We’ve all been there: you spot a truly unique accessory on a stylish stranger, and you have to know where it’s from. Well, the search is over for one of the most eye-catching bags I’ve seen lately!

I recently spotted this bag, and I just had to get one of these for myself!

During a recent trip to a local Gail’s Bakery in London (hello, perfect morning bun!), I spotted a fantastic, slouchy shoulder bag with a bold, all-over number print in cream and black. The distinctive knot-style shoulder strap gives it a relaxed, hobo-esque silhouette that is perfectly on-trend for casual-chic everyday wear.

A Closer Look at the SOU・SOU Bag

• Style: It features an asymmetrical, hobo, or knot-bag shape (sometimes called an “Origami Shoulder Bag”), complete with a single shoulder strap that tucks back onto itself, creating a knot-like closure.
• Material: The bags are often made with 100% cotton, making them a durable and convenient choice for daily use.

The combination of the neutral cream and black palette with the playful, bold print makes this bag an ideal statement piece that doesn’t overpower an outfit. It’s practical, unique, and has that coveted, “I-just-threw-this-on” stylish appeal.er an outfit. It’s practical, unique, and has that coveted, “I-just-threw-this-on” stylish appeal.
