When winter skies open up, I always hesitate to drag out my favorite designer purses. Leather and water don’t mix, and those babies are too expensive to ruin. But Megawing has created a tote which celebrates inclement weather.
The Newspaper Rain Bag looks like it’s made from the latest daily rag, but it’s actually a clever trompe l’oeil. It’s made from water resistant canvas, which is tough enough to keep your precious cargo dry in a downpour.
The best part for me though is that it can keep you dry too. Simply unfold it and hold it over your head if you’re caught without cover. It’s much more effective than a real soggy newspaper, but I’m not sure I’d trust it as an umbrella substitute!
Don’t put the Newspaper Rain Bag at the back of your closet when the skies clear though. Its whimsical design is ideal all year round, and there’s plenty of space inside it for everyday essentials.
The Megawing Newspaper Rain Bag is available for $68 from the Yanko Design Designer Store.
