i won’t hesitate to say that my Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag is one of my most prized possessions. but, i have only used it twice… okay maybe three times. i am SO scared of ruining it that it’s actually a joke! right now it is sitting inside its dust bag on my dressing table in my bedroom. every now and then i take it out, stare at it and caress it like i’m crazed.
then there are some of my other most cherished bags, notably these woven bags from Kenya that i use every single day. the large one that has become my de facto laptop bag (even though i have a more technical & suitable laptop bag, i really hate the look of them). these poor bags get beaten to a pulp, going with me everywhere, sitting on dirty bus floors and having coffee spilt on and inside them. but they are still going strong, and if they were ever to break i would get another one in a heartbeat.
so, you know, i don’t really need a new bag. but who ever needs a bag? well maybe you do – so here are some.
PS Mansur Gavriel have a bucket bag in Moss Moss!
