Oooh that bag... |
2010-02-11 |
One of the things that has grown on me over time is Japanese women and their handbags. I spotted this woman exiting the crowded Takeshita-dori in Harajuku last summer, and while not normally my style, I couldn't resist a surreptitious shot as she passed. She's carrying a Gucci "Jolicoeur" tote bag and obviously had somewhere to be in a hurry because she wasn't wasting any time being cutesy by hanging it off the crook of her elbow as J-girls normally do - she had the full on in-hand grip (note the pink sun parasol as well) with the bag held firmly in front so as to most efficiently navigate the teeming sea of humanity before her. I quite like this particular tote bag (especially in beige - the black variation is just so-so) and wish more girls would carry it as opposed to the brown leather Louis Vuitton monstrosities that were so much in vogue a few years back (it's gotten better recently).
