As a kid I lived for the winters on Long Island. I anxiously awaited the first snowfall and all that came with it. My mother was a teacher, so when schools were closed it meant everyone was home which inevitably meant family time: like it or not. I look back longingly at the quality time we spent together. I can smell the hot cocoa and though I wouldn’t dare eat Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup these days (I’ve been vegetarian for over 7 years) I can almost taste the salty broth if I think hard enough. As I got older winter started to become less of a novelty and more of an annoyance. I’m an all-season outdoor runner and I dread the icy cold weather and inevitable nor’easters that come with living in NYC. However in the dead of winter it always helps to remember that warmer weather is just around the corner. As the days wear on we’re getting closer and closer to spring my friends and with it comes a whole new set of bags for us to fawn over.
Spring 2019 pre-orders have arrived for our viewing—and shopping!—pleasure. We’ve selected a dozen of our favorites below! Which bags are you eyeing this Spring?
