A Bag Within a Bag

You know a bag is nice when it comes in a bag. I am not talking about a plastic cheap bag that might someday have a hand in destroying the Earth, not even a nice handled bag (like the Nordstrom classic grey bag). I am talking, you bag inside a super nice cloth bag, inside that shopping bag. And I got my first one.

I was with my mom at Burberry, looking at scarves. I wandered off and started looking through the men’s section. And I saw this bag. It is a messenger bag. Brown with a black check detailing. It was like my heart skipped a beat.

But I walked away.

We walked away, down the hall of Northpark Mall. My mom was looking for Regis Salon. It turns out it is right by Burberry, so we had to go back. I took it as a sign.

The bag was on sale, reduced by some $200. Sign number two. It was a done deal, I bought the bag.

Watching it being wrapped was like watching the scene in Love Actually where Alan Rickman is trying to buy the necklace for his secretary. It was packaged so beautifully. And, as I noted, it came in a super nice bag.
