i have wanted to start a thread like this for some time.... A kind of love sonnet, as it were, to that notorious line of bags known as
sweet punk. The sweet punk bags were part of the resort 2006 collection. They were an ode to those early days of punk rock - - the late 1970s'-early 1980's, when "anarchy" ruled, being "pretty vacant" was cool, and leather and studs were it.... The bags were named after some of the top musical icons of that time.
The sweet punk bags boast buttery soft leather (soft beyond belief.... Kangaroo leather, i'm told), with scuffed punk rock studs down the front with cool zipper pockets and some super heavy duty hardware. They have a fabulously worn in, vintage punk rock look and feel. And yes, they
do most assuredly rock!!!!
I have been a drooling, fainting rabid fan - crazy for sweet punk for quite some time. Unfortunately, when they first came out, these bags were extremely expensive!! Many of us could not afford them at their original retail prices. The good news is that eventually they started showing up on the secondary market, which enabled some of us fans to snatch them up at more reasonable prices.
I have been lucky enough to gather a modest little collection, which i
treasure! I thought i would make this a little mini forum for sp lovers to share their thoughts and hopefully their bags - - kind of like a little fan club like we have for the hudson, and others..... Maybe there will be interest, maybe there won't, but i thought it might be worth a try! So i guess i will start the ball rolling with a few pics of my very own sp family......... So without further ado, i present:
back left: The sid, in bisque
back right: Siouxie, in black
front left: Pouchette, in fluo orange
front right: Make-up pouch, in chalk
(the pouchette is no longer with me as of a couple of weeks ago...)

i also had the hobo (back left) in fluo orange for a short time, but she also is no longer with me....
