Mediterranean Dreams

This morning I had to go to Albert Park for a photoshoot location reconnaissance, and as I walked through the streets I managed – brilliant multi-tasker as I am – to fit in some window shopping.

This adorable bird bag by Minä Perhonen in the window display of Scarlet Jones instantly drew my eye, and I immediately started fantasising about toting that around. That is, however, until I called the store and discovered the price: $1000 exactly, just a tad out of my price range. My little daydream instantly collapsed.

Since 2000, Japanese label Minä Perhonen has been producing a single Tori bag every season, a collector’s item which is made from quality thick leather. This bag from Spring/Summer 14/15, literally draws its inspiration from the Mediterranean sea with hand painted ocean-blue swirls. You can ‘add to cart’ here, but on reflection, I think I would prefer to invest the money into a holiday on the Mediterranean!
