Sometimes an old bag becomes new again. In the case of this little patent 70s number, it was not my old bag to start with, so really, it is a new old bag. Quite petite, it is remarkable how much it actually fits inside too. There is one main compartment that has a zipped pocket, with another slim pocket behind it, and then there are two compartments on either side of the kiss lock, where I can keep easy-access items, such as my public transport pass, keys, phone, iPod.
It’s like a Harry Potter bag – small on the outside, but so gargantuan on the inside I can practically fit the kitchen sink inside. Sometimes, in fact, it feels as heavy as though I am lugging the kitchen sink around. It’s like a mini-me version of my old favourite, and for a faux leather bag it’s held up impressively with daily use. Hopefully I will be carrying it until it’s an old new old bag. Or, more accurately, I’ll be an old bag carrying a really old bag.
