Disco bag, repurposed

As you may know, I started a new job a few weeks ago. Since I now work in hip downtown Toronto, I figured my scraggy plastic lunch bag just wouldn't do. I needed a hip bag into which I could toss lunch, a water bottle, an umbrella, etc and tote around in addition to my purse.

In a vintage shop around the corner from where I work, I found the answer for under $20: a 1970s gold tote bag that can fold into a clutch (you can see the buttons where you can clip it closed as a clutch).

So this is now my lunch bag/everything bag. It's simple, chic and goes with everything, and big enough to fit my water bottle, insulated lunch bag and a extra stuff if I need it to.

At the end of the day, when my lunch is done, the bag gets smaller and I can fold it into the clutch style. That's my nifty vintage solution!
