Soapbox channels all of the charm of the Orient for its the Singapore Carpet Bag.
The term carpet bag is a bit of a misnomer of course, as unlike the carpet bags of old it’s not made from carpet at all. The satiny material is much more sophisticated though, so I’m happy to forgive Soapbox for its mistitling. At least it’s got a suitably Asian print as all good carpet bags should.
And the interior is surprisingly well appointed for a frame bag. The fully lined space is equipped with elastic loops of various sizes to hold your cell phone, lipstick, pens, and sunglasses in place. There are also two zippered pockets for the valuables which crave more security.
I also love the satiny strap, which while skinny should feel much more comfortable on your shoulder than a traditional metal chain would.
If I had any gripes it’s the lack of choice Soapbox offers us. This basic black design is perfectly acceptable, an elegant option and one that’s easy to coordinate with any ensemble. But I’d love to see a few more prints and colors on offer all the same.
