a SHIFT in how I CARRY my day
I honestly never thought my relationship with my Fjällräven backpack would shift the way it has. It’s not over — I still reach for it when I travel or when it makes sense — but for the day-to-day, working out of coffee shops and other creative, cultural spaces, something’s changed. As a wardrobe stylist, I’ve always been the person carrying / rolling lots of bags, so I am always looking for ease. A backpack fit that life. Khaki, utilitarian, quietly fashion. That chapter started around 2016, and looking back, it feels like a full cycle.

oh hello, Topologie
The shift actually started small. I was looking for a laptop case and a girlfriend mentioned Topologie. I took a look and… that was it. SOLD. One thing led to another and suddenly I was rethinking how I carry my day.

Now it’s two bags: one top handle, one shoulder / crossbody. Less about hauling everything, more about intention. I still care deeply about function, but I’m also really into the craftsmanship of a beautiful designer bag — paired with something practical, clean, and graphic. Same, but different rhythm.
