Over the shoulder

The last time I bought a backpack was, give or take, twenty years ago. Until I saw the Chanel show, I thought it would stay that way. But then Karl sent a few nice models into the Grand Palais that awakened my hungry and greedy self. You have them in all shapes and sizes. A lot is possible and a lot is allowed. As long as you adhere to two immensely important rules. The backpack must never be worn on the belly. Never. Despite the two handles, there is a prohibition on wearing the backpack over two shoulders. Nonchalant ease is the word. Basta.
