Listen up mods; Soapbox has got a bag for you!
The Metro City Bag looks like it’s stepped out of another time, and I like it. While it might seem a bit incongruous with the modern fashion landscape, there’s a free-spirited energy about the retro spots which adorn this purse which is difficult to resist.
The ring handles complete the modish look. I really like the look, and I can’t imagine it’d be too impractical to carry either. They probably won’t be as comfortable as a wide, leather strap, but you should be able to swing them over your shoulder.
Like any good retro bag, The Metro City isn’t very big. That might seem like a drawback, but with modern handbags seeming to shrink with every season I don’t think it’s a bad thing. It just helps you resist the temptation to carry a lot of clutter, leaving space for the essentials like a wallet, cell phone, and sunglasses.
The Metro City is a fairly simple bag really, a fashion throwback without any trappings of luxury. Thankfully it doesn’t come with a contemporary price tag either. It might have been a small fortune in the late 60s, but right now the $49.95 asking price is a steal!
