It is a book bag! And then I saw the tag and the logo was all to familiar. Yes, these bags are indeed from Claire's Accessories. I believe this is from a Japanese branch of the shop (I have certainly not seen them in the UK). The quality is not going to be on the same level as the Innocent World ones but obviously they are going to be very cheap if they are being sold at Claires. If I saw a book bag in my local branch, I would definitely think about buying one. If anybody has seen these bags about then I would love to hear about it. I would especially love to hear if anybody has found these being sold in Claire's branches outside of Japan.
I think it is amazing how the same shop can vary so much between countries... and it looks like Japan is getting all the good stuff! Come on Claire's, show the UK some love too!
I thought the darker ones was pretty cute though :D
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think the darker one looks nicer for some reason! I have a feeling I am not going to be able to find it though :(
DeleteHaha, at least you HAVE Claire's ^^ I only got to enjoy it when I lived in Germany, Claire's doesn't exist in Sweden yet ^^ Don't they look very small? Like slightly bigger than a wallet?
ReplyDeleteOh, I had no idea Sweden didn't have Claire's! Hmm... it is hard to tell how big they really are in the photos. You probably wouldn't fit lots of stuff in them.
DeleteI would love a wallet sized bookbag actually.
DeleteOne of the brands needs to make it.
Oh woah, hope they do start selling over here! I'd love one that I can treat roughly (I'm too scared of damaging my AP one to use it very much!).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can understand that! XD At least replacing these wouldn't break the bank.
Deleteit really is annoying when they don't sell the same things. I'm not a fan of Claires but i saw so many cute things in the USA branch online!
ReplyDeletex<3
It is so frustrating. My local branch is awful! I always have better luck when I visit other branches. Even in the same country, it varies so much branch to branch. So weird!
DeleteI bought one of those bags [Not at Claires Japan, but Ichigo House] when I was in Japan last year, and the quality was excellent.
ReplyDeleteThey were about 3500 yen, and twice the size as the ones pictured from Claires, but clearly from the same manufacture.
Similar bags were being sold in other shops in imitation suede for 4000yen.
They are a very reasonably priced bag and good quality.
Oooh. That is good to know! I will have to try and look that up :)
DeleteOMG! I really hope US stores carry these. I check last weekend I didn't see anything good. I google search and I found the same dark brown picture here: http://tokyofashion.com/uniqlo-velveteen-blazer-kinji-short-skirt-heart-shaped-swimmer-handbag/tk-2012-02-11-005-005-harajuku/
ReplyDeleteCool! It looks bigger in that picture. I think the darker coloured one is nicer.
DeleteThose look really cute! I hope we get them in the US, and I hope you guys get them too.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! :D
DeleteSo cute ! I checked in France but unfortunatly didn't see one of these bags in the Claire's I was... *sad*
ReplyDeleteAww. That's a shame :(
DeleteHey Luna! If these pop up in Reading or Bracknell do you want me to pick you one up? :3 Kitt
ReplyDeleteOooh! Yes please!
DeleteI just checked, they don't have it in the USA branch of clair's. I'm guessing it's a Japan only item :(
ReplyDeleteThey do however, have a great sale on basic socks and tights.
You might be right :( I may pop in to Claire's on Sunday and have a look at their socks though!
