Carga Bags
Is it possible to fall in love with a bag?
If that bag is sleek, strong, eco-sensitive and highly tactile then most definitely yes.
It would thus appear that I am going to embark on a serious relationship with a Carga bag.
Carga - a new line of bags created by designer Mauro Bianucci - marries construction principles with urban aesthetics to create an unexpectedly hip city must-have.
Handcrafted using industrial wool felt, distressed leather and hardware parts, the bags are batch-produced and hand-assembled in a socially-responsible workshop in Beunos Aires. The bags consist of three different sizes – Notebook Tote, Messenger and Weekend, and are perfect for carrying around anything from small laptops to bigger briefcases or simply to get away for a few days in style.
The 03/Weekend bag even comes with its own detatchable iPod case.
Too cute! I’m hooked!
Retailing between $175 and $345, the Carga bag has only been made available in a handful of specially selected stores in key cities around the world.
