A little over a month ago, I made a wish out loud, in the form of a blog post: I wanted a dark green bag for fall. You’d think that wouldn’t be much of a problem, what with the whole internet and its desire to sell me things, but when I got down to looking, the options were kind of scant. Green leather in any shade isn’t something we see a whole lot unless it’s a trend, and the means of trend production had not yet caught up with my stray whims. Luckily, they have now.
As I was surveying new arrivals after the holiday, something jumped out at me: There are suddenly many dark green bags available that weren’t a couple weeks ago, and many of them are from indie contemporary labels. Those small brands might be a little better tapped in to the emerging desires of younger shoppers than their more established (which sometimes means “slower”) counterparts. One thing was totally clear from the super enthusiastic response to my original post, though, and it’s that my desire for a dark green bag isn’t isolated. Check out nearly a dozen brand new options we spotted below.
