Funny… this explains why I see tourists stock up on random stuff there sometimes. I have two insulated Monoprix bags I use here and am very fond of. Not high end to say the least. I shop there in Paris because it’s convenient and cheaper than eating out. Maybe I’m part of this phenomenon (in reverse?) without being aware. But I have never seen a French grocery bag…on the East Coast at least.

Because of the weird and often large proportions of his clothes Rick Owens has made bigger and bigger tote bags to the point that the biggest ones can hold a small adult. 😆 They were a fashion accessory at some point and they are nice canvas... but they are portrait! And they slip off your shoulder like crazy.

That LL Bean tote is looking good. I think it will still be around in 2040.
