Now how about THAT for luxury? All of my experience with drawstring backpacks usually involved punch high school gym clothes or college laundry in a cotton or nylon bag. Bottega Veneta however, has transformed this dorm room staple into an upscale, Italian-made, intricately woven item for $3480 (Available at Barney’s). It seems a shame to carry such humble items of my school days in such finery now, unless you upgrade to a cashmere blanket and silk pajamas for your girlfriend’s sleepover.
