We almost did a double-take when we saw this woman at West 4th Street. Her purple shoes were great, but it was her bag that made us look twice.
It’s a bag, but it looks like a folded shirt!
We love how it looks a little like a modern art exhibit, but it’s still wearable.
For some reason, it seems easier to pull off a cutting edge accessory, but if you try to wear a conceptual dress, you may look like an extra in a student art film. We’re dying to see if anyone ventures out in a metallic Dolce corset or anything from Hussein Chalayan’s spring collection. And how many girls can actually wear the plastic Gareth Pugh coats?
As for this bag, it’s from English (by way of Sweden) designer Ann-Sofie Back. We want one!

That’s an awesome bag! It’s probably easier to wear an avant-garde accessory than an entire outfit.
would providing a DIY tutorial, similar to crystal mesh headband, be too sleazy – given that Back is a little indie designer? that bag could be stitched up pretty easily and resold at Urban Outfitters as a back to school item
(Back’s swollen red belt and shoes are fantastica)
I have to be honest – I think this bag is really cool but I’m not prepared to dedicate another post to it! We’ll have some new DIYs next week though, promise.
i’ve seen that girl and her sweatshirt purse in soho before….
This looks like it would be hard to make, anyway, what with the clasp and the nice shape. If you want to do something a little bit similar, I once made a bag using a shirtsleeve as the strap.
