Delvaux for Monocle | Newspaper Bag | ~$2400

This is certainly a function of my youth, but I can’t help but feel that newspaper bags are more appealing for their folksiness than their functionality. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it really feels like the days of the newspaper are over, like it might be the next big thing for hipsters to read newspapers, because it’s so much more authentic than reading the news online. I’m rambling—that last sentence is an abomination—but the main point is that it seems silly to buy a $2400 bag whose defining characteristic revolves around a dying medium. Of course, being silly and expensive has never stopped me from featuring something on here before.
