I posted this in the chat thread but also posting here bc handbags depress me too, yet somehow I am looking for one😂 Looking for a hardware-free, minimalist leather crossbody purse big enough to hold wallet,keys, phone, hard sunglasses case, and maybe a couple snacks ;) I like bags by ARE Studio, Hannah Emile, and Lindquist Objects (been contemplating the Po bag) but wanted to see if Erin or any Concorde readers have any other recs, new or vintage. Thanks!
Hey Margot! I hear you... despite being depressed by handbags I still need to use them occasionally. A couple quick ideas: Il Bisonte is an Italian brand that started in the '70s and you can find some really nice vintage ones in solid color leathers on eBay. If you have a bigger budget, Lemaire's croissant bags are cool. I'm also really into L.A.-based Building Block. I think these will fit the "minimalist" bill nicely. They have a few options on sale right now https://building--block.com/ -- erin
Oh man, call me influenced. I thought about the Uzi pants all week and bought them today. Also wanted to recommend Hannah Emile for really soft, gorgeous, handmade bags.
Remembering fondly my X-Girl pin-tucked front seam jeans circa 1996 bought in their Los Feliz shop that were definitely not high rise! I felt sharp wearing them around London where I was living that following year.
Hello! Please may I ask what ‘jawn’ means? I’m new here obviously but am very much enjoying everything, and am very glad I found you. What other important words will I need to know?!
Love the silver. And the jeans rec. Had been thinking of getting that shape in black pants, plus pulling forward a similar vintage pair from my closet. And the bags! Can't wait for the next issue.
Excited for this column and to hear more from Erin! Looking forward to not spending as much time digging in the archives for womens labels (though that was often fun too)
Hearing that makes my day- thank you! I love what you’re making and devour these newsletters as soon as they come into my inbox. Thank you for making content thats so intelligent and thoughtful.
Yesss!! Thank you for launching the last sletter! I’ve already sent it out to a bunch of friends. Love BBSP and can’t wait to read more fem-centric jawn life perspectives based in the same kind of philosophy. 🙏

Haha, handbags depress me too. I am so happy to have found my way here.

X-Girl, yes!

Ha ha welcome! Jawn (outside of its original Philly context) basically refers to a cool article of clothing … more broadly, a cool thing.
I believe the Philly jawn is a corruption of “joint,” and can be used to refer to things, places, etc etc
Thank you! I’m enjoying your writing very much.

Love the retro modern name as well!
Yeah! Hopefully this makes it easier to find some things for the hot lady army
U ignore nowakowski!!
Such a fantastic piece. These looks remind me of Fall 99 Helmut Lang - the silver motorcross collection paired with simple neutrals.
Oh, yes, Lisa! That was such a good collection, with some head-to-toe silver too. BTW, I was a big Vena Cava fan and held onto some pieces

Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoy it
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Advanced style in the form of black stockings and ecru shoes more of this! Dope shit love you

what a debut! Norma Kamali also has some very stretchy silver jawns
Oh yes, good call — Kamali is a great one. Her sleeping bag coats are a more affordable alternative to Sofie D’Hoore
