Along with all the clothing labels at capsule, there were also footwear and accessories brands showing. Two of the standouts in the bag arena were Temple Bags and J. Fold.

Taking their cue from Soviet era standard issue military and civil service bags, J. Fold presented simple, utilitarian bags. This tote would be great as an everyday bag. Big enough for a laptop, reading material, and paperwork without being cumbersome. Heavy duty zippers, hardware, and material ensure a durable bag you don’t have to worry about taking care of.

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of external pockets like these. My favorite of J.Fold’s offerings. Great for the office or for traipsing through the city.

Temple Bags is a new bag company using re-purposed World War II materials. I really liked the shape and style of the bags.

This bag was easily one of my favorites of market week. This is the bag you carry everywhere. The one you don’t have to worry about when you kick it out of the way as she sits down at the table. Plus it makes lugging your laptop and those magazines you can’t read look like transporting documents behind enemy lines.

Awesomeness. Another all-purpose bag that will last you forever. Whether you’re carrying a blue book, extra clips, or ancient artifacts, the better the bag the better the adventure.

for you, the world.
I figured, I got to go to New York, I might as well bring a little something back for you guys. Keeping with the magazine theme for the moment I thought Inventory would be perfect.
Inventory did a great job on this issue. Great features, nice styling, quality paper and print. Can’t ask much more from a magazine, can you?
You’re probably thinking “What’s the catch here?” You’re right. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
All you have to do is send me a check for three hundred and seventy six dollars. Oh, and a self addressed stamped envelope.
Actually, how about you leave a comment on this post? January marked one year for GettingBeatLikeYouStoleSomething. How about you let me know what your favorite post(s) have been over these past 12 months.
