I was going to bury my mother’s ashes in her beat up circa 1970s LV Speedy until I found out her Catholic faith didn’t allow it ( she passed away last year). And so now I have sold my newer LV bag and carry her beat up one proudly - it is like she is still with me❤️
read with love on my work laptop which i will soon shove into a ginormous, bright blue see by chloe bag that i got for £35 on vinted. no it's not an it bag, it's my big sack of stuff and i love it so much! why is it sky blue?who can say! it has 3 pockets and a drawstring top and i carry it with me EVERYWHERE and will do until i die!!!
it feels like bag trends - as in, the carry-it-around-daily kind - shift at a glacial pace compared to the rest of womenswear because it's far more trouble to keep moving your daily essentials from one bag to the next (all those pockets to empty!!) than it is to get yourself out of an outfit and into the next one.
I seriously considered an old City bag c. 2022 but was brought back to my senses by the knowledge that it'd likely end up a neverworn now. Instead ended up with two colours of the Lanvin Happy Sac, a different discontinued bag from the 00s that's like the polar opposite of the City in vibe and they're now my 'home' and 'away' (as in, work/out of town respectively) bags, like football kit.
And I've always loved the look of beaten-to-death LV bags, something about that brown colour scheme just suits being scuffed and a bit grubby (admittedly this may be because my fashion coming-of-age part 2 was during the era now known as indie sleaze, and a part of me will always be drawn to glamour of the scruffy, these-are-just-things kind exemplified by MKO and her battered bags or Kate Moss in a 1930s silk dress that she had to impromptu turn into a mini because Courtney Love accidentally stepped on the train and tore it).
I love this. My own version is a beat up ATP Atelier bag that used to be pink and brown, but is now like a gross liver paté colour with grey straps. But I love it. It keeps all my stuff. It hangs perfectly on my shoulder. And so far it still stands up on its own.

This was one of the funniest things I’ve read in awhile.
The more faded and worn the better, leave the crisp bags for Canal St
