I LOVE this bag to pieces. Here is the description on the Kate Spade website: during WW2, soldiers painted their bags so that they could be easily identified. a tribute to unwavering american spirit, the painted satchels have been replicated using distressed leather and aged hardware. each is hand-painted and uniquely authentic. we hope you enjoy this quiet salute.

If I had $400 to burn I would totally buy it. {I wonder if I could recreate something like this?}

Update: I just asked Paul and he said all we would need is a good canvas bag and we could gesso it and paint it! I feel a summer project coming on!}
