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.

Just made my first official purchase through Gilt and snagged these Gourmets for almost 65% off… Super excited to get them in the mail in a couple of weeks.

Narrative | Cap Toe Leather Boot | ~$300
Part boot, part sneaker, these shoes from Narrative are, well… Part fresh. I’m not sure what it is, but I’m just not feeling them. I feel like I’ve seen a very similar design elsewhere… Anyone???
Martin Margiela | Leather Blouson | $1995
You know, when I saw the price of this jacket I was actually surprised by how inexpensive it was. That’s right, inexpensive! See, this is what I was thinking…
Martin Margiela + Leather = $BILLIONS
Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when the price didn’t even reach six figures!
