“We're in the business of selling pleasure. We don't sell handbags or haute couture. We sell dreams.” Alain Wertheimer, chairman of Chanel fashion house.
In the 80s I was in college in downtown Chicago. I had a universal crush on bike messengers, who were everywhere then. So I bought a bright red nylon Crate & Barrel crossbody duffel bag because I could wear it messenger style. I've never stopped wearing crossbody bags. Went through a long Timbuk2 phase in the 2000s through maybe last year.

I also loved messenger bags - they held a lot, but they also got too heavy to carry. What fun to have a phased 2.
Funny. The video is why I don't have a dumb "smart house."
I agree - it was a big reminder that you have to be careful with technology!
