Fashion Bags

If you go to 12c Russell Street, you'll find us inside Queens Mansion. It’s a classic building with a lot of history and Fashion Bags is tucked away there. We have bags of all kinds shoved into every corner of the space. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes. We’ve been at this location for a good while and we like being in this part of town. People come in looking for something sturdy to carry their things and we usually have a few options to show them. It’s not a fancy boutique with velvet ropes. It's more of a place where you can touch the materials and see how the zippers work. The hallway outside is always a bit noisy with people coming and going from the other offices. We spend our days unpacking new stock or helping a customer who wandered in from the street. The rent goes up but we stay because our regulars know where to find us. Sometimes we have to move boxes around just to find a place to sit and have lunch. It’s a simple business. We sell bags and that’s about it. Nothing too complicated or stressful, just keeping the shelves full and the shop open during the usual hours. The windows are high up so we don't see much of the street, but we hear the horns honking all day. It keeps us feeling connected to the city. We have been here so long we don't even notice the noise anymore.
