Strewn around the necks, chests, and wrists of Ulla Johnson’s model lineup were oversized bucket bags and woven crossbodies, as well as sunglass cases attached to necklace-like straps, water bottle bags, and tiny coin purses designed to latch right onto belt loops. Looking at the bounty of bags presented at Ulla Johnson’s show, we couldn’t help but wonder why we so often resign ourselves to using one big carryall — or, if we’re feeling chic, one tiny ornamental bag and another canvas tote for all the necessary spillover. After all, think about how much we’d save on chiropractor appointments if we weren’t constantly lopsided from lugging around one 20-pound shoulder bag each and every day.
