If one thing is certain in the fashion world, it's that statement pieces don't always make sense but have a story.
Like any great item, the appeal comes from the individuality, the shock, and the surprise.
This time it was a fashion piece inspired by the humble brown paper sandwich bag.

It's a statement piece, we can agree on that, and we love the tan colour with the blue fastening.
