Ugly travel purse


I caved. After 45 minutes of agonizing at Wide World Books, I bought the ugly, black ripstop nylon travel purse, made by Eagle Creek. Why? My current travel bag, which is supposed to telegraph that I am a stylish urban woman, at ease in the world, is a roomy, black leather bucket, made by Hobo. It's not elegant, I can never find anything in it, and it's bulky and heavy enough to easily knock items off displays in a crowded market. It seemed like a good compromise between fashion and practicality, but it hasn't proved to be enough of either. So I bought the supremely practical black travel bag. I will have really easy access to my camera. I will buy a fabulous purse in Florence.
