The bags of today are boring. From messengers to backpacks, clutches to duffels, rolling luggage to Ziploc, bag designers have become lazy dogs on corporate leashes and it's time for consumers to stop feeding them. Enter: new bag from Parcel. I spotted this little number while shopping at Nordstrom the other day and my jaw just dropped. The genious in the design is obvious, quite frankly. I don't need to describe why this bag spits in the face of all modern and classical comparison: the deep green, the splash of orange, the unique "backpack" style. But take a look at the bobbles adorning this already perfect bag, like a god and his talisman (in this case, talismen or taliswomen). These four "icons of cool" say, "you don't need a personality, you need only this bag."
For anyone confused, let me break it down. The Green Indian: an honorable man - ready to fight for what he believes in. The Sea Shell: from the ocean - a calm, yet unpredictable place; a surfer's paradise, yet home to many a watery pirate grave. The Arrowhead: Sharp and pointy, able to cut deep and pierce the soul. The Bullet: screams, "don't fuck with me or you'll get shot!" In short, this bag is the new you. It's the "you" before you even knew what "you" was. Get it. Wear it. Live it. Visit your local Nordstrom today. It's your duty as an American.

I love the bag! I want one! I need one! Must...have...such...a...cool...bag! *crawls on floor towards bag*
Wow. You must be some insane salesperson...
No, no. I hate this bag. I should learn to type sarcasm. Now, knowing I hate it, read it again. Just try it, for my sake.
This bag-blog is hilarious - especially upon reading that you actually hate the bag. The sarcasm is great, although at first glance I thought you had a deep infatuation with the item... it was worrisome.
