Top Ten Bags. Ok, Five. (Because, #Summer.).. tis. in. the. arm-hang.
Let me make it clear that i am normally not a real shopperista. Well, i am. But that’s not the point. We are making a compendium for how to live without needing to buy everything in sight - a tendency of even the best
It is the X-gene. We are women unhinged. When it comes to pavilions of footwear, accessories, & essential arm-candy: we are seriously defenceless, obsessively design-directed, and eternally vulnerable.
So may i suggest this compile for this Summer for the essential wait-for-it, arm-hang- to just keep to, and love forever? (That’s the real secret by the way). (You get a classic piece, and live with it forever.)
1/ Demetria - Featuring Demetria x Idee
Because, If you have to buy just the one bag, make it something superlocally original. The designer is a friend, and she makes this especially as a work of heart - and has an atelier in Italy especially. So, obviously, being in the know, and top-of-mind distribution list doesn’t hurt.)
Her instagram account features the atelier and the making of the bags. You can click on the link, in case the VIDEO doesn’t play here. If not, here’s a link to her recently launched summer bag. (Which i use in my other blog, featuring treps more and their designs).
*Not sure if her instagram features this bag, but it has a few pictures in it.
2/ Anya Hindmarch - Featuring The Chubby Cube Bag, make it from the designer that has cheek, and chastity when it comes to preservation of identity, classic lines, and sunny playfulness.
3/ Simon Miller - Featuring The Lunchbox 20. Because, why wouldn’t you want something that spells Original & Lunch?
4/ Danse Lente - Featuring **The Zoe Bag. Because, white is the colour of summer and has the shape that would stand literally in the ages that you are marked for an upgrade.
5/ Mimi & Lula - Featuring **The Furry Cloud Bag. Because, when did we ever need more than space for our mobile phone, camera, & fare card on a night out in summer?
Hope you can afford these, or at least to get classics in style to the beat of your own heartstrings.
And sticking to one, is your best ethical course to registering the desire to conserve ecology and energy - in the properly culled design and materials. Instead of gearing for a whole gamut, just think of The One. And stick to it.
Happy Summering this Year!
