THE NORTH FACE
SHOULDER TOTE BAG




After injuring the ligaments in my ankle while bouldering, everything honestly started to feel like a hassle.
I spent some time on crutches, with not just my leg but both hands tied up as well. Moving around was difficult, and my mood was not great either.
So at the very least, I wanted my everyday carry to be as stress-free as possible.
That is when this CORDURA NYLON SHOULDER TOTE BAG from THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL fit perfectly into my life.
Rooted in the 1990s THE NORTH FACE USA ski line, it has the reassuring reliability of true outdoor gear.
The combination of 500-denier CORDURA nylon and 75-denier ripstop fabric feels tough and dependable, yet surprisingly lightweight for city use. With a water-repellent finish, it handles changing weather and sudden rain without worry.
The shoulder strap uses a logo jacquard tape and is easy to handle even while wearing gloves.
Front, side, and interior pockets are thoughtfully placed for quick access, showing the kind of practicality you expect from an outdoor brand.
It works just as well for hiking and camping as it does for travel when you want to keep things light.
It does not try too hard, and it never feels forced.
Comfortable both outdoors and in the city, that balance is what makes this bag special.
Right now, this feels exactly right for me.
P.S. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Truly.
