MARIAN KEYES'S LIGHT BLUE LEATHER BACKPACK WITH BAMBOO HANDLE AND TASSELS
I bought this bag on a Saturday afternoon in 2014. My memory is, I walked into Selfridges, saw it, and immediately fell in love. At the time, I was coming out of a long spell of rickety mental health where everything seemed joyless and bleak; but I saw this bag, and the intensity of the colour filled me with happiness. Then the beauty of the leather caught me, the iconic bamboo handle and buttons, and the fact that it's a backpack - I love bags that leave my hands free. It was expensive, but I was able to own the fact that I had worked hard for a long time, and I was proud to be able to afford it from my own earnings. It has brought me nothing but happiness. -Marian Keyes
