The Expatriate Act

Xpat Handbags

Welcome aboard flight 509 to Cincinnati by way of Marrakech. Please make sure your fraying seat belt is fastened and your seat is in the most uncomfortable position.

All carry-ons must be stowed in the already-crowded overhead compartment or shoved beneath the miniscule seat in front of you — unless, of course, you’re carrying an Xpat bag. That pretty puppy can stay firmly on your lap.

Xpat’s unique cloth satchels can be used for groceries, clasped like a clutch, even unfolded to make an impromptu blanket. It’s the only bag you’ll need on a journey, be it around the world or the block.

Each design is constructed of repurposed vintage fabrics with striking prints from the exceptional textile collection of VintageloftNYC.

Something tells us they’re about to really take off.

Available at Pulp Lab, 5402 22nd Avenue (206-706-7857 or pulplab.com); online at xpathandbags.com.
