the fashion industry likes more than a luxe version of something basic – see, the Jil Sander market bag or Chanel’s take away Chinese box.
Unfortunately this overpriced treats inevitably end up being extremely covetable, with chumps like me getting excited about the prospect of spending a month’s rent on a pastiche of a plastic bag. The latest novelty bags to be mentally added to my shopping list are the black embossed leather shoppers from Cast of Vices, available to pre-order at Final Episode.
Inspired, obviously, by the carrier bags that you get in American grocery stores, the designs include the classic Thank You and Have a Nice Day options above, as well as the regional favourite, I <3 NY option.
