Bleh, I just noticed for the second stock of the Unfold bags they changed the strap, I really liked the look of it with the black strap, but now they've covered it in some grey felt or some crap.

Such a small change makes me not like it, weird.

vs.

the felt is ugly, not weird that you hate it

 

[Murdoc]

Yeah, I guess I'm just a sucker for the contrast of a tanned leather bag and a black strap; looked back and I was interested in that Chris&Tibor bag because of the same reasons.

Well the search continues... because of a f@#$ing felt strap.

The whole thing is ugly.

last few pages have been ugly. time to up the game again

 

[Murdoc]

Upping the game by reposting something that was already posted? Is that considered upping the game or going back at a possible peak?

 

[the shah]

operative word, "again." someone posted it in black 3 pages ago after i mentioned another bag looked like the delvaux but wasn't...don't worry i have a bunch more to post if you hold on tight you'll enjoy the ride

I got unlucky to make this for me - a repro of faith's 1960's mail bag. I think he took this pic right after oiling, so the bag is a bit darker than it would be otherwise. 8 oz front flap with 4 oz on the rest of the bag, horse-hide strap.

 

[Murdoc]

Don't want to quibble over language, but I think your sentence was in wrong whether I focus on the again or not.

But I guess you just wanted to get back on track after my ugly bag posting(which was also a double posted, but was just showing the old vs new)

I thought the unfold bag would make a good backpack, I think carrying around a briefcase to school would be too nobbish.

Anybody know where I can purchase a Superdry backpack? I need a new backpack and they seem to be pretty decent for the price.

Japanese brand Yukino is doing a collaboration with United Arrows on some lovely, minimal, calf MIJ bags in a number of colors. Reminds me of Delvaux, Hermes, etc. with the simplicity of styling. Pricing is reasonable, as well, around $300-400, and there are no markings/logos except on the inside. Had a chance to check them out in person and the quality-to-price ratio is excellent.

Sometimes ASOS.com has them, too.
