Every now and again, when I’m endlessly scrolling through products from retailer after retailer and visiting every boutique, flagship, and flea market in New York City, I come across an item that truly shocks me. It’s not because of any one attribute, but rather, all of the attributes that combine to create a truly epic find. It’s rare, so when you do find something that fits the bill, you act on it—fast.
Such a discovery is exactly what I stumbled upon during a recent trip to Abercrombie’s new flagship store on Fifth Avenue. But it wasn’t a pair of trousers, dress, or top that impressed me most. It was a bag—a big, black, braided bag that looked more like a designer purse than an $80 accessory from a store most known for its apparel. And yet, I was blown away by the quality, style, and overall viral potential. Below, see why I’m hyping up this Abercrombie bag so much and shop it before it sells out.
