I love kokopuff's tres fluo bag too! I scoured the internet for it in hopes I could find it when I saw hers but I didn't have any luck.

I think you should go with the black bodega bag!

Each item is $100 each which I know is steep for canvas but for leather it isn't bad, plus I think they are cool and unusual.

The line is called Slow and Steady Wins the Race. There is a temporary store set up in NYC right now where you can order anything from past collections. I think they might be willing to take orders by email or over the phone in the next few days. Also they are trying to get a web shop up with in the next few months.

Here's the website: http://www.slowandsteadywinstherace.com/

needsfashionadvice: i think opening ceremony in new york might still stock that bag, but it's like $300 :(

thanks for the info, cc. i need a basic black bag and want to look into that one you posted!

also, could you tell me if the leather is soft on these bags?

erin - The suede was super soft, the white leather was also very soft and I think the black and brown bodega bags were fairly soft. They are slouchy IRL so the leather is a bit thick, but not stiff. Also, just FYI, there is a seam sewn along the bottom of the bodega bags so it isn't really constructed exactly like the real thing (the 'paper' bags are).

those are neat! I like any of the last three.

I like "color" on the site, the mix and match clothes, it's such a cool concept!

squishy · Coach

i am hopelessly in lust with this. if only the brown weren't in suede!

Lilykind · Hermes

i like the canvas balenciaga or the black bodega bag the best. those are really cool!

Canvas Balenciaga gets my vote. What a fun collection! I like the last three but they're a bit too much novelty for regular use IMO.
