Have you ever wonder what the fashion packs really bring in with them in their bags during Fashion Week? They roam around here and there, jotting down stuff they see on the runway onto some notepad that you thought should be at least a Moleskin, took out their phone to tweet this and that, and chuck 'em all again to hush to the next venue in town once this session finished. It's all in their bags. But what's in there? You must've guessed that anything inside those tote or backpack or folders ought to be something flashy... fashiony... something that people like you don't normally bring. Well, let's see what they have as being thrashed by The Guardian UK.

My bag? It depends on the mood and the 'theme' of the day. It has to be streamline with what I'm wearing as well. One of the bags that I usually carry is this tote by Topman. I think lots of people around me drool over this cheapo - including my sisters and my colleagues!
