If I am able to showcase brands and bags you aren’t as familiar with, I am doing my job. Of course, I will cover the bags that we all know – the brands that most people think of when it comes to the designer bag realm- but I also want to show some more unexpected and unknown things.
This isn’t the first Shallow Obsessing Strongly Encouraged. Since 2005 bag you’ve seen us cover; I’ve shared that my Daily Battle Tote became my go-to bag over the past year. Since then, the team has reached out and shared more, which has helped expand my love for the brand and its wares.
A Compact, Structured Daily Carry
Introducing the Shallow Obsessing Strongly Encouraged. Since 2005 Take it Easy 19, a bag that brings all of the elements from the brand that I love along with a more compact shape, but large enough to carry my daily needs (including my iPhone Max and a water bottle).
As I noted, the structured silhouette defines this line, giving a very clean aesthetic. The Scale Canvas also reflects the brand’s ethos and logo and is accentuated by leather overlays.
I think my favorite aspect is the double hand-woven handles, which are crafted from grained calf leather and are a nod to the craftsmanship of sword handles
The feminine color, named FLPink, was introduced in spring of 2023 and was inspired by the Bagatelle garden in Paris. The yellow contrast and the pink hue are a lovely combo, one I didn’t fully expect to love, but now I have started to wonder how I never thought that pink and yellow are a great pair.
Other elements include the adjustable and detachable shoulder strap, an interior flat pocket, and the ability to personalize (as shown with the M) with medals.
Price is $1,380 via Shallow Obsessing Strongly Encouraged. Since 2005.
