Excess Baggage
| February 2nd, 2009
I saw this bag by APC on Hypebeast a few days ago (permalink), and I want it. I’ve seen so many guys carrying bags, that it doesn’t look weird to me anymore. I’m happy to welcome this trend, for two reasons. 1: I like to carry a lot of stuff with me — phone, wallet, keys, glasses, sunglasses, sketchbook, pens, postcards/business cards — and since I wear fitted jeans, I can’t fit all that shit in my pockets! 2: Umm, I just like bags. I spent so many years wearing a white t-shirt, jeans, and plain black shoes, and now I’m fighting off the urge to over-accessorize and look like a crazy person after being repressed for so long. I love when people can pull off loud designs with bright colors and crazy proportions, but I’m just not one of those people. I can carry a bag like this and still feel like I made an effort to look decent, and people don’t stare me down in their stores like I’m gonna steal something.
P.S. You can pick this weekend bag up at the Honeyee shop for around US$222.
