Collection by Creative Recreation | Turino | $295
Vans | SK8 Hi Patent Leather Pack | ~$80 Each
Not exactly sure on the price of these bad boys… Looks like they are listed on a Thai site for “$2,580” which I took to mean 2,580 Thai baht, which comes to just around 78 United States dollars. I could be completely off-base, though, and even if that is the accurate Thai price, they could very well go for $175 if/when the drop in los Estados Unidos… Basically what I’m saying is that I have no idea how much these cost, but I would give them a second look if they were anything less than $200.
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.
