this baggy/wide trend in the west is exactly that, a trend. but in JP it's always been another fit/cut of how you wear clothes. even in the late 00's/10's when it was slim time, baggy/wide was very well alive in haraujuku.
It’s undeniably a fortune (even if it costs a couple hundred less where I live.) But I’ve gathered that the redeeming qualities that make it worth it (for those who can afford it) are that the leather is comfortable and strong, the bag can go crossbody, shoulder, or hand-held, the canvas is reinforced and durable, and the leather actually runs all the way down and under the bag, so it’s strong enough to hold your laptop, etc, without concerns about stressing the seams. These people also find it so beautiful that they’re hoping it’ll be their bag for life, saving them money down the line. Though of course, we all tell ourselves that until the next discovery!
