Totally Turnlock Faridah Shoulder Bag — $438 in Black… and Beige. Saw this today at Shopbop.com and haven’t totally made up my mind yet. It looks so soft and supple. That’s important to me since I get cranky when my bag is uncomfortable. This leather looks nice to the touch. Wish i could reach out and touch it. How great would it be if websites could allow customers to “feel” the goods somehow. I’d die a very happy online shopping death if that were to happen! Things I like about this bag Perfect strap length to carry over the shoulder. I am all about the hands free hand bags! The two pockets in front (perfect for slipping your cell phone/keys into for quick access) at 12×13 this would be the right size for work and weekend toting. I’ve gotten lazy these days. I used to change my bag every day but these days it’s once 3-4 days if I’m good! The description says it’s magnetic closure for the main compartment which is convenient. You don’t have to fuss with zippers. at $438 that’s not bad for a handbag investment.
Twenty years in the making.
A space for the messy, beautiful middle.
