Original Fake x G1950 Porter Messenger Bag

I wasn’t a big fan of the Original Fake Chomper hoodies because I thought they looked rather awkward but this collaboration between Original Fake (made by American artist KAWS) and Gallery 1950 is just about the coolest messenger bag I’ve ever seen. I’ve got to see if I can get my hands on one of these.

The bad news is…they’re probably only available in Japan (although there are Original Fake dealers and stores elsewhere) and they’re around $250. The good news is…I’m headed for Japan this summer.

I’m so far behind when it comes to fashion… I guess that’s a good thing, or else id have even less money… but hey, I’d sure look fresh!

It looks like I came to Japan at just the right time! I’ll definitely check this bag out. I won’t be getting it unless it’s PERFECT for me though, at that price.

Take some pictures and show me. If it looks good and has the right pockets and space inside, I’ll get one.

I picked one up from Colette in Paris in December as a gift for my husband but he didn’t like it!! I will be listing it on ebay shortly if anyone is interested?

$250. Ouch. I bet if you went to china, land of the the original fakes of anything you can imagine, you can find a copy version of this for $5 (:
