My main requirement for a bag is that it not weigh 5-10 pounds on its own. Why do brands do this?! By the time you’ve filled it with all your crap and walked around with it for a short while, you’ll have ruined your neck/shoulder/back. I can no longer suffer for fashion. 😑
I’ve been trying to resist the City Bag in part because I don’t want to give in to early 2000s nostalgia (I lived through that era as a late 20s grad student, haven’t I suffered enough??) so maybe I’ll shut it out completely by transferring my desire to the Rider.
(Someone please tell me to also ignore the resurgence of Pima Mostros and Speedcats, both of which I wore obsessively in the 90s/00s - I do not need more sneakers!)
I have one City Bag iteration I will send you to you that I have been thirsting for...but will probably never go for. The Rider is the adult version of my wants and thirsts...he really delivers a mean, classic bag!
Show me pls, love a vicarious bag moment. And yeah, this Rider might go on my wish list. The ‘90s/‘00s nostalgia is a funny one - sometimes I want to embrace it and sometimes I’m like, even if I did it the first time around, now I’ll look like I’m hopping on a trend
I only used a big city bag in college. I agree it is useful at times but carrying many pounds of stuff on your shoulders and back. I like a cross body bag if I am out on the town.

You and I will do a chiropractor BOGO visit...
YES. Can we also do a podiatrist BOGO for all the high heel-wear??

"steady rotation of easy trousers and vintage leather jackets" - I read "steady" as "sleazy" and that works as well.
You know...her look does touch on both!
I see Isabel Marant as a cleaned up sleazy rocker look 😆
Does it have a lifetime warranty like the Patagonia duffel bags?
Max!
