. “The version she’s carrying today was originally mint green, but it’s so dingy, covered with stains, pen marks, and even a chewed-up piece of gum, that it looks almost gray. ‘It explains my life,’ Olsen says, sighing, when asked about her beloved accessory’s sorry state.
Even more derelict is her large black leather Kelly bag, whose bottom has faded from black to gray with scratches. Olsen has worn it universally everywhere: out and about in a pair of slacker sweatpants and in a fur jacket as she is grabbing a Starbucks coffee. In some cases, she has used it to hide her face from the paparazzi. Though the bag costs upwards of $10,000, she treats it like the overstuffed briefcase of a used-car salesman..
Of course, there are moments in which a roughed-up bag doesn’t connote glam insouciance. If you’re going to a job interview, you likely don’t want to wear a bag that looks like it has been chewed up by a dog. Nor do you want your bag to get to the point of no repair. There is, of course, value in taking care of a bag, but if your pochettes or totes get scuffed in the process, don’t fret: It’s not the end of the world.
Dragging a designer bag around to death gives off a devil-may-care attitude. Who can be bothered to be so careful anymore? I carry it like a flimsy tote not because I don’t care about my clothes, but because I have a life to live, and, honestly, places to be! True luxury is wearing something costly over and over again. Besides, the point of clothes is to ultimately tell stories. And all that wear and tear is earned and means the bag—and its wearer—has very much lived a life.
