As with any endeavor in life, the first step is to look the part. So naturally I have been scouring the earth for the perfect law school desk, outfits, bag etc. Today I'd like to introduce you to the ultimate law school bag. I first happened upon Libby Lane in my April/May 2013 issue of Garden and Gun. I am instantly drawn to anyone else named Libby because, let's be honest, you're thinking it too: What a name! Luckily, my initial reaction was completely justified as she is shockingly cool and creates these beautiful leather goods by hand on her grandfather's land in Texas. I mean, swoon. Right? This is the bag of a chic, young law student living in the south and preparing to burst onto the Atlanta legal scene. Whatever that means. It looks amazing in my head.
Unfortunately, I will need a very high paying legal career before I can afford this slice of heaven so I continued my search. I am quite a fan of Jessica Graves, author of The Love List. I found this next bag via her Instagram. It is equally handsome and most likely more functional* than my leather love and, like me, it is from Atlanta! (*Generally, functionality is my enemy as the most beautiful things are rarely the most practical but in this case, I get the whole package.) Andover Trask bags are handmade in Atlanta and come in one style, The Standard Bag. It really is the standard bag; good looking and functional. What more could you want from a bag?
So, as it is, I will be toting an Andover Trask Standard Bag around Athens. Can't you just picture it? The two colors above are my favorite but feel free to vote for yours. In addition, if you've recently come into some money and want to purchase me a Libby Lane bag I will not be opposed.
