GEAR: John Varvatos Large Stretch Duffle
John Varvatos' Large Stretch Duffle. I think I need an intervention. Image from http://www.johnvarvatos.com/Large_Stretch_Duffle_/pd/cl/972/np/35/p/1777.html.
I’ve got a sickness.
I am almost ashamed to admit I have a penchant (see: addiction) to high-end leather overnight bags. I am on the web all the time just looking at them.
When I was in Vegas for Thanksgiving, this was all my mind was focused on.
I went in store-by-store and headed straight for the men’s luggage section trying to find the penultimate overnight bag. Nothing too flashy, something that would last for a really long time, something made with care and the utmost quality.
Coach. Louis Vuitton. Zara. I checked ‘em all.
The one that really caught my eye was the John Varvatos Large Stretch Duffle.
It was simple. The size was perfect. The leather looked sturdy enough to last over a decade. The color was amazing and I knew it would get an amazing patina over time.
But of course I didn’t buy it.
So here we are in January. I am still obsessing. But now I am sharing my obsession with you.
Do you think it’s time for an intervention?
