For quite a while now, I’ve been looking for a chic market-slash-shopping bag to use that’s classy-looking and made of real leather.
Although I’m head over heels in love with Jil Sander’s leather-trimmed choices, my practical self can’t really stomach the thought (or guilt) of spending almost $900 for something that I’ll be using to lug around whole foods, grocery finds, and whatnot.
Jil Sander Market Handbag in Metallic Blue, $879
It’s a good thing then that I came across Baggu’s latest range of leather-made shopping bags while browsing through Karmaloop. They only have it in small size, which isn’t as wide as a Jil Sander’s chic market handbag, but it will do considering a piece will only set you back a more manageable $96.
The medium size is hard to find online, but you might be able to score one if you know of a store that sells Baggu in your area.
Karmaloop doesn’t have the classic black color I want either, but I am already quite in love with the poppy red so it’s all good:
Baggu Small Leather Bag in Poppy Red, $96
Baggu Small Leather Bag in Gold, $96
Baggu Small Leather Shopping Bag in Brown, $96
This particular leather-made Baggu would also work great as a gift for your sister, mom, or girlfriend this Christmas. It’s definitely a more fashionable and unique alternative to, say, nylon or canvas bags, which you can find practically everywhere.
