Every monsoon, we have two options: turn on stealth mode, taking to hiding under trees and unsuspecting strangers’ umbrellas to save our delicate bags, or stride forward with bag in hand and no fear of the water. Having belonged to category A for far too long, we decided that it was time to stop the suffering and finally get some weather-friendly bags. Here are what our investigations yielded.
ZaraThis classic mini-white bag is awesome for a day out when we don’t have a gazillion things to toss in. The plastic shields our bag from the rain, and a pouch keeps our wallet and keys from jangling around. PS: it has a detachable shoulder strap too.Price: INR 1,490 {after discount}
