Object | Common Projects - Waxed Canvas Bag

School has started once again, and I found myself without a good bag to carry my stuff (mostly Dostojevskij-books - just kiddding) around in on a day-to-day basis. So I've been on the look-out for a nice bag lately, preferably a leather messenger one that will age nicely.

I didn't find a messenger bag. I did, however, find this bag from Common Projects. While mostly known for their minimalistic sneakers, Common Projects have recently been expanding their label with sunglasses, wallets and bags that follows the same aesthetic as the sneakers.This bag is just another example of their devotion to quality.

Made in a durable waxed canvas with leather handles and an adjustable shoulder-strap for when your arms grow tired. The inside features two pockets and a detachable leather sleeve.

When I saw it I forgot all about messenger bags. I needed to get it, so I did. And it has served me well ever since. It's the perfect size, copes well with rain etc. Trust me, the pictures doesn't do this one justice. You need to see it in person, feel it and try it out. And when you do, you will be just as hooked as I am.
