It’s been a while since the last time we came across a spoof of the Anya Hindmarch “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” tote, but we think this one really beats them all.
Despite the bag’s popularity, and the good things we know came from it, we couldn’t help but burst out into laughter when we came across Fashion Indie’s “I’m Not a Douche Bag” tote on Cafe Press.
So seventh grade, and yet, so on point - we’d love to swing this around the Whole Foods salad aisle while enunciating our plans to offset the bag’s carbon footprint using only macrobiotic beets.
When I first moved to New York, I was eagerly awaiting my first non-Floridian winter in a long time. I bought my J.Crew Pea Coat on the first day the temperature dropped below 70, I squealed with delight when I woke up and it was snowing, and I rode the Carousel in Central Park in 30 degree weather.
Seriously, I was pumped.
But as the season trudged on, I started to reminisce about winters spent in t-shirts and shorts. So as we do in CenFlo, I’ve already started shopping for board shorts, picking out new Top-Siders, and searching for the perfect tote for summer.
I wanted a manbag that isn’t creepy or girly, and not as prosaic as the messenger I use everyday. This Sea Bag is made from an actual recycled sail, which totally fits in with my nautical-inflected closet - and as Natalie pointed out, a canvas bag is the perfect thing in which to carry your laptop.
Now if only the term “manbag” would go the way of “metrosexual,” I’d be all set.
