Fashion Is Losing the Middle Ground

Tk.

Lindsay is a 32-year-old woman hunting for a new purse. She’s looking for a classic shape—let’s say a top–handle shoulder bag— that can hold her cellphone, keys, and a few other little things. She needs it to last for at least five years without major wear–and–tear. She’s hoping not to splurge, so it can’t cost more than $300. If she could check it out at her nearest mall first (which she admits she hasn’t been to in a minute), that would be even better. And when people see it, she wants it to telegraph cool for as long as it can. No tacky hardware, no garish colors, nothing that screams: “This was on sale” or “Everyone on TikTok has it, so I got it, too.”

Where can Lindsay find her bag?
