Murakami Neverfull MM

Here it sits on the Neverfull, the open, unfussy tote the house introduced in 2007, in coated canvas with leather trim. The MM is the middle size: about 12.2 inches wide, 11.4 inches tall and 5.5 inches deep, with handles that drop 8.5 inches, enough to sit easily on the shoulder. The canvas is light and tough, and the print does a great deal of the styling for you, which is why it is better worn with something plain. This piece is new.

Think of it as a holiday bag with credentials. It suits travel, long summer days and festivals, where it swallows a sweater, sunglasses, a book and the things you did not plan to carry. Pair it with white linen, washed denim or a black swimsuit and a shirt, and let it be the loudest thing you wear. A summer with it on Saclyn is a pleasant way to find out how much colour you actually want in your life.
