spring wishes

i've been wanting a new leather bag for spring / summer, but i've been really hoping to find something super clean and minimally designed...

i've checked all of the usual suspects, and haven't found a style that i'm really excited by.

and then, somehow i stumbled on to what i think is just the right thing, in quite a surprising place:

 

baggu!

yes, the company that started out making durable bags for carrying groceries is now using leather to make really simple, basic..... perfect summer bags!

i really want a white or off-white leather bag, but i'm not sure this is the right style for it. i'm afraid it will just get totally trashed.

i'm thinking about the apricot color..... although that mint color is kind of tempting, huh?

what color would you get?

somewhere in a galaxy..... not that far away!

hmmm.....

clare vivier and wren just released their bag collaboration for spring.

one of the styles incorporates a galaxy print:

while this style does look really kinda cool....

it looks suspiciously like another awesome bag:

a collaboration between peter pilotto & kipling from 2010.

gotta say..... i still think the pp x kipling one looks better.

what do you think? coincidence?

or is the galaxy just that awesome?

i loved meeting this girl, who works for refinery 29. her tiny bag and cute sneakers are great!

i've forgotten her name.... does anyone know who she is?
