I don't really know what they have to do with Massachusetts but boston bags are my favourite style of bag. They're nice and simple, the ideal shape and nine times out of ten are the perfect size. This one I spotted at Journal Standard has all those good characteristics and a bit more. The colour and materials on this bag is what I love most though. The wax coated canvas looks like it has already been worn in for you to give it a stellar indigo colour. I'm not crazy about the handle ends but leather is always a nice touch and the copper colour is just right. I like boston bags because they're good for any age and outfit really, a good finishing touch on a fun spring look. I can't wait to see more small duffles this spring.

I concur. I like Boston bags, but there is always something about Jas M.B's bags that I dislike. In this case, like you said already, it's the handle ends/arrows.
This is nice O.P similar to the Mismo but alot less low key. I did't like the handles on first look either but they have kinda grown on me - shame they look slightly to small for shoulder use. How much do they go for ... ?
for what it is i suppose it's pretty expensive at 35,700yen.
i feel like it could just as easily be a gem of a find at a thrift store somewhere for $10, maybe that's why i like it...

Yeah i agree - has a very vintage feel to it, i can imagine English footballers from the 60's carrying there kit to the game with it.
I like it, I'm sure the handles would wear down nicely with use over time and the colour is great for Spring.
