Behold. This is a leather bag. Not a paper bag - although that crumpled creme brulee leather sure pulls the wool over the eye, doesn't it? - but a leather bag. It is the Proenza Schouler boys classic witty take on accessories. For their first line they didn't want to make an it bag - lo and behold: the PS1 is born. Now they want to make an unfussy shopping tote so they base it on a paper bag. There are so many things that are right about this: that classic proenza double strap running along the mid-thirds of the bag. The slouchy, who-gives-a-damn shape. That loved, lived in kind of feel. And let's not forget the humour of the whole thing. You're going to need it because at upwards of $615US (although, we are dollar for dollar right now, so i guess it's the time to buy), you better hope this bag is funny. At $615 it better sing and dance too.
I wouldn't put it past those proenza boys.
