A.P.C. Moon bag

My A.P.C. moon bag has been the bag of my dreams since I bought it four years ago – how time flies! I have worn it to death, and it is certainly paying for it. By around the second or third month of owning it, I gave up on protecting it. Since then I have worn it like an extension of me. It gets bumped and knocked and is covered in so many scratches there are too many to count. 

I have always wanted a ‘new’ fresh bag, but didn’t really see the point, as I knew it would sit in the cupboard whilst I preferred to pick up the bag I know cannot be damaged any further (that is if it doesn’t fall apart). 

But, this year I decided to buy a new one. It was actually really hard to do, as I am not gaining anything that is necessarily different, and it is almost like saying goodbye to the original. 

However, this March, I started to feel like it was time, as I didn’t want to damage it any more than it already is. It has now been two months since I bought the new bag – this time in black rather than navy – and I have worn it five times. It is funny, I still wear the other more. I really should try to let go, but I hate the fear of damaging something that is at the moment so perfect.
