Alexandra Cassaniti's stylish uni-sex Money Bags are re-purposed from actual official federal money bag. The worn canvas, distressed from carrying around all those Benjamins, is finished with a leather base and puffy leather backpack straps that can also be carried like a handbag. Cassiniti's eponymous surf style line takes the position that 'it€™s always summer somewhere' and each season she releases a new 'Summer' collection.
Her accessories are known for being eye-catching and unique, and this bag takes it to another level with it€™s interesting history. However, this bag isn't just a cool concept or green gimmick, it's also a well designed piece that would be a great finishing touch to a wide range of outfits - from a beach cover-up to a more urban look of jeans, a blazer and heels. And, we can't help but think the bag's past life as a money carrier might bring some good luck to the lady carrying this cool tote because ... once a money bag, always a money bag, right?!
