Wardrobe Feature: Coffin Bag

I'm not really a bag person - I'm somewhat baffled by how some people can obsess over relatively plain, expensive bags, and I don't always even carry one. My work horse for the past two years has been my brown leather satchel - not very goth, but it's the only bag that can cope with the amount I lug to and fro from uni. I have lots of plain black bags for going out, which are sufficient for money, my phone and keys, but none of them are particularly exciting.

Not actually a great photo (I was having major problems with my hair that day, and Ben is still struggling dealing with my camera), but it was too cute to resist.

My one true goth bag has always been my coffin bag, which I finally procured last summer off eBay; it's a good size, with a removable internal pocket (strange, I know, but useful) and a cross body strap - though irritatingly doesn't come with back straps to allow for use as a back pack - and instantly makes any outfit Goth As Fuck.

Sadly, it's not so appropriate for taking to lectures at the hospital, so it tends to be reserved for out of hours use.

One of the interesting things about owning an wardrobe item that is so ubiquitous it has become a cliché is the different ways of styling it. I actually really enjoy seeing them on fashion blogs, just to view the wildly different looks they get incorporated into. I'm still playing with what to wear it with, but maybe you'll see it more on the blog.
