So this is the bag I bought in Japan, I don’t think I’ve ever bought anything that I love as much! It’s made of super soft leather with a very light antique-y gold/coppery shimmer, with cutout leather shapes riveted to the bag. On the handle was swinging a little white leather bird, which can be slipped inside the cage. Inside it’s lined in beige satin with little stars all over. The shop I found it in was the tiniest, sweetest place. The shopowner could only accept Japanese credit cards (and did not speak any english, so it took  awhile to figure out how much it cost!) so Stuart and I walked ages to find an atm that would work with our cards, and by the time we walked back she had somehow managed to translate into english a little handwritten card that said something like ‘ Thank you so much for purchasing my friend’s bag, this is the first she has sold here and we are so happy to meet you.’ I am so dying to go back to Japan.
