Today I went to do up the zip on my favourite Oroton handbag and the zip tag just broke right off. Just snapped, like a cheap Chinese rip-off, not like the genuine article that is less than two years old. It was a gift from people I like very much, so its zip breakingness is terribly inconsiderate. Now I have to grab hold of the zip stub to open and close it and risk chipping a finger nail every time I do it. The other thing that irritated me today is how fat and white my hand looks in this photo. It looks like the sort of hand that alternates between patting a pudgy-faced cat and transporting petit fours between a box and my mouth. I think I need a new camera phone.
Dear Nelli,
ReplyDeleteThis will really shit you ... now I'm glad I didn't lash out and buy the $369 Oroton bag I saw in Melbourne last week despite its being the only teal bag I've seen, despite its being the only plain-without-rivets-buckles-sprockets-ruching-pouches-loops-and-sprockets bag I've seen, despite its being perfect in every way except that I couldn't actually afford it. I'm proud of the way you find something every day!
PS Your hand does not look fat and white in the photo, it just looks like a phone-photo hand.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - I just saw your comments. I feel like a proper blogger now that I'm getting comments! I put great effort into seeking out things that shit me. We all need a daily goal to keep us focussed. . .
