• bra straps never stay up
• shirts with straps are constantly falling
• wide neckline means the top is now off the shoulder
• the only hand bag that stays on correctly are cross body bags
• tote bags are a nightmare
• sometimes backpacks straps are too wide and you have to hunch over to keep the straps on I’m wishing I had just a little more shoulder so I could casually show off my tote bag collection without being inconvenienced.
tote bags are the most useless bag
- everything piles up and scratches each other
- it’s heavy and clawing into your shoulder making you walk like you have scoliosis
This is a persistent, immovable fixation of mine: More tote bags should have a single strap. Two straps are illogically floppy. One is always dangling down like a spaghetti strap you constantly have to push back up. Therefore, the ideal tote should have a single, blissful broad strap. So far, the best I've found is from Montreal's Eden Power Corp. It's got a satisfying curve along the bottom and a curious tie-knot design at the apex of the strap. It's like a futuristic mail carrier bag.
Don't get me wrong. They can be practical and I'm sure at some point I'll have to use one in some other context that isn't buying groceries. But I'm tired of people who treat it like it's a statement piece in fashion. They ruin their outfits with it and they try (and fail) to manipulate me into thinking I need it. It's very ugly. I'm so sorry to the people who use it genuinely thinking it looks good with their outfit. 😭 Every time a person is trying stuff on in a video and they finish it with "of course my iconic tote bag couldn't be left out" or something like that, a fairy dies.
