Have you ever wanted to own a coveted handbag such as the Balenciaga City Bag or the Miu Miu Matelasse but couldn’t justify spending that much on a single handbag? Well, the Thursday Friday Together Bags work to solve that problem for you. Although the brand intended for these totes to create a “surreal design that references luxury but ultimately works as an anti-status symbol,” I feel as if these totes only work to promote something that is beyond the reach of most people. When I look at these bags, I get the sense that they are saying, “I can’t have the real thing so I’ll settle for the next best thing.” Regardless of the message that these bags are sending out, they are overpriced for what they are: a simple cotton canvas tote. Sure, you can throw in an inner pocket and have it fully lined, but that doesn’t mean you can charge $65 for an image of a bag that you would much rather have. Save your money and get a regular cotton canvas tote at half the price.
